saturday: tour de fruit

This Saturday, 19 June, C-U will host an impromptu Tour de Fruit, departing from the space outside The Bike Project's U-C IMC shop at 6:30pm.  Details from an email announcement:

Join local bicycle riders and fruit lovers as we excursion through the area. We'll visit a variety of fruit trees, including pears, apples, paw paws, persimmons, plums, apricots, peaches, mulberries, cherries, and juneberries.  Each stop on the route will have time for activities and discussion, and will end with a delicious snack at the end. The purpose of the ride is to share knowledge of trees, identify native edibles, engage with the community, and talk about new ways of navigating our landscape.

The group ride will begin at the IMC Bike Project and end at La Casa, a co-op house where the residents are working on a permaculture food forest.  

3-4 mile ride. Bring a helmet and containers to collect fruit.

Here's a link to the blog entry announcing the Tour. And here, some pix of fruit from around town.
