HALLOWEEN!

Costume Cruiser Ride following the Kids parade this Saturday. We'll meet at Roosevelt Park at around 12pm. The parade begins at 10am so 2 hours should be plenty of time to get through the parade and over to Roosevelt Park. I hope you can join us. Our route will take us through Old Town down to the St. Vrain Greenway and then back to Main Street through the East Side.

SHould be fun and hopefully the snow will melt by then!


Moi-ahhhh hhhahh ah.

We will start at 6:30 PM and ride through the West Side to Sunset Pool, back east, ending at 6th and Main. A post party will be held afterward. I will post the location this evening.

See you tomorrow

Rain out

Mother nature has blessed us with yet another night of rain. We'll meet next week same time and same place.

Pretty Quiet in the inter-web

Sorry for the delay in updating the blog. I've been kinda busy. I have a quick update. Tonight was a great night. We had as many as 40 folks tonight. That makes probably three weeks in a row with more than 30 people. Unheard of. Seriously. A year ago if there were 10 people we were pretty satisfied. IT's been a lot of fun getting to know the new riders and seeing the veteran riders out and about. Dave Fox and I were reminiscing tonight about the first couple years of BIke Night. This year doesn't even compare.

So if you haven't been to Bike Night in a while (years) then come on out next week. It's a lot of fun and there are a lot of interesting people too.

Take Care -

Wednesday - June 24th - Bike to Work Day

Hey All,

Great showing last week. Lets do it again this weeks. Our route will be Roosevelt Park to the St. Vrain Greenway to the Lefthand Greenway to Sunset Street and north to the Dales Brewery at Pike and Sunset. This ride will be great as most of it will be on trails not roads.

Next week we'll return to Old Town and the usual route. If you've been on any of the previous rides you know how much fun we're having this year. If you haven't had time, make time. We're having a lot of fun.

Catch you later and stay cool.

Bike Night Tonight

So tonight was a great night for Bike Night and I think for the riders. The weather was a little sketch but worked out. We made it to Snowy Mountain Creamery just in time (before the hail and rain). We had double helpings of ice cream and laughs.

Hope to see you out there next week, June 24, (Bike to Work Day!) Check DRCOG.org for breakfast stops in Longmont. You can catch me at the City of Longmont around 6:45A for free Pancakes.

Thanks for the Coverage!

The Times Call covered the ride lastnight. Check it out on your local newsstand or coffee shop, or go to www.timescall.com.

Looks like next week we'll tackle the St. Vrain Greenway, Golden Ponds and the Lefthand Brewery.

Til next week.

One Week From Today!

Bike Night starts on May 27th. That's one week from today. Look for our new ad on Longmont's public access TV and there should be a blurb in the paper, too.

Of course, you are already in the know if you're reading the blog.

See you next week and every week thereafter.

Cheers,
Ryan

Season Begins!

So the first summer movies are hitting the big screens, the trees and flowers are blooming and Old Town is coming to life after a long winter. It seems like summer is upon us. So it must be time for Bike Night. Yep, that's right, Bike Night is back for another season of Wednesday night cruiser fun. Bring your fat tire, or your daily ride and meet us on May 27th, at 6:30 PM at Roosevelt Park.

We'll be hitting the pavement and having some fun, too. Any questions? Just post them here.

See you all soon!

2009 Season

Well it's the middle of February and it is time to start thinking about spring. Right? I know our snowiest month is ahead but it's always fun to start thinking about spring. Trees, greenery, the mountains, the plains, and cruiser bikes.

Lastnight I started thinking about our 2009 season and recapped 2008 in my mind. 2008 was a fine cruiser year. We had great participation and I even got some assistance leading the ride. That was great. So now I'm thinking about 2009 and wanted to turn it over to the group to come up with ideas for rides. There are some new destinations open and I think folks enjoyed cruising the greenway from time to time.

So post some ideas and lets see what we can come up with.

Thx.

Oskar Blues and the Silo

Well, I hope you're not tuning in for late breaking news, but if you are, Bike Night will have a new destination this year. I was out doing some recon along the Greenway this week thanks to the almost 70 degree days. Anyway, Oskar Blues will be opening at the old silo this spring. That means we will be doing atleast a couple rides from Old Town to Oskars. Being that Oskars will be at the intersection of Hover and Ken Pratt Blvd. I wanted to see if there was a reasonably safe way to get there. My friends, there is. Left Hand Greenway/trail connects to a concrete paved sidewalk/trail at Hover. We travel along the sidewalk north until we reach Pike then cross over to the west side.

Good times!

Until next time; Have it good.
