Magic Mondays was a popular weekly Monday night community ride which traversed Coral Gables, South Miami, and Coconut Grove. It's been on hiatus since the summer of 2016 and is back for this one night only! On this special ride we'll explore the holiday lights and decor around town. Feel free to bring festive lights and Santa hats. The forecast says it will be a chilly 60º so dress accordingly.
