Club Ride February 5th - Megan's Birthday!!!

January's ride was awesome, one of the best turnouts yet. Glad to see a lot of familiar faces, and a few new ones.
February's ride is a few days away, here's details:

Meet up at the Princeton Pub, 7:30 PM, Saturday February 5th (on Powell st @ Victoria Drive)

Ride @ 8-8:30 to The Red Gate (we'll take the scenic route if weather permits) for Red Sprint! (head to head roller racing)
Live Music @ red gate 10pm till late: Datura, No L.A. Kill, the Receptionists and Hari Legs.
Cover charge @ the Red Gate is $5 - that's for roller racing and 4 bands, what a Bargain!

It's Megan's Birthday and her band is playing, so don't forget to buy her a beer and reminder that age ain't nothin but a numba! (a big number in her case). It's also a rare occasion to heckle the Heckler, so don't miss out.


thanks to Super Champion and Dream Cycle for sponsoring the evening. See you all Saturday!

New Year's Club Ride and Chapter update

have changed the night of our monthly club rides to the first Saturday of every month, hopefully we will see more out-of-towners with this change. That said, for January we have postponed the ride until January 8th, due to most of our members being out of town for New Years Eve. We will meet up at megan's house @ 7ish with destination TBA. As always, tall bikes and choppers are encouraged, not mandatory. Any inquiries can be directed to Shu.

other club updates (mostly old news):

Arlin is officially a full color member now, congrats to our newest convert, it great to have some new blood in the club. And thanks for putting together the Winter Solstice ride - it was mad fun, and friggin cold! We were all hoping to see the lunar eclipse, but alas, the curse of the northwest prevented it.

Arlo's better half, Caitlin, is our new(ish) prosect. It's great to have her on board. We're all glad for her infusion of style - she's just what we needed to liven things up!

And our newest propsect, Scotty, just got his rockers in December. We're stoked to have him riding with us. The last time I hung out with him, he was slaying it @ the tallbike joust this summer. Definitely Dead Baby material. Just watch out when he gets the roman candles out! Can't wait to see what kind of bike he curates for his club whip.

Upcoming Events:
Valentine's Massacre : the 17th annual Vancouver courier trophy race.
Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 3:00pm - Crab Park

More info about this weekend-long event available from Megan.

Tallbike Jousting!!

Donnie has been thoughtful enough to get some tallbike jousting going, so we're adding it to the Tooniecat race. Immediately following the race, we will have tallbikes and jousting lances for any adventurous souls to wield. Bring a helmet, and don't blame anyone but yerself if something gets broken. Jousting Champion will get mad props, a few bruises, and a very special prize.
