Social Cycling ATX presents: Thursday Night Social Ride - footdown and some G-shit!
Sorry folks, mad technical difficulties. This time they came in the form of two laptops OSes cratering within 8 hours of each other. One a total hard drive failure (yay lost shit!), the other I still have no idea what its beef was, besides not wanting to boot an OS for any reason. I think I'm back in the good though, so on with the show...
Tonight is gonna be a fun one. Keith posted all the details on facebook for the Social Ride, which will include a park stop, some foot down, and a final destination at a club with a rather storied history:
Hey everyone! This is a busy week for Social Cycling ATX. On Friday we are working the Kids Bike Rodeo http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=240918771103 as well as throwing a benefit for Mariel http://tinyurl.com/yzekpzh, but first we have to attend to the business of the Thursday Night Social Ride.
WHEN AND WHERE: We meet as usual on Thursdays at 7:30pm at The Scoot Inn (map: http://tinyurl.com/yabtpbq). We take off at 8 sharp!
WHAT: This week we are taking our usual ride around, with a short stop at a park, some fun, a game of footdown and some more riding. After we are done riding we are heading to a new club for our afterparty this week. Encore on Red River has invited the Social Ride this week for our traditional beering and specials. Encore is the former location of Spiros, but don't worry about any shootouts (google "Spiro's guns"), guns are getting checked at the door.
HOW: Social Cycling ATX rides as traffic, not against it. We stay in one lane and stop at red lights. Be nice to your fellow riders and other traffic on the road. Listen to your ride leaders. They are some nice folks.
YOU NEED: LIGHTS!, a lock, and an ID and tip money for the afterparty. A helmet is ALWAYS a good idea, but I will leave that up to you. You are responsible for your own safety on the Social Ride.
See everyone at the Scoot!
That's right social riders, we're hitting SPIRO'S after the ride. I don't give a fuck that they're calling it Encore. I worked next to the club for years and had to endure their shitty music and surly crowd on the daily, so to me it is and will always be Spiro's. Throw on your Sean Johns, FUBU, Ecko, Timberlands, and that big puffy jacket under which you stash your shit and roll deep with the Thursday Night Social Ride!
Just make sure to leave the guns at home, as according to Keith they'll be checking them at the door. Real Gs throw fists, not bullets. 7:30pm @ The Scoot. Be there.
for the *#$#tard that stole my wheel. i give you all full rights to throw down on that kid if he shows up with one fixed purple tire on the back full of spoke cards.
that's MINE. u-lock that @#$@ and his bike and tell jason to call me asap.
