Social Cycling ATX presents: Monday Heavy Metal Fitness Ride - RUN (back) TO THE HILLS!

Get fast, get hard, get HEAVY METAL:

Prepareth thyself for the pain, suffering and free beer quaffing of the Monday Night Heavy Metal Fitness Ride!

WHERE AND WHEN:
Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge (next to Lamar Bridge). Meet at 7pm, make sure your bike is in good working order, shoot the shit with your fellow riders, stretch, smoke em if ya got em, then get ready to leave at 7:30pm SHARP!

WHAT:
Expect a reasonably fast pace, covering 20 – 25 miles on an urban route in the DARKNESS. We will be running two groups. SLAYER group for you fast folks and DIO class for the mere mortals.

After, it’s to the Jackalope (http://www.jackalopebar.com/) to enjoy free beer, HEAVY METAL music, 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.

HOW:
Last time I heard, you’re mother won’t be attending, so you’ll need to bring water, LIGHTS!!! (seriously and not those weak little blinky ones either), tube changing necessities, a lock, your id and TIP MONEY if you’re drinking.

Most of us wear helmets 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. Remember. Head injuries slow rides. And you don’t want to slow down a Heavy Metal Fitness ride. Now do you?

ROAD RULES:
This is a fast ride, but still a Social Cycling ATX ride. STOP AT RED LIGHTS and always yield to cars who have the right of way.

***Study the route or be doomed to wander West Austin til the end of time.

Clif, you used the words "DIO" and "mere mortal" in the same sentence? BLASPHEMY! With all the sludge, doom, and stoner metal bands out there, I know you can do better. Lets call them the "SLAYER" and "The Sword" classes or something, but don't go after the man that gave us the metal salute!
