The Return of The Monday Night Heavy Metal Fitness Ride and Free Beer Quaff

In Beer, Local, Local Rides, Training on April 9, 2010 at 11:55 pm

Through the mists of time… as darkness descends… the madness resumes…

Monday approacheth…

That’s right boys and girls. It’s the return of The Monday Night Heavy Metal Fitness Ride and Free Beer Quaff!

Here’s how it works…

This season we’ll be running two classes of riders. A and B class you ask? Fuck that. It’ll be Slayer class and Melvin class. Speed metal or dirge metal. You decide.

The ride departs the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge this Monday at 7:30 pm. Sharp. Expect a reasonably fast pace, covering 24 miles on an urban route in the dark. After, we’ll visit the Jackalope and enjoy free beer, heavy metal madness, half-priced pizza and happy hour ($2.00 wells) all damn night.

Ride what brung ya. Road, touring, mountain, bmx, cruzer, fixie, whatever. Metal Fitness is an equal opportunity ride and not limited to roadies.

You’ll need to bring water, lights, tube changing necessities, a lock, your id and *TIP MONEY* if you’re drinking. You might even check the route map. I wear a helmet and recommend you do too as the ride is fast and in the dark. No banging your head during the ride.

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

Lowballers Cycling Club Old Man Ride

In Beer, Local, Local Rides, Mixed Terrain, Rides, Single Speed on April 6, 2010 at 9:32 pm

Old?

Really old?

Like over 40 old?

Ride a single speed bike?

Enjoy overly competitive bowling mid-ride and continuing the last half of said ride half drunk, on dirt trails, with a belly stuffed full of burgers and beer?

Well then, I have the ride for you..

Did I mention bacon wrapped hot dogs?

The Old Man Ride will depart from the Weatherford trail head of the Lake Mineral Wells State Trailway mid-morning of May 15th (exact time forthcoming) and ride 22 miles via one of the states finest rail trails to Mineral Wells to enjoy bowling at The Mountaineer Lanes, burgers and beer at Woody’s finishing with a nice leisurely ride back to Weatherford. You must be over 40 and ride a single speed to attend.

If You Ain’t Ready… Get Ready!
