Just when you thought you were out of that cold and bitter Phoenix valley area winter season – Bam! you’re hit with another wave of cool. We’re referring to the fourth annual Tempe Bicycle Winter Games of course.

Get your body armor on and your health insurance renewed – once again we’ll be practicing the time honored brutal tradition of princess bike death races, slow ride, figure 8 races and more fun activities. Before you brutalize yourself, join one of your favorite neighborhood bars Boulders on Broadway for their bike swap and gear meet at 9 a.m. Boulders will also be serving up NEW brunch items (20 percent off for TBAG members) plus all-day happy hour drink specials, not to mention very tasty burger & sandwich specials.

Grab some gear, grab some beer and at noon, get your Winter Games on in the parking lot of Boulders.

I say mate, ain’t it time for a night out on the town in our finest and what what?
Join TBAG once again for one of our most popular cruises, the Tweed Ride.

Meet us at 7:30 p.m. on the corner of Rio Salado Parkway and Mill Avenue in Tempe Beach Park where you can pose for a picture. Then at 7:45 p.m. we’ll bike off for a jolly good
time at the finest pubs in town.

Don’t know what to wear? You poor blighter. Well let us enlighten you to the fashionable choices for the evening.
Bowlers, pleated skirts, course knits, pipes, woolen trousers, suspenders and bow-ties are what’s hot for the evening. Show up for a pint in your spandex and you might as well have shown up in your skivvies. Hip Tip: Check out your local thrift stores for great deals on gently used vintageclothing!

As always, the ride will be frightfully easy, so all birds and mates of any skill level are welcome to attend for a smashing good time.
Pip pip, cheerio and all that rot.

Oh, and don’t forget to RSVP to the event on the TBAG Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/biketempe

See you there, old bean.
 
I forgot to mention that one of the big attractions during the Winter Games is Tall Bike Jousting.
Not my cup of tea, but a lot of guys (and even some gals) have a blast doing it.
