November 9th – Rubberducky
Rubberducky, you’re the one. In honor of our other number one Duckies, this month it’s time to swish and swash with good old Rubberducky (embedded map). But this plastic variety is a fibbing feathered alternative with a bill as long as our favorite wooden marionette’s nose. So don’t trust everything you hear as we bikeinshapes, Tuesday, November 9th. We’ll depart from Ninkasi Brewing Company at 7:30pm, returning for pint at the tail end. Friends and newcomers welcome!
FYI: We’ll be taking December off for the holidays, but be ready to bikeinshapes around Eugene in 2011!
