June Full Moon Ride - Just a few days away!

It's hard to tell what Friday night will bring weather-wise, but as far as I'm concerned, the night-time ride is still on. It looks like we have about 8 people interested so far. Read the safety/lighting requirements and sign up if you want to join us.

The actual route map and directions will only be sent out over e-mail. I'm not posting the intricate details publicly. I'll just tell you these tidbits to help you decide:
  • 35-40 mile out-and-back route
  • Starts at 9pm somewhere in Lenexa, KS
  • Turn-around somewhere near DeSoto, KS
  • We will have regroup checkpoints
  • You should have enough lighting (or spare batteries) for at least 4 hours of night riding
Badger came up with the route, so I don't know if there are convenience stores along the way. You may consider bringing a little extra nourishment and hydration along.

Needless to say, this ride has the potential to go into the wee hours of Saturday morning depending on how fast or slow the riders are. At this rate it looks like I'll be piloting Hybridzilla on soft, squishy tires. I will definitely be slow.

  1. I'll be there with bells on. Well... not really, at least unless I decide to go buy one this week.

    My choice of wheels is entirely dependent on the weather. Good weather will see the nimble Torelli under me. Poor weather will see the rugged Kona out and about.

    Either way, it'll be a blast!
