STAY CLASSY CRUISE
MARCH 2022
Time for some elegance, refinement, and high standards. Let's listen to jazzy tunes and enjoy the budding springtime vibes.
Dare you bring a tea set and some cake to the ride? Might you consider a champagne flute? Or perhaps something as simple as offering the rider beside you to kindly pass through the intersection first, "After you, dear friend!"
As Ron Burgundy would say, "Stay classy, San Diego."

"PERFECT EXCUSE" RIDE
JUNE 2022
Wear that item you never have an excuse to wear. Maybe it still has tags on it. Maybe it's too fancy, too revealing, too wild, too (fill in the blank!).
