thanks man! the elks ride is what i was talking about, last time i went was a few months ago i have been really busy with other things like school and work and what not. but its a huge thing people come out of the woods or something haha i remember one ride we took up 3 lanes and almost 2 blocks it was great! and the pizza and beer is great to!

it started out with a few people here then it just grew huge. so just set a date keep it the same every month so people know and watch your bike community expand
