The ride will be about 45 minutes to an hour and we'll have a shorter course for those who need it. We'll meet back up at Tsunami for a happy hour with Campari cocktails at 5pm.

Service industry professionals ride to raise money for pancreatic cancer. If you’ve ever touched the spirits and cocktail industry, you’ve met Chris Patino. He’s been a fixture of the industry for over 20 years. But it hasn’t been time in the industry that’s made him known - it’s been his heart. Chris has always loved meeting new people. Helping people get a leg up. Educating new bartenders. Or giving tours of his adopted home - his beloved New Orleans. He has brightened the lives of many friends and colleagues in his career spreading the love from California to New Orleans to New York and nearly everywhere else on the globe. While Chris has been there for hundreds of people around the world, his most important job, has been devoted husband to his brilliant wife Heather and father to his three beautiful children. Chris was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer- Mixed Acinar - Neuroendocrine Carcinoma. We are asking participants in this ride to help raise money for Chris or a pancreatic cancer foundation. https://www.gofundme.com/f/patinostrong and https://www.pancan.org A special thank you to Campari USA for supporting this years ride.
