    If conditions include dry ice-free pavement and north of frigid temperatures, we'll go for it. 

    Just in case - hold the date and plan to be at the back of Bike Newport at 5pm. 

    Sunset is 5:30pm Moonrise is 6:03pm - we'll choose how far south we go at that time. Here's hoping we ride together for the Snow Moon! 

    Keep your eye on all social media @bikenewprortri for updates. 

    And remember to thank AARP Rhode Island for sponsoring our Full Moon Rides!
