Open Call
Hello fellow Lifetime Members For Life, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you the next official meeting of your Fucking Bike Club is scheduled for this Saturday night, June 26th. It will not be the underwear ride. It will be our 64th contiguous full moon bike ride and It promises to be a Summer night in St. Louis. How should we spend it?
If anyone out there has an idea for a great route that we've never done before, or a fun destination that can accommodate several hundred cheap and sweaty bike riders on a Saturday night, don't be shy. Use the Contact The FBC link and let it be known!

There's a huge punk show at building R that we could probably talk our way into...
-Jenn D
tequila wyld has been renamed...that's like a new destination.
No Tequila Wyld this month!
punk show sounds grrraaet!!!!
I know of a Party in/near Fox Park that may be conducive to our needs? Maybe?...Details forthcoming at the BEE-MAIL link!
why not the underwear ride?!?!?!?!?!
Building R is no longer Building R. The show that is in that there place should be a good time though.
I just out scene'd Jenn D.
DEFINITELY. BOCCE. BALL.
Milo's (5201 Wilson Ave, aka Wilson & Marconi) has an outdoor bocce ball field/court/whatever you call it. Every time I've been there, it's been pretty slow (read: lots of room and bartender attention for the FBC), but I don't know if I've ever been on a Saturday night...
Although, apparently St. Louis is hosting the US Bocce Championship this week??? Woot StL

There's no way in hell Milo's can hold a saturday night fbc... I vote for a swimsuit ride to some body of water that can hold many, and all i can think of is... the Grand Basin. Don't know if that increases our PR with the city tho...
Milo's is usually busy on saturday nights. and the bocce courts (pronounced "Boe-Chee" lol) close at 11 i believe. I used to work there back in the day.
I vote for the body of water!!
um. Grand Basin!
Penthouse club!
But be warned, Chrome bags are frowned upon there.
There is nothing cheap about Penthouse Club!! If you wanna go east and cheap, then we'll need to go somewhere like ROXY'S!!!
uhhh... quentin tarantino themed bike ride. dirty strip club to follow.
A very late prom set. I vote against grand basin, we get kicked out of there before we even get a chance to party. Hell, last underwear ride, the rangers trailed us the whole way through the park, we wouldn't have even got a chance to jump in.
ok lee asked for ideas, so i'll throw one out. how about the "2010 tour de parks". we could do a loop thru forest, franz, lindenwood, tilles, francis, sublette, vigo, tower grove and clifton not nec. in that order. at each park, a brief stop with some kind of group chug. (pack ur backpacks). it's cheap and i don't think been done before. the grove has a couple events (beach bash on boyle and a cool burlesque show at atomic) going on so we cold mosey there after the last stop. for those not wanting to spend money, we could turn manchester into an fbc free for life event. as far as a theme i'd say wear your most craptastic old biker gear you have. just my frickin' two cents.
lee i think i could map out a pretty good route and deliver it to you in a sealed envelope that will be kept in a mayo jar on my porch until saturday if you need it.
.."Parks in the Dark", "Glow-in-the-Park"?
Glow-in-the-dark themed ride through all the parks? It could happen!
"2010 Tour De Parks", now that's creative.
2010 Tour de Parks is a fantastic idea. I wish I weren't going out of town this weekend.
Regardless of the theme/route, everyone have fun and PARTY HARD!
how about...FUN!
shirt and tie pants optional?
Can we do the River De Peres Greenway and/or Carondolet, too? They's so pretty.
Def agree with "Glow-in-the-Park" theme. Wear neon and shiz.
Glow in the park tour. yes. Also, Pride ride?
And Ben Smith, I was dumbing it down for the children. There is no outscening me, and that's a fact. Bitch.
Jenn D
Is this gonna be an 11:00 ride or an early ride?
well the nine i mentioned are in a pretty good loop. if we stop at each one and chug it's gonna take awhile. we could pick up wilmore (is that the river des peres greenway?) pretty easy. my idea was to hit some city streets we don't normally hit, and hit some of the obscure little parks.
and yes "glow in the park" is a grand theme. wish i had thought of it. 100 glow sticks at walmart for like $12. but i still say since it's a "bike tour" you gotta wear your most craptastic old bike gear you have.
but it's lee's call. he's the captain. if not this time, maybe another.
just my frickin' two cents......
Lee, is the ride 11:30?
if you gave us two cents twice, i think we've made 4 cents by now.. score.
let's let AWK pick our theme.
The ride always leaves at 11pm unless blog post says otherwise.
didn't realize it was pride weekend. probably not a bad idea to represent? end up on manchester?
ok here's my two million cents. it's saturday night and the ride will be huge. it is pride weekend and the grove will be hoppin'. some kind of ride on the so. side ending up on manchester seems appropriate. park idea sounds cool and cheap. glow in the park thing sounds cool and cheap. and the site of a couple hundred of the most awesome people in st. louis showing up on manchester at the stroke of midnight in a rainbow of glowing colors on bikes? well that's just priceless!!!!!!!!!!! i say let's do it! but that's just me.....
omg love that. rainbow of glowing luv on manchester at the (heat)stroke of midnight = REVOLUTION. Can we do parks, glow, and still end up on Manchester? That trio would be hot.
yeah i think that would be awesome. the fbc has always been the most bestest group of people in town. let's show 'em some rainbow colors.
besides that, pridefest is always awesome. those peeps know how to party. let's show em how the fbc rolls!
rollin' in there with 200 rainbow warriors at low noon would be the scene!
where's lee? we good? glow in the park?
ok here's my plan. i have 3 walmarts close. i will pick up every glow stick they have and sell them at cost to the fbc lifetime members for life. if not i can take 'em back. if lee says yes, i say we roll with the rainbows. sounds awesome. :P
11:00pm, glow sticks. But where is Lee?
How about we support our local small businesses and tour the awesome liquor stores of the greater metro area?
I'm new to the STL bike scene having just moved in from chitown.
I 'd love to ride with ya'll tonight. The tour de parks idea with glow sticks sounds awesome. Ending in the grove on manchester sounds even better.
Maxwell.
If you can't find glow sticks, or don't have a walmart close. You can get 5 for a dollar (braclet size) at the Dollar Tree, or two Necklace size also for a dollar.
thank god! i'm in need of a new fairly cheap bicycle, but nice. i'm 5 '4. somebody help me so i can ride next month.
Thank you kindly,
sarah k.
I found a tire pump in Turtle Park after the ride, let me know if you think it might be yours: rdavis01 at mica dot edu
sarah k, i have a couple extra bikes. if you want to borrow one anytime, look me up. i feel guilty hauling one bike on my four bike rack anyway.

