Birds, Bikes, & Brews combines three of our favorite things in one awesome event! Join us to BIKE around Lake Monona, BIRD as you go, and enjoy a cold BREW after your ride at Next Door Brewing Company!
**Plus, it's all for a great cause: proceeds from registrations and a $1 donation from BBB food and drink purchases go to Madison Audubon's conservation and education programs.**
Here are the details:
Join us at any time between 1-4 p.m. at Next Door Brewing Company
We'll give you a map and a checklist, and you'll head out on the Lake Monona Lake Loop to look for as many birds as you can find while on two wheels.*
We'll have several birding stations set up along the way, with helpful volunteers. You can stop, take a peek through a spotting scope, and learn something new.
When you're done birding and biking, the Lake Loop brings you right back to Next Door Brewing, where we'll have a cold one waiting for you!
*No pressure, no rush. Enjoy the ride, and know that birders of ALL skill levels are welcome. Even if you don't consider yourself a birder, we guarantee you'll have fun (and there's good beer involved).
