Needles in the Haystack
You guys thought were Fiascos were big. Wait until this Saturday. Saturday August 16th the Fucking Bike Club presents Full Moon Fiasco 41: Let's Get Ready To Ramble!
Meet at Turtle Park before 11:00pm. At 11 sharp we are going to head downtown, meet up with 20,000 of our closest friends and go for bike ride. For those of you who are new to the moonlight ramble, it is the worlds largest night time bike ride and it kicks major ass. I have it from a reliable source that the route will not be a repeat of the last two years. In other words, there will be turns. See you there.

Is it really $25? What does the money go to?
your mom. payin for shit is for suckers
no could have said it better.
thank god fer ya rose
my bike hurts... does anyone have a spare fork? or some advice on shopping for forks... for serious pain!
i hear the $25 goes to beer.
So it really is for my Mom. I wish I could be there.
As much as I am for not paying, the ramble this year is going to fund a pretty sweet project that's just in the preliminary stages: the possibility of putting a hostel into the Mullanphy emigrant house in old north st. louis. The old north restoration group, our fine friends behind the reconstruction of the 14th street mall, has been working on saving the Mullanphy House for years now (http://www.savemullanphy.org/), and this is a project that seems like it could be viable — plus we need a hostel for all of our visitors, and what better place to put it.
So, if you don't pay (which I support), you could join me in sending some dollars from your first round on Saturday to Old North or to Hosteling International to help with this specific project. More information below:

That being said, I've got a friend who's working on the Obama campaign way out in Warren County and she's coming in to ride on Saturday, but needs a bike. Anyone up in the UCity area have an extra one we could borrow for the night?
i really hope that liz that left such an informative comment is ms wolfman...I almost wanted to write a CL missed connections to your wheels last full moon. i love you.
Emily, what kind of fork you need? Ridged 26, 27, 29, 700, suspension 26, 29? Threaded, threadless? 1", 1-1/8" ? I may be able to come up with something by tomorrow night.
they have been having rambles to support hostels for what almost 30 years? and we still don't have one in st louis , right? just saying....

I stayed there last year before I moved to town. StL got a hostel, yo.
Rigid, 27 wheels, 7 in head tube length, 1" diameter steerer, threadless? threaded? not sure... it's an old schwinn, from the 80s I think... a traveler to be exact... Tim if you come up something, email me... i'll check often... I do have a sporty mountain bike from my middle school days, so I'm not totally bike-less for tonight... THANKS so much for the help!
Considering that the Mullanphy Emigrant House was saved from certain demolition by a citizen's group working with local bloggers, this is a pretty noble cause.
But yes, $25 is pretty steep, and they're public streets. Why not just kick a few bucks directly toward the Mullanphy project?

HLD- that was not me liz, but another liz who is clearly more on top of her shit than I am. Kudos to her. I hope her friend finds a bike. I will probably not be rambling tonight, as I'm going out of town for a few days tomorrow morning, and honestly, I fear the ramble. But I encourage the FBC to find safety from once-a-year riders in numbers. Best of luck. Oh, and my bike appreciates the compliment. I love you too!
Mary Jane Reilly, aka my grandma told me she used to go on these and that you don't have to pay. My grandmother is the hippest 83 year old I know. That being said, I also can never tell if she is making shit up or not.
so...the next full moon (sept. 15th) is just 3 days before my 26th birthday. just throwing that out there. oh, and on the 19th there's gonna be a party at BONERVILLE (3301 michigan&utah) featuring such local acts as the NERVE PARADE and the FOREST PORKS (both tentative). anyway, see you later.
And on the 21st there will be the next Alleycat.
hey jeff, if we're interested in volunteering, how do we do that?
email me.
We won't need check point workers. Our new format has done away with them.
But if you want to help out at the start/finish that would be cool.
1313 trouble (at) gmail (dot) com
also there will be no entry fee!
But you will need to bring between 6-9 dollars.
All needed details will be coming in the next week or so.
Here is the latest info for the Alleycat on Sunday Sept. 21
