ECVC vs driving rains and ridiculous action flicks

Thursday Night Ride

Gemini Twin

10 men plus John Eric and a friend

Two long bikes out tonight. Hauled a stereo system and speakers to the movies. Broke the damn receiver. Then torrential downpour. Everyone soaked; super wet. EC Velo rolled hard through the rain at 0200 hours. Who else does this shit?

TNR 08/13/09 Fighting Tornados

EC Velo fought a tornado and won. No big deal. Orange sky means nothing. Rolled the hills to the Gemini. Stopped for Haapala to fix a flat for what seemed to be an hour. Beer. Movie. Downpour about half way through G.I. Joe. Awesome. Warriors. Rain was on/off/hard/light. Pretty much the best way to go to the drive-in. Rolled back in a decent downpour. Basically EC Velo is the baddest bunch of bicyclists that ever rolled by the boulevards.

TNR 08/06/09

Lots of pedaling. Rolled on trail and some back roads to Chippewa. I broke off with a few others to head back early because I'm a loser and a bit beat. Everyone else I'm sure is still engaged in drunken revelry and fire making. I lit shot some lighter fluid into a ground bee's nest at my house and lit it. It was in a wall so I don't know if I got enough penetration to burn the fuckers out.

TNR- Rain and Hills

Rode south of town and looked at a Hosta farm with about a thousand species. Saw a rainbow. Then rode a rollercoaster of hills back across. Then we stole Andy's NDS pedal. It was hiwearwious.
