You are hereHOLY SHIT! AWESOME!
HOLY SHIT! AWESOME!
I'm gonna keep this one quick because it's that time of night and I need to get up early, but this evening's ride was AWESOME! There were a plethora of amazing things that happened on the route including a stop at the AFD's fire tower,an impromptu game of Bike Polo, an arrest of a guy who was REALLY asking for it (DO NOT run a red right in front of a cop), a real deal East Side ride, stopping at Future Park, FIREWORKS, getting thrown off-course on North Loop (who said to turn north?), HAVOC on 2222, a car clipping a cyclist, blowing through the rest of the crowd and then getting stopped by the cops (anyone have the resolution to that? Let me know), free Keebler snacks at a closed HEB from the guy driving the truck, and finally we split from the group and headed north as everyone else headed to the Capitol. That was the longest run-on sentence ever and I'm not going to change it. I had a great time tonight, as did many of the HUGE ASS crowd that attended the ride. It got a bit chaotic there at the end, but that's how it goes when we don't have Damon at the helm. Until someone steps up to really take charge expect more wild times. DougMC was on the ride so expect pictures here in the next few hours.
Update: Doug's pics are up, including this one of a working tandem tall bike. Crazy!
Speaking of Doug's pictures, he went on the inaugural voyage of the Heavy Metal Fitness Ride, so check out his gallery from that event. Looks like a good time with stops at many of the usual haunts.
Well, no wonder I made it home so early. I must have zigged instead of zagged. I was among a large group who continued bombing down Lamar until we crossed the river and done.
