5.22.08 Ride

We hit up The Hills a little earlier than the rest of the Thursday Night MORC Group Ride and made it back to the lot while the rest of the folks were on the trail. After the sufferfest the night before we were a bit spent but probably could have knocked out another loop but decided to have a beverage in the lot instead and wait for the rest of the crew to roll though.

As I was enjoying a Premo, or was it a KBC, anyways, as I was enjoying the bevy some rollypolly soccer mom gets out of her van and shakes her head at us...wtf. We than witness her waddling over to the soccer pitch and berate some other bikers that were "in her way." I went over and talked to them for a bit, they said she came by and told them how us bikers just take over the parking lot. Which is funny since it is a County lot and the soccer pitch is an Eagan park...Who shouldn't be parking there?

When she and her precious snowflakes got back to the minivan we got some more head shakes as a group of about 8 of us enjoyed a brew. We all waved to her as she was driving away. I think that really got to her. :) No police presence this week, I think they are sick of her calling in.

After the parking lot action it was off to the OC for some food and discussion. Ahh, good night. Thanks to everyone and it was nice meeting all, y'all.

Oh, forgot about this. Supposedly the 10 Best Beer Names. They are pretty good. :D

See ya out there..

Leb Night Ride

Time: 6:30 p.m
Bikes: Check
Beer: Check
MORBID Members: MikeyB, Petey




Nov. 13th, 6:30pm, 55 degrees outside. Perfect temp for a night ride! Thanks global warming. Pete & I hit up Leb last night for a night ride. When we arrived there were roughly 20 vehicles in the lot. Many people taking advantage of the warm weather and there was also a MORC group ride meeting up at the same time. We let the group ride go ahead of us since we knew we would be dragging some ass. Leb is a totally different animal at night. If you haven't biked Leb a lot you forget were all of the rocks and logs are at and you start to become disoriented in the dark. You have to be very cautious or you will end up with Pete's bike tire ramming up your ass. The trail was in good condition except for an abundance of brake bumps. There are parts on the Dream Trail where it would be a fast single track if it wasn't for the brake bumps. You have to watch your speed on the bumps otherwise you risk a nice wipe out.


Beer of choice tonight was some Pick Axe Blonde Ale from Keweenaw Brewing Company. The beer was just as good as it was out of the tap last weekend. I think we will need to take a road trip to upper Wisconsin and purchase as many 6'ers of KBC as we can fit in the car. I'm telling ya this beer is just that good. I think it even tastes better than New Glarus (oh yes I went there).
