It came from the Thursday Night Casual Ride

Dfunk's picture

It's back! No drops! No experience necessary! No gender necessary! Bring your lights and a smile for a chill ride about town. Maybe a short sprint or two with a regroup shortly thereafter if people get antsy. Stops for photographic documentation whenever requested. Maybe eats and beers for afters? (Thinking Man and Brick Store are sounding good to me right now.) Maybe kick it Eastside style this time? Maybe head up to ABG like Jase originally planned for Sunday? Perhaps a visit to the long-neglected Corkscrew or plumbing the depths of Vulcan's Furnace? (I still want to plan an alleycat that involves some scavenger hunting down there one day.) I'm not stressed. Let's just ride and have fun.

So who's in for this ride? Up? Down? Around? Me, I'm all about this ride. Choose your preposition and rock those pedals!

I love the eastside

I'm totally down for this. More of last night type riding would be a good thing after all the racing that's been going down.

Don't forget!!

Come on out tonight for a cruise through town. I'll be headed from decatur to Johnny's a little after 4 to schmooze owners about a gig. Call or text if you wanna meet up along the way. Number's in the profile.

joining up late

I've gotta take a stupid online quiz at 7. I have no idea how long it's going to take, I'd estimate 30 minutes or less. I'll give you a call when it's over and maybe I can join the ride in progress? I'll be on Georgia Tech campus, so maybe you could modify the route so you'll be approaching midtown or somewhere thereabouts around 7:30 or 7:40 (if you didn't already have another route in mind, that is)?

Thanks everybody!

Thanks to Johnathon, Jenny, Pamela, Steve, Sean, Ben and Brett for the delightful company on a delightful ride. We cruised the east side tonight. Old 4th Ward, Little 5, Edgewood, Kirkwood, Oakhurst, downtown Decatur, a sprint down college, back into Kirkwood and then up into Lake Claire/Candler park for tasty frozen treats at Doctor Bombay's. (Mmm, home made coconut ice cream...) A delightful time was had by all.

Thank you all for reminding me just how out of shape I am. :-P I'm gonna see if I can shave a few minutes off my commute time in an effort to not have a stitch in my side at the ends of these sprint things. Ouch!

heh heh,

...and you wanted an easy ride.

Dfunk's picture

I did. Everybody else

I did. Everybody else wanted to go fast. Can you believe that the ride itself was maybe a third of my total riding today? It's been a long time since I rode that much on a weekday/night. Felt good.

Johnathon's picture

That's what you get for

That's what you get for teaching at Shamrock! Ya feelin' good though, èh? Then I say it was a ride well pedaled. Thanks for organizing it.
