Tonight was a good night. We had a great ride. Approximately 15 or so folks came out and rode. The rain held off long enough for us to get around Old Town. We took in the sights and finished up with some ice cream. Good times. See you next week, same time, same place.

Blown out?
Thanks for leading the ride lastnight, Kelly. Kelly and a few brave souls braved the wind to ride last night. Hopefully next week the weather will cooperate.
We will be back in force next week! Same time and same place. I hope you will come on out for another go next week.

5 YEARS!
Bike Night is back. Tonight was our first ride of the 2008 Season. Thanks to everyone who rode along. We picked up folks along the way, too. Always fun to have more folks. Thanks to our new first timers Darrin, Debby, and Rheese, Steve and Eddie (sweet cruisers), Christianna and her dad, Wes, Brodie and Tiffany. I'll be bringing the digital camera along on future rides so we'll post more photos later.
Check out the new 2008 Poster. Yep that's my great-uncle clay there on the cover. He's suave and quite the prankster and avid Twins Fan. He's the perfect face for Bike Night 2008.
This year we'll mix things up a bit. I'll be posting to the blog more often and riders will get to shape the ride. We've been doing the same course for the past 5 years. I won't say it's getting old but, it's pretty predictable. This year we'll try and get down to the greenway and maybe have a ride that could include the Lefthand and the brand spankin' new Dales Brewery on Pike Road. Both are accessible (relatively) on the greenway. - sorta.
Thanks to all who showed up and made this a great kick off!
Also there will be other great things happening this year - but that's my hook - so keep checking back. If you don't see anything new - post something - you can keep this blog fresh too.
Til next time. Ryan

Welcome to the Longmont Bike NIght Blogg
First let me say Welcome!
Second I'd like to let you in on a secret, this is going to be a really good way to stay up on what's going on with Bike Night!
If you're new to Bike Night or not sure what Bike Night is read on.
Bike Night is a loosely organized ride through Longmont Colorado. Bike Night has been going on now for about 3 years. Participation ebs and flows but generally is about 15 - 20 folks. Ages range from 20's to 60's. If you're old enough to ride and young enough to stay on, then you're probably just right for Bike Night.
Rides leave Roosevelt Park at 6:40 PM we meet at 6:30 PM. Fun is the name of the game. However, even fun has to follow a few rules. First, I try to go over a few rules of the road before we venture out. Second, we try to introduce ourselves, first names only, usually. Third I describe the route.
The route is generally 45 minutes long covers about 8 miles, and rarely exceeds 6 miles per hour. There is only one hill that might elevate your heart rate. That is the up from Longs Peak to the top of Sunset Hill near the water slide. The reward,besides a few extra burned calories, is a dramatic view of the front range, foothills and Sunset Golf Course. From here we zig zag back to the Eastside Neighborhood, through Roosevelt Park, around Collyer Park and through the traffic circle at Longs Peak and Collyer Street.
If you're late you can still join up. First ride west along 6th Avenue, or sit at Francis and Longs Peak Avenue. You'll see us eventually. If you're really late meet us at Abbodanza's outdoor patio. It is rarely crowded and the pizza is good too.
I'm hoping by now, that you've realized this ride isn't about qualifying for a century road ride, or a training ride for the Tour de France. No, this is a ride that lets you go at a comfortable pace and chat with a new friend, commiserate with neighbors or meet some other folks.
I hope you will join us!
