Five Years of Fiasco

I asked in a Facebook poll to see what you guys thought we should do for a theme in July. The choices were:
A Luau. Giving us all a chance to imagine ourselves in a part of the country that actually has a summer.
A Formal. Since we missed prom season by a month or so, it would be nice to throw on some fancy Sunday clothes and go get grease and beer on them.
A Longer Route. I know most of the time we take a simple A to B route because of weather or time constraints or I'm a lazy bastard, so there is the option for a longer route. 
Something Else Entirely. Mostly this was an option to see what you guys have in mind. I like the input. Some of it funny. Some useful. Some have a little of both. It got a lot of votes, but for several different things, so it really wasn't in the running.
Tens of you voted.

It looks like it's going to be A Luau.
Not only will we be celebrating 5 years of life for the FBC Spokane, but we will be doing so in style. Get to Classy Rack (or whatever they call it now), Value Village or Goodwill and find yourself some luau duds. Flowery shirts, grass skirts and/or coconuts. Pick up a lei or two so that guy can make that joke. All. Night. Long.

I also changed the date and time. I mentioned in the last write up that this full moon would be on Tuesday. Well, there is already a Tuesday Night Bike Ride. I don't want to potentially draw numbers away from that group, and what's wrong with having two large bike rides in one week? Nothing, that's what. So our little thing will be on Saturday.
Look forward to enjoying the weather, whatever it is on a little longer than normal ride, and a dance party luau to follow. I'll see you downtown.

Fiasco 59 Wrap


(click HERE for pics)
My lil lappy is not feeling so good today. Looks like it's time to take it to the lil lappy hospital. Luckily, The Good Doctor has a kick ass machine that I can use, but I'm still going to make this quick. It's Fathers Day, and I got shit to do.

For Fiasco 59 there was a threat of rain and 100% chance of up. That didn't bring the numbers down too much. When we started at The Swamp, we got an unexpected gift from a small group gathered around a shit ton of food. They were having a retirement party in the back, and offered the FBC their leftovers. Thank you for the grub, and enjoy your retirement.

This month took us South to Manito Tap House. Luckily the rain held out long enough for us to get there. This place is always packed, the food is great, the service is great and the beers are many.

The July ride is the Birthday Fiasco. It is also on Tuesday. I don't want to get in the way of the super fun ride that is the Tuesday Night Bike Ride, so I will most likely move the Fiasco to the following weekend. Stay tuned for that.

50+ riders; 55ยบ and rain.
