The Biker Grove group raised money for the Richmond Bar’s “Free Food Fridays” campaign with a charity cycling trek to Bang Saray.
Riders left the Soi Welcome bar in Jomtien Beach at 9 a.m. Feb. 10, with slower riders given a 10-minute head start. The “tortoises” surprised the “hares” by arriving at a destination coffee shop first.
Riders from around the globe shot the breeze over java before heading back, fighting a strong headwind all the while.
The next ride will be Feb. 14 and the Biker Grove organizers announced the opening of a coffee shop on Feb. 21 with free coffee on opening day along with a t-shirt giveaway.
