yeah, so, it didnt work the first time. maybe no one HEARD that there is more food than riding. More drink than pedal. More relaxing than huff puffing. Well, here it is, again: The Happy Yum Yum Ride. We gotta pick a date that people can make, and really, let us know, and if we remotely like you, we’ll take your preference into a-count. Heard? Herd. Yeah Ya yea.

The Happy Yum Yum Ride will start at 5 East 7th street, where you will indulge in coffee, tea, hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps, whiskey on the rocks, (AC/DC?) cocaine…we’re gunna roll outta here, like pedal to the metal, at like…. 9.30…that’s AM, slacker. Um we’re gunna ride some, a little bit, go up some hills (not really. Ed) We’re gunna pass a cow maybe, probally a cow in a barn, cause it’s cold. Maybe you need to wear your booties, maybe you don’t have any booties. There is a secret stop. We’re gunna eat like italians with the walkersvillians, we’re gunna eat like the walkersvillians like the italians with the walkersvillians. Sorry. (huh? Ed) Uhm. Then we’re gunna come back and that’s two yums. Yay!

Details: no dirt (mel said, and i quote: there will be a cough of dirt), sub 30 miles. There is a spoke card that Mel handcrafted with sharpies. You will get one. She will sign it for 3 dollars. Bring: something. (tasty. Ed) For example: peppermint patties. When? Oh you want real details! Well, there are some days availible: here they are. Jan 25, Jan 18, um, Feb 1st. Who is down? When is who down? Comment it up.

THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THE TINY ISLAND RIDE. This is a different event. The Tiny Island Joint is gunna roll later, but not much later. Feb some time.

veteran’s day east county ramble

john g of empathytest is holding/hosting/having a road ride next tuesday. knowing john, it will be scenic and back roadsy, slow enough to leave the skin suit at home, fast enough to not be bored. for those that dont know about john’s project (unrelated to this ride) he is riding all of the roads in frederick county. All of them. even the boring ones. his journey is almost over, and is chronicaled here. he is a good writer, and humble as bean pie, so check it out.

here is a link to his project, called fixing frederick, and below is his upcoming ride’s sales pitch:

If you have Veteran’s Day off, come on out:

Veteran’s Day East County Ramble
Sponsored by the Single Speed Outlaw Factory Team and The Bicycle Escape
Ride Leader: John Gorham, Single Speed Outlaw Team Member
Location: Libertytown Park, Libertytown, MD on MD 26 East, 1/3 mile past MD 75
Date: November 11, 2008 at 10 am
Ride Level: Casual pace on paved and gravel roads. Rolling terrain. <30 Miles. Rain or Shine.
Description: Come on out and catch the last of the fall foliage in the rolling countryside of eastern Frederick County. This weekday ride will be mostly on low traffic roads, linking together some of the most scenic gravel roads in the county. A few of the hills can be a challenge, but we’ll take it easy and regroup frequently so no one will be dropped.
