Social Cycling ATX presents: Monday Heavy Metal Fitness Ride

Another Monday, another Heavy Metal Fitness Ride:

The Heavy Metal Fitness Ride departs the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge, Monday’s at 7:30 pm. SHARP. Expect a reasonably fast pace, covering 20 – 25 miles on an urban route in the dark. Afterwards, it’s to the Jackalope to enjoy free beer, heavy metal madness, half-priced pizza and happy hour ($2.00 wells) all damn night.

Ride what brung ya. Road, mountain, bmx, cruzer, fixie, whatever. Metal Fitness is an equal opportunity ride and not limited to roadies.

Last time I heard, you’re mother won’t be attending, so you’ll need to bring water, LIGHTS, tube changing necessities, a lock, your id and TIP MONEY if you’re drinking. You might even check the route map: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Timaeus-Heavy-Metal-Fitness-Route

SPECIAL SAFETY NOTE:
I wear a helmet as the ride is fast, urban and in the dark. Yes, it’s a Heavy Metal ride but we rather you didn’t bang your head. Last week there was a rider whose melon is still in one piece because he was wearing a helmet. He is a good rider, just a victim of circumstance, darkness and speed. His helmet was cracked, but his brain is ok due to the fact he was protected. So for the time being, I will leave it up to you Metal Heads to make that decision for yourselves. You all will be aware of and assume the personal risk of riding fast and in the dark. If you choose not to wear a helmet that is your decision and responsibility.

Looking forward to seeing you Metal Heads at the bridge!

Get to the bridge around 7pm to catch your breath before the ride, as these cats are serious business about their 7:30pm start time.

I need some coffee.
