Fun Holiday – Go For a Ride Day

While the origins of this made-up holiday are unknown, we can safely assume that it encourages people to get out of the house and take a ride. Go For a Ride Day is the perfect excuse to explore parts of your neighborhood and town that you have never seen before or to take a long, aimless road trip across the state or country.

How to Celebrate?

• Gather your friends and family members and take a ride out of the city to the countryside. Pack a picnic lunch along and commune with nature.
• Participate in a bike or car rally or race.
• Take a ride in your car to the nearest amusement park and spend the day enjoying some amusement rides.
• Don't own a vehicle? Don't worry, take a ride in your local public transport.
