The event kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with introductions and eating/drinking. The silent reading hour will run 7:30-8:30 p.m. Afterward, feel free to stick around for mingling or more reading.

The 2025 Maryland Cycling Classic, America’s biggest pro cycling race, will make history on Saturday, Sept. 6, with the debut of both men's and women's competitions together for the first time. Featuring teams of world class athletes, including Tour de France participants, National Champions, World Champions and Olympians from around the world, the third edition of the Maryland Cycling Classic will take riders on an exciting new 17.9-mile (28.8km) circuit course entirely in the City of Baltimore.

Unleash your imagination in this pressure-free writing workshop where the only rule is: just keep writing! We’ll start with a word or phrase, then free write for 5-10 minutes to see where inspiration takes us. It could evolve into a poem, a sketch idea, a stand-up bit, or something unexpected. This is a space to shake off writer’s block, explore and share new ideas, and let your creative juices flow.

Bring your favorite writing utensil, paper of your liking, and an open mind!
