- Duke City Pedaler: Sunday Brunch Ride
Duke City Pedaler’s Sunday Brunch Ride was so popular they decided to bring it back for another year! Meet up downtown and hop on the pedaler then head out with the group to have brunch at The Boiler Monkey Bistro. After you’ve gotten your fill of crepes or biscuits and gravy, begin the leisurely ride to the Railyards Markets to check out hundreds of New Mexico’s finest food, farm, artisan and healing vendors. Once you’ve shopped all you can, pedal your way to a local brewery/taproom of your group’s choosing.
- Colibri Flight Academy
If learning to fly a drone has been on your list of things to do, this Saturday is your opportunity! Each attendee will be given a micro-drone to take home and work with during the class. This class is three hours long and will cover setting up the drone and it’s remote, remote controller flight instruction and overview of maintenance and safety precautions. Plus, practice flying your new drone in the wide-open space of the Balloon Museum’s east lawn!
