Adventure Storytelling Series #6 - Trails
May
27

Adventure Storytelling Series #6 - Trails

This collaborative community event is co-hosted by Roadrunner Bicycles, Campfire Cycling, Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists (SDMB), Climbing in Color (CIC), and more participating local non-profits.

The Sonoran Desert and greater Arizona are beautiful, rugged, and culturally diverse landscapes. Stories emerge from every saguaro, lie in every wash, under every rock and around every corner.

Come join us on May 27th at 6:00 PM at Borderlands Brewing, 119 E Toole Ave. Tucson, AZ 85701 and listen to storytellers from local non-profits spin epic yarns of their experiences exploring, discovering, and navigating this incredible landscape.

The event is $5 and all proceeds will go to the non-profits participating in the event.

See below for the list of participating non-profits:

Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to the promotion of the sport of mountain bicycling, and view the sport as a vehicle to promote low impact outdoor recreation, conservation, and mountain bicycling opportunities that are environmentally and socially responsible. SDMB is dedicated to protecting and enhancing mountain bicycling opportunities through intersectional programing.

Climbing in Color's mission is to elevate the voices of climbers of color and build a community of camaraderie and support. We are currently based in Tucson, Arizona, but our expansive Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) climbing community extends well beyond this region.

Bicycle Inter Community Art and Salvage (BICAS) is a worker self-directed nonprofit 501(c)(3) bicycle center located just north of downtown Tucson. Relying largely on generous donations from our community, and responsible stewardship of those donations, BICAS is able to provide a variety of programs to learn how to fix a bicycle, earn a bicycle, create unique art from recycled materials, and provide programs specifically targeted towards youth. We believe in bicycles and other human-powered machines as essential vehicles for transportation justice, and we are always striving to make them more accessible to our community. We are an education center, not a traditional bike shop.

Tucson Bird Alliance inspires people to enjoy and protect birds through recreation, education, conservation, and restoration of the environment upon which we all depend.

And more to come!...

This event's theme is "Trails." Adventures near and far always begin by taking one step after the other.

The event is also meant to bring awareness to the unfortunate eviction notice of Borderlands Brewing from the historic and current location.

Join us for a happy hour from 6-7PM

Stories will start at 7PM on the patio.

This is an all-ages event although alcohol may be present.

The event is capped at 120 people so register today!
