Riders will meet in the Kaufman parking lot at 10:30 am, where they will\u00a0depart in small groups (organized by riding ability) to the College Farm. Vans will accompany the riders and carry everyone&#8217;s potluck dishes, as well as first aid supplies in case of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>As any past participant will attest, the Bike to Farm is an incredibly enjoyable day of riding, picnicking, and\u00a0playing lawn games in the barn yard. Faculty, staff, and student riders of all backgrounds are invited to participate in this event hosted by CSE, the Handlebar, and the College Farm. <strong>Pre-registration is required<\/strong> and can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/dickinson.edu\/biketofarm\">dickinson.edu\/biketofarm<\/a>.
