Roots and Wings Community Bike Ride with Marshall Middle School!

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Join the Dr. General Marshall Middle School students, staff and families for a Community Roots and Wings Bike Ride to enjoy Austin's bike-friendly trails and lanes in a supportive environment!

We will have a pre-ride ceremonial planting of herbs in one of our new raised bed gardens, then we will ride out together to Ghisallo's “Trick or Treat on the Trail” event.

Along the way we will provide native wildflower seeds to “seed bomb" our path.

Costumes representing your favorite root or wing organism is highly encouraged (fungi, pecan tree, hummingbirds, monarch, bumblebee riders unite!)

We will return back to Marshall to enjoy refreshments inspired by herbs and plants from local gardens!