Anybody find a set of keys/teeshirt at the 7-11 or Manchester? The keys go to a Toyota, there are several house keys, and a small flashlight on the ring.
i went to a bike ride last night and 7/11 dance party broke out! how freakin' awesomely random was that?
great ride pete!
I'd like to second the nomination for the freakin awesomely random award. Let's hear it for Pete!
i was way over my alcohol limit last night leaving atomic when a bungee caught my spokes and took me out. I wasn't even back on my drunken feet yet and two lifetime members for life stopped, cut the damn thing off with a swiss army knife that magically apppeared out of thin air, put my chain back on in the process getting greasy as all hell, handed me back my bike, and left the scene as fast as it happened. it was like a sudden gust of bike mechanic blew over me. i didn't even get a chance to thank them! man what a night! fbc rules!!!!!!!!! and thanks!!!!
aw I love it when the mechanics save the day. Little known fact: They love tips.
lee you picked one hell of a night to go canoeing! EPIC is all i'll say. the best part (one of many) is after some particularly athletic fbc'er for life performed some amazing aerial manuever in the dance circle culminating with a kryponite lock falling out of his backpack from ten feet up in the air while upside down, the guy in the party jeep proceeded to do a standing back flip. wtf? the guy was like 50 and wearing a suit. i bet the guy in the 7/11 is still talking about it. i have some really good pics i'll email lee. the insanity is in full blown epic proportions.
the epicity was off the charts.
Heres a video of the epic 7-11 fbc dance fiasco, copy & paste... http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc310/laineys7/fbc/?action=view¤t=7_11party.mp4
Tour de franzia this weekend?

SundaySundaySunday, huh?
Gimmie a theme, FBC overlords.
I'm ready to ride my bike in my underwear!!!
Like you need an excuse...
city wide open studio tour is saturday and sunday, and my studio at the luminary center for the arts will open on saturday. it should be a good day to ride your bike around this amazing city and check out some art stuff. http://www.openstudiosonline.org/ for more info
Quit calling the FBC flagship ride an "FBC". I don't want to hear another one you Lifetime Members for Life say "next FBC" or "last FBC" ever again. The ride is called a FIASCO! FBC is the CLUB. It is an acronym for Fucking Bike Club. The rides are fiascos.
You have been warned. Do not make this mistake again.
No moron, I don't NEED an excuse. I was merely alluding that it would be nice if the upcoming ride were the Underwear Ride. Get a clue. Sell your bike, cause no one needs negativity like yours on the ride. You know my name.
why not the underwear ride?!?!?!?!?!
