Social Cycling ATX presents: Monday Heavy Metal Fitness Ride - Southside ride!

In true Heavy Metal Fitness Ride fashion, the ride notice JUST went up. That means you've got 6 hours to fill your mp3 player with the hardest of jams, apply that corpsepaint, dig out your spiked gauntlet, and get ready to RIDE:

Hey Metal Heads. Sorry for the late notice but we are riding tonight at the regular time.

We are taking the South route.

Ride what brung ya. Road, mountain, bmx, cruzer, fixie, whatever. Metal Fitness is NOW 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.

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. Two weeks ago 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.

7pm on the Bridge is the time and place. Ride leaves PROMPTLY at 7:30pm, so don't be late. If you are... haul ass down Dawson like the devil was at your heels and MAYBE you'll catch them in time.

Maybe this would be a good opportunity to put my new road bike through its' paces, since they now have a B group that picks up any stragglers dropped by all y'all fast people. Broken wrist be damned.
