New Year's Day Ride
Yawp Cyclery
Humans spend a lot of time looking forward. We tend to not be all that happy in the present, and we like to look ahead to times we think might be better. On New Year's Eve, we spend a lot of time making resolutions that will probably never cross our minds a second time. Humans also spend a lot of time looking back (mostly to 1982).
Instead of doing any of that, let's spend the day looking twelve to fifteen feet ahead while moving our feet in circles. Let's ride 25ish miles on mixed media (mountain or cross bikes will probably be necessary, unless you ride road bikes like this guy). Obviously, we'll have a beer or two upon our return. If we spot an orange camper van along the ride, we'll buy a round.
Okay! Meet at the shop on January 1st, 1982, at 12:30pm. That will give you time to sleep off all of those steak and tater-tot sandwiches you ate after midnight on New Year's Eve. See you then. Yeah bikes!
A proposed route.
We'll do something like this if the weather has made the streets impassable.
