WAR #80 - The Wednesday (Urban) Assault Ride has a family reunion!

Hey folks, want to go on a REAL URBAN ASSAULT RIDE? Not one of those sanitized for your corporate consumerist consumption ones with rules, fees, "free" beer you paid $120 for, cheezy prizes, and all the other drudgery associated with it, but something actually akin to the original meaning of the phrase from before the time some beer company thought they owned it? If so then drop by Little Woody's on 6th this Sunday around 6pm and get in on the action:

Attendance to the WAR has been well, spotty at best. I know, I know - this is the pot calling the kettle black.

WAR 80. Eighty. That is three years of the WAR. Rain or shine, cold or f'ing hot.

But, you haven't been in a while. What, do you have a better group of bike riding/beer drinking friends? Are you too good for the WAR?

So, here we are at WAR 80. Let's celebrate by making this a Family Reunion. Attendance is required. Be there.

We will meet at Little Woodrow's - 6th and Nueces. Meet at 6pm for beers. We leave by 6:45 in order to get a nice ride in before we hit Blues on the Green. Big show this week with Dale Watson and Guy Forsyth. If you are hungry, there are some local food vendors at the show.

Then we will hit another mystery stop after the show.

MEET: Wed, 7/20 - 6pm - Little Woody's on 6th.

Attendance is mandatory - don't make me come after you.

Bring - lights locks and friends.

Why all the blather from me on the term "Urban Assault"? Feel free to read the backstory on this shit, but the short version is that the folks behind New Belgium's (wannabe) "Urban Assault Ride" sent a cease and desist to the local group, and apparently have threatened the Social Cycling ATX folks with something similar when they dared place the words "urban" and "assault" within the same vicinity as "ride" a while back. What a bunch of fucking pricks.

So yeah, enjoy the URBAN ASSAULT RIDE And if New Belgium or any other asshole associated with them tells you to stop doing what you're doing or using the words you're using, tell 'em to take a long Urban Assault Ride off a tall building while simultaneously consuming an entire bag of dicks. Yes, the WHOLE BAG.

URBAN ASSAULT 4 LYFE SUCKAS!
