Wednesday (urban) Assault Ride XXX: F-U-T B-O-L FUTBOL FUTBOL FUTBOL!!!

The fine gents of the local Wednesday (urban) Assault Ride of Fine Austin Locales and Drinking Establishments (title embellishment added by yours truly) sets sail again a week from yesterday. This ride is their 30th iteration of the WAR, but instead of taking the opportunity to lead their XXX ride on a spirited tour of local strip clubs, instead they took the high road and decided that the theme would be that great American sport of handegg, er, I mean football. Whatever, can you tell I'm not a sportsman? Even if you don't like watching sweaty grown men in tights play grab-ass in front of thousands of adoring spectators, the bike riding, beer and chillness of the crowd more than make up for it:

Two things to celebrate this week. One, the WAR turns the big 3-0. Unfortunately, I can say I know how that feels. Even more unfortunately, I've still got a few on the WAR.

Next and more importantly, it is finally Football Season. Seriously, are the summers getting longer and with fewer sports worth watching? Football Season, I've missed you.

Big year for the boys in Burnt Orange. We have a lot to prove. #2 Ranking out of the gate. We're #1 - we'll prove it. Another #2 ranking for Colt as a Heisman contender. The only thing second place about Colt is the #2 he is going to take on Tim Tebow's face. 2 is also Tim's IQ - just ask Jesus.

So, the 2nd Annual WAR Football Kick Off is ON. Wear your Burnt Orange and welcome in the season.

Meet - Wed 8/26 - 6:15p at Posse East for some beer and burgers college style. Ride departs at 7:15pm - sharp! We will welcome in the season with a loop around DKR Memorial Stadium.

Then we will move over to Creekside owner Kasey's new venture - the Iron Gate. Kasey has promised a drink special for all WAR riders. Be careful of his 'specials'. I once did a shot of Crawfish Boil and Vodka with him. Just like last year, we are going to relive the 4th Quarter of the 2005 National Championship. Then we will mosey over to the legendary Scholz Beer Garten and finish up at The Crown & Anchor.

Bring a light, lock and a friend. Wear orange and get your Horns up. It's time to Hook 'Em.

As the description says the ride meets at Posse East for grub around 6:15pm, and rolls out an hour later. If you're not hungry show up sometime in-between. With bars like Iron Gate, Scholz Beer Garten and the Crown & Anchor on the itinerary, this should be an excellent ride, handegg fan or no.

P.S. Looks like the WAR guys got some recognition in that New York Magazine article. Nice going y'all!
