Ride Lugged

yo yo yogurt and mc stammer are hosting the first and last 24 hours big bear mtn biking ‘training’ ride in patapsco valley state park, avalon area, this saturday, from 9 am to sunset.  there will be:  four rides of about 10-8 miles each, fishing, grilling, (can we eat the fish?) beer drinking (its legal within the shelter), and perhaps, scat playing.  thats a card game not a scatological reference.  bring yo dimes.  who’s invited?  not you!  oh, no wait.  pretty much anyone who wants to try to ride fairly fast, and participate in above activities.  its a training thing sure, but others are more than welcome, joe, john, mark, ect.  whoever.  if we dont know you, but you wanna come, thats cool too.  Bring a six pack though, and a snack or 3.  No moochers.

Details:  I have reserved a shelter, shelter #1.  Ok where is that?  Here is a shitty map that might help.   In other words: if you are only bringing beer and some grub, park at the avalon park and ride, strap on a messenger bag, and ride down into the park.  take the road downstream toward the river.  Cross under the railroad bridge and turn left.  Go a few hundred yards, the shelter will be on the right, somewheres.  We’ll try to get there earlier than you.  If you are driving because you need to bring a special 17 cup holder folding chair designed for the beaches of Georgia, former satelite country of the USSR, then come in from route one, and follow the map.  That dash across the river doesnt mean the road is out, it just means there’s a bridge.  Go figure.

Time:  we’ll be there when the park opens, at 9am.  lets try to be out on the trails no later than 10.  Dont be late, or you wont know where the hell we are.

What to brang:  a bike, perferably a singlespeed.  why?  because thats what we’ll be riding, and we dont want you to have an advantage.  Why?  we’re mean.

Food:  a gallon of water for yourself.  A cooler if you want to keep it and your beer cold.   We’ll have a few coolers.  Will we have enough for you too?  Dont know.  I shelled out 20 bucks for the shelter, so I’m gunna bring my own beer and some hamburger buns, ketchup and mustard.  Someone else brings the meat, and charcoal.  Sign up also for: chips and salsa, and something for dinner.  Like what?  How about… Pasta salad with chicken?  then we dont have to cook it.  Or figure out something better.  Also good: grilled wings.  Sign up in the comments section suckas.
