Tucked away on Lippincott Street, this no-frills, hidden gem has built a cult following thanks to its bold flavors, generous portions, and unbeatable prices. The wings are grilled to perfection—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—and often tossed in a variety of house-made sauces that keep folks coming back." We'll have the option to eat the wings onsite or ride to nearby Norris Square to enjoy a picnic in the park.

Speed and distance will also depend on the riders in our group. Please bring lights in case we are delayed on our return.

Cue sheets will not be available.
