Social Cycling ATX Presents: Thursday Night Social Ride - To the movies!

This week the Social Ride is gonna go meet up and be social with another group of bikers, namely the League of Bicycling Voters people out at the bike-in movie. Read on for the details, and try to be on the bridge ON TIME:

Hey everyone. Thursday night is almost upon us so let me fill everyone in on the details. This week is movie night on the Thursday Night Social Ride.

Where: We meet the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge.

When: 7:30pm. We are trying to leave a little before 8pm this week so don't be late.

What: We are biking to the Triangle. It's the shopping/condo building where Lamar meets Guadalupe. We're going to see the bike-in movie series to benefit the League of Bicycle Voters. This week they are showing Bottle Rocket outside on a nice grass lawn.

How we do this: We ride with trafffic. In other words, we stay in one lane, let cars pass and stop for all red lights. Please follow your designated ride leader's instructions. They are looking out for your safety.

What you need to bring: Helmets are a good idea, but that is up to you. You will need lights, a lock, and an ID if you plan to drink. A blanket to sit on while the movie plays is also a very good idea.

The movie series is a benefit for a really great local bicycle advocacy group called the League of Bicycle Voters (LOBV). The LOBV is a Texas non-profit agency that promotes safer cycling policies such as improved bicycle infrastructure making it easier for you and I to get around town. Admission for our group is FREE. However if you want to make the suggested $2 donation at the door, even better. Once inside, New Belgium brewing company is serving $3 beers, proceeds of which will be going to the LOBV... so drink up, watch a really funny movie and support cycling in Texas!

After the movie is over we are heading to The Ghost Room where the old Gingerman used to be. They'll have an iced down keg for us, cheap drink specials and a nice drink combo which consists of a shot of Jim Beam and a cold Pearl Beer for only $5!

In addition to all of the drink specials, The Ghost Room has booked a Texas music legend for our dancing pleasure. Erik Hokkanen will be entertaining us all evening so you fools better get ready to dance.

Remember we are trying to leave on time this week, so everyone try and be at the bridge a bit earlier than usual. Also, be watching your drinking on the bridge because the city is definitely keeping an eye on us. And a reminder that we will be moving the starting point for the ride very soon, so stay tuned for details.

See everyone at the bridge!

Free movie, live music, ice cold (and FREE) beer, and a whiskey deal that'll get you drunk. What better way to spend a Thursday night?
