10th Annual Leftovers Ride with Joyful Riders

Join us for the 10th anniversary of the Leftovers Ride—a Joyful Riders Club Black Friday tradition!

After you’ve braved (or avoided) the malls and the crowds, come and enjoy a relaxing bike ride with your friends and family on the day after Thanksgiving. We’ll explore scenic spots in Minneapolis, share delicious leftovers, and have a blast burning a table.

The Leftovers Ride is an annual event that celebrates community, silliness, and a bit of low-key debauchery. It started 10 years ago when we stumbled upon a table in the forest and decided to set it on fire. Now, every year, we bring a new table to burn as a symbol of our gratitude and joy.

Here are the details of this year’s ride:

Meet at 3:00 p.m. at Fulton Beer’s taproom in North Loop
 Ride at 3:30 p.m., following a route of about 6 miles round trip.
 Stop at the Bohemian Flats Park picnic area
 Build a roaring fire and feast on our Turkey Day leftovers. Bring your own food, drinks, utensils, and plates. We’ll provide the table (to burn) and the firewood.
 Ride homeward to Fulton Beer, where every participant gets a free beer, THC beverage, or non-alcoholic drink courtesy of Fulton.

This ride is kid- and family-friendly and open to riders of all skills and experience levels. We might shorten the route depending on the weather and the needs of attendees.

We ride at a leisurely pace of about 8–10 miles per hour, and we have a sweeper and regroup points to keep everyone together. All you need is a bike, a helmet, a light, and a sense of adventure.

Don’t miss this chance to have some fun and make some memories on Black Friday. Join us for the Leftovers Ride and be part of a unique Minneapolis tradition!
