Let’s gather Thursday instead of Wednesday…
at San Leandro’s Irish Pub, Danny Murray’s
Let’s grab a spot in the patio if the weather is nice. This month’s social will be on Thursday, May 28. April-May have been busy travel and event months for some of us. Therefore, Happy Hour has been pushed out to this week. This is outside of the normal 3rd week of month. We look forward to a social with friends, Bike Walk San Leandro, Cherry City Cyclists, locals, bike enthusiast, pedestrian advocates, 5-7 pm and share stories.
Happy Hour is actually from 2-6 pm and I will there at 4 pm. You are welcome to arrive early too but some will still be working.
The bar can look daunting from the outside but it is a relaxed space with a friendly vibe inside. You may even bring your own food. COME and join us for a relaxed evening in the neighborhood even if you don’t eat or drink. Float in, leave early or late.
If you have a bike, you are welcome to park it in the patio.
Look for a Cherry City vest or jersey.
Hope to see you there!
