Title: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by Ric_Clark on Oct 30th, 2011, 11:31am Bikin Mike has another New Rear Bike Ride on Sunday, January 1, 2012, in Blue Ridge, Texas. The ride starts at the Community Center, 200 W. Tilton Street, Blue Ridge, Texas 75424 ....starts at 11:00am ( http://www.bikinmike.com/sitehtml/02-oc/oc-happy.htm ) This is a nice rice, but it is a very small ride, however it is a GREAT way to start off the new year. I understand several R-Bent riders have ridden this ride. He offers black-eyed peas & cornbread at the end of the ride. If the weather is semi-nice then I will be there, and I hope to see the rest of the riders, clowns, and especially the Musashi riders there as well. How about it Jay/Tony/John/etc.......

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by jayg on Oct 30th, 2011, 11:42am I've done it the past couple of years. Wish Bikin' Mike would spent about $15 more dollars, so even the last rider to finish would wind up with a full bowl of blackeyed peas, instead of a few peas in a pea-tasting liquid. :) |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by jayg on Nov 22nd, 2011, 6:34pm I'll be there. Since there's never any blackeyed peas left when we finish, wonder if Bikin' Mike will heat some up for us, if we bring a couple of cans with us. :) |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by rmillay on Nov 28th, 2011, 1:42pm Dan (our RBA) has announced the regular New Year's ride, but hasn't said anything about a populaire yet. I'll try to get info from him this week. |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by Ric_Clark on Nov 30th, 2011, 9:23pm Sounds like a r-bent fest will be occuring on January 1st in Blue Ridge, Texas...... [smiley=pepper.gif] |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by rmillay on Dec 8th, 2011, 4:47pm Dan D. says there will be a New Year's populaire, a 100k. Details aren't available yet, but it will probably start about 10:00 am so that the finishers will arrive around the same time as the first 200k finishers. The start/finish is at Dan's house in Arlington on Hollywood Rd., and we will be eating black-eyed peas and other stuff afterwards. |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by Monkeywrangler22 on Dec 9th, 2011, 8:57am Not sure what ride to do now...Been thinking of the New Years POP, as I like that distance, and don't have the base miles yet for longer...Hmmm. |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by rmillay on Dec 9th, 2011, 3:13pm Route typically is Arlington to Venus and back, and good eats, interesting, if weird, company...best way to cure a hangover! [smiley=cheers.gif] |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by rmillay on Dec 20th, 2011, 6:10pm The LSR New Year's populaire is now set to be 10:30 on the first. The route will be Rando Alvarado 107k. The 200k is bulging with intended riders, and we've now got a half dozen riders interested in the 100. The populaire is a free ride, so last minute additions are not only accepted, they are encouraged! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by rmillay on Dec 26th, 2011, 6:15pm Did they mention 25 mph winds from the South, turning around to the North shortly after noon? ;) |

More importantly, nobody mentioned that Bikin' Mike appears to have eliminated one of the rest stops. Anyone taking a diuretic is gonna be flat out of luck. [smiley=dancer.gif] |

Title: Re: NEW REAR RIDE ~ 01.01.2012 Post by catroad254 on Dec 26th, 2011, 8:12pm The break points are in the same place as last year. Those of us that are not worried about weight carry water with us. |

The rest stop with the Port-O-Potties has been eliminated. I remember it from last year, because one of my knees went out on me, and I had to SAG in from that location. Note that the rest stops for this year's Ride are located only at Exxon stations. By the way I wouldn't be worried about drinking water (I don't need no stinking, weight-adding water). I would be worried about finding a place to get rid of water. :) |
