Our friend T got mugged this weekend, knocked off her bike after a show and the dillhole took her ride. That is so uncool. Luckily she's o.k. Shook up of course, and a cut on her leg, but essentially in tact. Let's be careful out there people, and have your u-lock ready for action. There's a special hell for bike thieves, but that doesn't mean you can't clock them with the business end of a u-lock if things get heated. The Twin Cities Dead Brewery tour happened saturday. A tour of defunct brew houses, Brauer took us all over MPLS/St Paul, to places even TC vets have never ridden, and it was super fun. It started with some rain, but turned absolutely beautiful. We even picked up one guy who was just out riding around! One flat, no major mechanicals, and nobody got dropped, because that is how you do that. Brauer even gave history lessons at every stop about each brewery. The guy with the GPS 'unit' said at the end that we averaged 4.02 mph. Yeah, but how many miles to the gallon? And a great big happy anniversary to my mom and pop. 41 years today! Special congrats to mom for getting back on her bike this weekend after some physical ailments almost took away the possibilty of riding at all. I love you both. -----
