Join us for our seasonal pilgrimage from Kent. Meet at Kent Cycle for free Bent Tree coffee before we set off on an 11-mile ride along the Freedom Trail, following the Cuyahoga River to Rock Mill. We’ll climb a bit (free day passes for all who ride) and then ride back to Kent together around 1 PM to hydrate with $1-off beers at North Water Brewing.

Rock Mill Beta Night

Ever wondered about the wild maps around the gym? Ruff Guide Maps, created by longtime Rock Mill member Jeff Bonatti, grew from his early days adventuring—before gyms, apps, or guidebooks were on the scene.

Jeff will be sharing his stories on Thursday, May 22 at our next Beta Night. Join us at 6 for Happy Hour and 6:30 for Story Hour! He’ll dive into how creating Ruff Guide Maps and exploring NEO’s wilderness has fueled his commitment to conservation—and how you can be an unofficial ambassador for outdoor recreation.

June 23 – 27 | 9:30 AM –11:30 AM
