How about keeping the "real" Friday ride going this Friday?

Post by Claire »

Since this Friday is a holiday, I'm imaging some people will want to do silly things like sleep in and/or spend the entire day not riding bikes. But that would be - well - silly.

Besides, sleeping in is overrated when it comes to bike rides (more traffic, for starters, but there's also a missed opportunity to see the sun rise from the comfort of a bike saddle mid-ride) and keeping with a 6am departure will ensure those who want to hang out with their families will have the bulk of the day available to do so.

How many holiday rides does one weekend need, anyway?

Hi Claire;

FTR, when a stat holiday falls on a Friday the official Tripleshot ride is the regular Friday ride.

Paul's ride is great and a nice way to show support for an important member of our cycling community. Check out the facebook event:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1303188589729848/

click "going" and then make sure you are registered as an organ donor.

See you there!

Ah, well that's good news indeed. Also exciting is that I'll be able to join for and all too rare post-effort coffee.

This calls for cookie creation. And covert pre-ride cookie drop.
