Leave for 7:30 but realistically 7:45 but if you show up at 8 and you can’t find us then we’re probably at Ladds entertaining FNR with Baby Beluga
End location: Probably within 10 mins of the start.
With the weather predicted to be somewhat awful, rainy and windswept what could be better than getting together with a bunch of people and riding bikes at a slow pace that’s beginner friendly. What could be better: Staying home and watching Netflix? Probably not. Staying home and watching videos of kittens and puppies and random animals falling asleep? Definitely better. But what if, what if, some part of you is all geared up and ready for all the excited rides for this night and you see they’re all being cancelled or rescheduled because of rain. Well this ride is for you and everyone else who isn’t the Wicked Witch of the West, (Turns out she was very misunderstood, but still had a delicate constitution around water). This is going to be a ‘’Its your music ride’. Everyone at the start gets to add music to the playlist and we just make a random mix. Do you wanna karaoke? You can do that as we ride with the wireless mics we have. Wanna request we flash mob to a particular song? We can try and see how it goes. Is any music banned? Well because of Sarah Monster Mash even Nickleback is allowed now. But seriously is any music not allowed? Well, who wants to hear American Pie, or Baby Beluga or that song about a cafe on thanksgiving….lets just try and keep requested songs under 5 mins…and although Coldplay or Drake isn’t a banned artist, let’s try not to make people’s ears retch. Can I request Rick Astley? You don’t need too he’s already on the playlist. But can I add him again? No need he’s already on there twice…. But, really can I ask for him again? You can’t win this game. Our Rick Rolling game beat the final boss and started again and then we beat the final boss over and over. Beyond all that. We practice consent and mutual respect and nonviolence on all our rides. If you’re banned elsewhere you’re banned here too. If you’ve a hard time recognizing other people have the right to exist and live their lives with autonomy and how they see fit, and respecting it’s their body and their choice, this isn’t the ride for you.
