    Join us on Saturday, April 25th at 8:00 AM for a special Earth Day edition of Ride the Rio. This month, our community stewardship cruise will serve as the official kickoff to the AZ(LAND) Tierra Madre Earth Day Celebration!
    
    The Route: We will meet at the Tempe Center for the Arts pedestrian bridge at 8:00 AM and enjoy a relaxed, scenic group ride down to the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area (Central Ave). It is about a 1-hour ride each way, arriving just in time for the festival gates to open at 9:00 AM.
    
    The Destination: The ride ends right at the Tierra Madre Earth Day celebration! After we ride, stick around to enjoy:
    🍉 Complimentary food and refreshments
    🛍️ Mercado Tonalli (local vendors, artists, and handcrafted goods)
    🎭 Teatrico AZ(LAND) live performances and workshops
    🌿 The City Nature Challenge
    
    The Return Ride: We will hang out, eat, and enjoy the festival together for a few hours. For those who want to ride back as a group, we will do a casual, mass-exodus ride back to Tempe Town Lake at 11:30 AM (about a 1-hour ride). However, you are completely free to stay at the festival as long as you'd like and head back on your own schedule!
    
    This is not a race—it's a joyful, intergenerational cruise to reconnect with Onk Akimel (the Salt River) and our community. Bring your bike, some water, a friend, and a backpack if you plan to shop the local vendor market!
    
    Let’s ride together and celebrate our shared home. Learn more about our ongoing mission at protectorsofthesaltriver.com
