Gather at 7pm, Ride at 7:30pm (leaving fashionably late, but not pedalpalooza late!)
Join this ride and settle the age-old question surrounding the ultimate music rivalry: Metallica or Megadeth? These two titans of thrash have had a career-long rivalry since the day Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica and formed Megadeth. THEME: Metallica vs. Megadeth! Expect an alternating playlist spanning the careers of both bands. Repping your team by wearing Metallica or Megadeth gear is encouraged. ROUTE: Route will be about 13 miles with a store stop, taking a little bit over 2 hours in total. This no-drop ride will move at a social pace (8-12 mph). Ride will not be an exact loop, but will end within about 1 mile of the start location to a spot where we can blast Metallica, Megadeth and the music of other metal titans well into the night; metal karaoke will be available for those who dare! While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask the ride leader about specifics at stops if you have questions. Please refrain from playing conflicting sounds/your own music, as this is a curated playlist. Depending on ride size, may be open to big synced sound systems for back of ride, but expect me to get nitpicky about getting it perfectly synced up! If you have questions close to the ride start time, please text me rather than email or message on Instagram - as the ride is gathering I'm often running around getting things ready and neglect to check my email. --------- We take the Shift2Bikes Code of Conduct seriously - alert a ride leader if you feel uncomfortable for any reason (racism, transphobia, sexism, people inappropriately touching you or making inappropriate remarks). Banned riders are banned here. This is also a leave-no-trace ride - we leave places cleaner than we found them. If you finish your drink or snack and have nowhere to put it, please find a garbage bin or hand it to the ride leader, who will have recycling and trash bags.
