New Start

I have heard that there may be some changes made about the capacity of The Swamp so we may get to go back there, but this month we are starting at The Viking. The Viking has always been receptive to the FBC and I expect this time to be no different. In fact, I just got off the phone with them and they are stoked to have us and should be staffed appropriately for our large crew. However, they will not be extra staffing the kitchen, so if you want a snack you may want to bring it with you or be prepared to wait a little while.

As with all the Full Moon Fiasco rides, we meet at 8:00pm and ride at 9:00pm. We will take a circuitous route to our final destination which will involve several traffic lights, mysterious turns, ride-bys of certain locals and multi-lane traffic crossings. I implore you to be very careful and do your best to obey the rules of the road.

Tuesday March 30th | The Viking | 8:00pm

To Neato!

If you've been following along, you will know that there is still an issue of capacity with The Swamp. The FBC went there to start again this month simply because I ran out of time to plan something else. I would like to thank all the new riders and veterans for their ever increasing patience while this gets sorted.

The weather cooperated again this month and let us have a dry ride. We took that opportunity to head through Brownes Addition to the roundabout at The Elk and down 1st to the fountain at the park. I like to stop at the fountain because that gives us a chance to catch everyone up after stopping at all those red lights along the way. I was surprised when I got to the fountain and turned around to find 75 cyclist standing there waiting for me to do something. So we took off for Neato Burrito.

Tim did the FBC a solid by opening up the restaurant side to accommodate the large crowd. On Sundays they close the Neato side and the Baby Bar in the back is the only thing open. Tim went to a lot of trouble to open up AND have food cooked for us. Next time you get hungry, ride over to Neato and give them money for some fabulous food. Also, be sure to check out his band Whiskey Dick Mountain.

It's getting warmer out there so be aware that there may be some auxiliary rides during the summer. There are things in the works for some Earth Day stuff and there are always the pedals2people tune ups that are fun as well. Be sure to shoot me an email if you find out about some bikey sort of thing that you want the world to know about, I just might post it right here.

Next month we have a destination solution (FOR THOSE THAT KNOW, DON'T GIVE IT AWAY! I WILL CHANGE IT) but as far as a starting location, that is still up in the air. If you know of a place that will happily serve 100 bike riders let me know. I will give it serious consideration.
