5. Tour of Flanders, The Brass Door, Sunday, 7:30 a.m., no cover

Tour of Flanders, The Brass Door, Memphis

Come watch the annual Tour of Flanders bicycle race with the crew from Victory Bicycle Studio at the Brass Door on Sunday morning. Don't let the early start time deter you - there will be Belgian waffles, beer specials, "sweet European bikes" and door prizes from Victory.

If none of these events are your thing, there are a ton more on the blog's calendar. There's also a bonus 6th Thing to Do on the I Love Memphis Tumblr.  No matter what you do this weekend, I hope you have a blast.
