Wrench night at The Bikery on Wednesday, May 11th, starting at 7. Feel free to bring some beer to drink, some snacks, and whatever work you need to do on your bike.

We've got 4 stands and basically all the tools you need. We've also got lots of parts if you need to buy something.

$5 suggested donation (we're a non-profit), but feel free to come by and hang out too

I'm going to be riding my Big Dummy. It's a a bit slower than I'd prefer but hopefully you all aren't racing up there.

I am not permitted to drink whiskey. Should you see the Jerf reaching for, holding, or drinking whiskey of any sort, please intervene.

Jerf will not drink whiskey on a bike. He will not drink it at a river dike. Not with a fox or a raccoon, in a box or under the moon. Jerf will not drink it here or there, Jerf will not drink it anywhere.

I will be reciting this to the mirror in the morning before I leave.

Christ, no. I haven't done mushrooms since 1999 and I think it's best to stay that way.

Certainly depends on the individual of course...

I know the folks on the divorce bike that year would tend to agree

Looking forward to your review.

$4.50 microbrew drafts, free pool and in a building that shakes every time a logging truck rolls by... yep, it's that special Oregon type of dive. Bike parking was limited, but my bike was still there when I left. Extra points for the being a former whorehouse "built from the wreckage of the Desdemona."

Did you all know that this is only 9 sleeps away?

Speaking of sleeping (or not), now's a good time to start taking stock of what you have and what you might need.

I was thinking of riding, but I really don't want to wear myself out since I have a ten hour shift the following Monday. I could be a relief driver since my truck is fixed, and i have plenty of room in the front and back for extra gear/kegs if needed. I haven't had time to read the whole thread, but if there is car/truck access, I could lend a helping hand.

No. Make him ride home. He's currently complaining about having chocolate frosting on his elbow.

Joe deserves to ride his bike home.

She's got a bum foot so can't ride much currently. And I think the negotiating for her to provide travel back from the campsite will come at too great a cost to me.

I am liking that setup. Especially the growler cage used for a sleeping bag. Good thinking.

I'm still anxiously awaiting details to a ride that not only do I have no intention of attending, I most likely will be completely unable to attend.

PS: I will inform you of this later Ben

I also cannot attend this ride. But for anyone who is in Uzbekistan we can do our own thing.

I miss you guys. Have a blast.
