Ride to Kick-off Party on Calendar (?)

Noticed on the Ride Calendar a "Ride to Kickoff Party" tonight meeting at the "Fred Rogers Memorial on the Southside." I clicked the map link and it came up with some memorial in Southside, TN. Now, i'm all for challenging myself on the bike, but you'd have to really be cooking to make it from Tennessee to the party in one hour.


So, does the ride meet somewhere else on the southside? I'm aware of a Mr. Rogers memorial on the North Side?

Hmm.. when I saw the event originally, I guess I didnt read it that well and assumed the northside as well. I dont know of any fred rogers memorial on southside.

NO NO NO!!!


The "Fred Rogers " Memorial is on the Northside by the Steelers Stadium towards the river (south)...

Yeah.. Everyone knows that fred is on the north side.. the question is where does the ride start... since the event does clearly say southside.
