# Event Details

- **Event Name**: European Friendship Ride
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Kolo Sokol bike group will co-host a 32-mile bike ride with the Alliance Française Minneapolis/St. Paul and the Germanic-American Institute in St. Paul. May 9 is recognized as Europe Day by the European Union as a day to celebrate the shared values and peaceful cooperation that unites the nations of Europe. This event is open to members and friends of all European American organizations in the area. The ride will be an opportunity to meet people and briefly visit the three host organization locations.

We will start at Sokol’s CSPS Hall in St Paul, ride up the river to the Alliance Française Joly Family Center for International Understanding in Minneapolis, then head back down the other side of the river to the Germanic-American Institute house on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. Finally, we will end up back at the Sokol hall. The route is almost all on bike trails or marked bike lanes and offers beautiful views of the Mississippi River and Minnehaha Falls.

Depending on the number of participants, riders may not be together as a single group and there will not be route monitors or marshals on the route. However, riders will have maps and route information and a phone number to call or text with route questions.

Departing from Sokol shortly after 10:00am, the following windows of time are planned for each location:

Alliance Française                          Noon to 1:00pm
Germanic American Institute         2:00pm to 3:30pm
Czech and Slovak Sokol                 2:30pm to 4:00pm
Water and snacks will be provided at each stop, along with an opportunity to learn a little about the organization.
