More details will follow, but here is the general idea:

monument to monument flyer
There will be a pretty elaborate cue sheet available (probably on bikely).  In the end, it will end up working out to be a century or something close.
oh, and anyone who drops me a line to let me know that they’re in for it will get a monument to monument pin (like the 1″ punk rock pins but with bikes not some crusty band)

Things are moving along on the RIDE LIKE HELL comp.  still waiting on some things from some bands though.

Warm weather brought about some nice rides lately. you can check them out @ charmcityvelo.motionbased.com 

Oh, on said rides.  two pretty interesting things yelled at us.

  1. A guy rolling by on a harley held his fist up and screamed “Bikers Rule!” at us. I was surprised that he drew a bicycle-motorcycle connection.
  2. From the more malicious camp, someone called us “fruitcakes”.  I was surprised because I can’t remember I heard anyone call anyone else a fruitcake.  it was like he came from the 1980’s to insult us.

Also on the music front. 

If you live in Baltimore, you NEED to check out Bean and Sisters.  Because they are pretty much fantastic.
