Local Stuff-N-Things Exhibit A: The bar crawl breed of ride is getting pretty popular around these parts lately, and this kind of ride wasn't suffering any popularity problems as it was. The Bar Crawl could be the new Meat Raffle (Yes, meat raffle. Mainly a Minnesota thing. I still don't quite get why meat raffles are so popular in MN but they are. Don't ask, don't tell). Happily, the Eight Hour Day people (although the ride is ostensibly not associated with them) appear to be incidental cyclists, and they appear to be kick ass graphic artists to boot. What I mean by 'incidental cyclists' is that they are not, as far as I can tell, part of the incestuous world of bike industry hacks, but rather just plain ol' folks who like to ride their bikes and like to drink beer and they put together a ride to do both. That's pretty cool in my book. Click here to get there. First stop is Yacht Club Nordeast at 9pm. Exhibit B: The Homey Fall Fest is coming up quick. While BrauSovCor (although the ride is ostensibly not associated with them) still haven't exactly got their shit together (ahem), this should prove to be a fun one assuming the rain holds off. What is the Homey? It's a rally for people who like to ride bikes and have fun. No whiners allowed; that's pretty much the only rule. It isn't a race, although there will be a couple of actual riding events this year involving mass starts. It's going to be on Sunday, October 30th, so that working folks (read "bike shop employees") can make it too. This year will be a two stage deal, starting with a hare-n-hound for those who need to burn off their Old Style breakfast (can you catch Brauer?), followed by the main even at Theo Wirth. No need to do the hare-n-hound unless you want to though; you can just read the non-existent flier (ahem) to find out when and where to show up for what. Flier coming soon with full details (AHEM). If you're reading this you're invited. This means you, messengers. This means you BMXicans too. This means you, unicyclists (assuming you actually exist). This means you people from out of town, and you too Bender, even though you're too 'elite' for offroad. -----
