Grab your bike and join us for an unforgettable adventure through Central Austin! Weβre hunting down gorgeous heritage oaks, some funky and odd trees, and the ultimate prize, Chicken-of-the-Woods mushrooms (Laetiporus)! Whether youβre a seasoned forager or just starting out, this is all about sharpening your ID skills and learning in a fun, hands-on way. No expertise or membership requiredβjust good vibes and an open mind! π
More eyes = more mushrooms, so letβs see what hidden treasures we can find together!
π Important stuff:
Liability waivers must be signed (we gotta keep it official).
Helmets are required. If you don't have one, borrow one from Ghisallo
4.5 miles one way, but donβt worry, itβs a chill, laid-back ride.
We'll hit up bike lanes and the hike-and-bike trail through the heart of urban Austin.
Ghisallo Cycling Initiative will be joining to do ride marshalling (leading + blocking corners) as well as lights and other safety swag handouts!
π΄ No bike?
No worries! There are bike shares and docking stations at the starting point. Just show up and roll out!
πΉ After-party at Cosmic Cafe
Weβll end our adventure with some much-needed food and bevs at Cosmic Cafe at Saltillo Plaza! If you plan to stay, donβt forget a light for the ride home in the dark.
Come for the mushrooms, stay for the fun! π Letβs get cycling, foraging, and making memories. See you there!
