April Ride: The Ride after the Spring Break Ride

Okay, is everyone ready for the April ride?
We're having the April ride on the 11th, and we'll be sticking to the second Friday of the month from now on.
This month will have the same route as last month. We'll probably not stop at the Food Bin, and in the future let's keep it to a dull roar while stopped at a business.

Last month was great. For this month, let's try to plan out after parties and potential post-ride destinations before the ride begins to cut down on confusion during the ride, and feel free to post ideas here on the site.


Hope to see everyone there.

March Ride: Spring Break

The March ride will be Friday, March 21st. We'll meet at 9:30pm at the clock tower, and we'll leave when the clock strikes 10!
This ride will have a planned route (including a few planned stops) which will be on the back of the spoke cards given out before the ride. Hopefully, this will help us stay together.
To ensure that we can keep riding every month, here's a couple of things to remember...
  1. Every pedestrian and motorist is a potential rider for next month, so try to remain relatively friendly. Once or twice, we've all been in a car for some reason.
  2. We have a right to the entire lane, but not the oncoming lane. Try and stay to the right.
  3. Corking an intersection is fun, but it's questionable. Let's keep it to a minimum. If you're significantly ahead of the group, don't cork until the group catches up.
  4. Remember that sometimes a red-light or stop sign is a great place to regroup. If you're leading the Mob, make sure we're not getting too stretched out. There's strength in numbers.
Alright, hope to see you there.

Leap Day Ride: A Huge Success

Hi everyone,
The ride on Leap Day was a blast. We had between 70 and 80 participants. We sped around downtown, swarmed the wharf, had a bicycle toss, and rode through the harbor!
We want to thank everyone for participating, and invite everyone to the next ride: March 21st.
