Urban Restaurant Tour This Week!
For those of you who have been following City Bike Tampa for some time now, you know that these rides have become somewhat of a big deal, not just for us, but for the 5 carefully selected restaurants that make it into our lineup each time.
This go around we are featuring Sono Cafe (@ the TMA on Curtis Hixon Park), Pizzaiolo Bavaro on Franklin Street, Stumps Supper Club @ Channelside, New World Brewery on 8th Ave in Ybor City and our close neighbor, Fly Bar and Restaurant.
Complete details including stop off times are in the flyer, which you may have seen around town or can simply download in .pdf format here (1.69MB).
This time around we were also fortunate enough to obtain sponsorship from tbt* (*Tampa Bay Times), which has helped us grow our RSVP list to well over 50 riders. At this point, we are expecting close to 100 people on this ride. Details on how you can RSVP are in the tbt* ad above and also in the promo flyer (1.69MB).
We look forward to seeing you this Thursday night!
