The 6th Thursday Night Road Ride

Here's the 6th in a series of fast-paced urban rides, designed to get your blood pumping while not leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere, choking on a cloud of dust and testosterone if you're not as manly as the ride leader:

These rides are usually around 20 miles, give or take, so it's long enough that bibs or cycling shorts might be a good idea, but short enough that you can leave the chamois creme at home. I dig what Daniel's trying to do with these rides: bridging the gap between us hairy-legged (oftentimes that goes for both sexes) weirdo bikers and our strange events/cruises, and our smoother, leaner roadie brethren with their training rituals/roadie rides. I know oftentimes theres a lot of perceived (and occasionally actual) animosity between the various biker camps, but any event with the goal of bringing everybody together is hella cool in my book. 7pm this Thursday at Cafe Medici on West Lynn. Bring your fast bike and your lights!
