Bike Riding to Stillwater... June 9th!

Just Announced: ThriftyHipster.com will be leading a crew of bikers to Rock The Vine 3 (Rock the Cause) at Stillwater's Saint Croix Vineyards.

We couldn't pass up combining 2 of our favorite things, Live Music for a good cause and Bike riding:)  So, when Rock the Cause asked us to sponsor their 3rd annual Rock the Vine, we volunteered to lead the bikers. 

We'll be announcing more details as they come in. The plan is to meet in Como Park and charge up with Vitamin Water, pump tires, and the like, then head up the Gateway Trail about 24 miles to Stillwater.

This all day bash will feature wine tasting, food trucks, good beer, and of course, stellar musical performances all with the worthy cause of fighting hunger for the Compatible Technology International. 

St. Croix Vineyards in Stillwater, MN is a local winery formed in 1992.  Known for good wines and great weekend getaways:) This normally quiet vineyard will be partyin'.  We'll have a special bike lock area for those of you riding with us to the event and a volunteer to check in on the bikes from time to time.

BANDS play 12pm - 8pm!
