It's that time of the semester when, sometimes, the best group meeting is to just up and go out for coffee. ☕️🧋

There's something about biking that just gets the geographers to come out of the woodwork (looking at you @AlbrightLCB & @sbkelley_55) Are your geographers like this too? #Geography #BikeLife
UNR Bicycle Working Group@UNRBikes16 Jun 2023
Pretty quiet on campus this week so we were a small but mighty group to #SpinSparks and enjoy some nice food/refreshment afterwards in Victorian Square. Thanks @cityofsparks for the nice places to ride and enjoy!
