Tuesday (10/13) Off-Road Night Ride (CP) - Simsbury

Time: 6:30pm

Location: Commuter lot at the intersection of Wilcox Street and Iron Horse Blvd, Simsbury (Behind the Bank of America drive-up ATM).

What: Off-road, night-time cyclocross/mountain bike ride. Mix of rail trail, dirt roads and singletrack trails throughout the Farmington Valley. Keep your road bikes at home.

What should I bring?: Handlebar or helmet light (or both), rear strobe light, bike clothing appropriate for the weather (it can get cold after sunset). Red cycling pants are optional. Bring a change of clothes for a post-ride beer, as well as extra money to buy a beer for the swell ride leaders.

Route: We'll start at the beginning, ride the middle parts, then end up at the finish. Just follow the person in front of you.

This week's theme song: Plastic Jesus

Weather guy says the rain should clear out this afternoon.

I will wear my red pants. Thank goodness you're back, John. Christian could spend all freaking night in the woods.

Based on the text message he showed us from his wife a couple of weeks ago, I suspect he now sleeps in the woods.

I don't care if it rains or freezes

Long as I got my plastic Jesus

Ridin' on my bicycle handle-bar

Through my trials and tribulations

And my travels through the nation

With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

Amen.
