    Default Friday Fun Ride Featuring Fat Bike and Friends 1/25 1:00pm

    Back by popular demand, we are going to blow off work Friday afternoon and do what this club does best...ride bikes with friends whilst having fun.

    There really is no plan on where we'll be heading, but let's plan on meeting downtown Davenport at 12:30-1:00 and see what the mood is and go from there. May hit some trails, roads, river banks, ice and or snow...hopefully. Details aren't important for having a good time- it'll be had one way or another.

    If you're stuck at work, just sext us when you're off and we'll give you GPS coordinates as to our whereabouts. Text or voice call will work also.

    Cheers!


    P.S. If by chance we end up at the legendary Enchanted Inn...god help us all.

    Enchanted Inn?!? Crap. I may have to reconsider my earlier denial of your proposal. Hey, if u end up at the mooners place or the Inn, can you ask if they have my spare GoPro battery???

    I'll be at Great River Brewery to park and ride from around 12:30. Will hope to be saddled up around 1.

    I always think rides like that are going to be a blast, then when they are over they always turn out waaaaay better than I thought. One of the better rides I ever been on happened yesterday.

    Good times, fellas. Thanks for the coming out, keeping the scene alive.

    Heading back out in a bit for some recon stompin'.

    Cheers!!
