Where: Dinkytown McDonalds
When : Saturdays, meet time is 9-9:45pm, Ride out at 10pm
What : Fast paced drunk ride, BYOB. Routes are random, and we tend to get lost sometimes...

This is one of my favorites, especially when we get a good turnout. It goes year round.

Who has been showing up to the Saturday Night these days? Have you seen ol' Burns at all? I'll be back for a couple of weeks around Christmas and I cannot wait to ride the SNR again, even in the dead of winter.

Yeah, Burnsie actually made it last sat. Him, Josh, Felipe, All The Way Ray, MarkFinn, Erik, Eric, Benjammin, Landon and Bjorn.

It was pretty allright - I'll post some pics up tonight when I get home.

We did make it to Coon Rapids Dam, got kicked out on one side and then stopped by the cops on the other and they ran our IDs. Then we got lost in a golf course.

But the best was definitely Burns crashing...twice.

The first crash was classic, zero miles per hour, lots of little children pointing and laughing.... Ahh Burnsie... He did make us all ride quite a bit faster after that, if even for just a few miles. Sorry to hear bout the fuzz.

Yeah, I was out of RPMs as we were rockin' north on E River Road. I never knew who was in the lead. Maybe Burns wasn't kidding about his commute to Mora.

This may be an asinine question but does anyone ride with a light?

Burns was leading for most of the way, I tried to get him to slow it down a bit, just because we were dropping people pretty bad. He was just too drunk and stubborn and just started pedalling faster, jerk.

Lights=Not SUV pancake, I am very pro lights.

Open to all, don't listen to anyone who says the newbie has to buy all the beer.... The turn out is much higher this time of the year, I know a couple of times hereNT was the only one who turned out in the sub-zero temps of our fun Minnesota winters. Unless I have to commute or am riding to a bar or something, I have this thing about staying warm....

I rode last week with a 6 of tall boys and had two left over when I got home. Of course, I did have a bottle with me, too, and the bartender at grumpy's NE poured my vitamin water/vodka as pretty much a pint glass with a splash of juice, and the rest of the vitamin water on the side...

One other thing about this ride - you haul it in, you haul it out. Be prepared for empties. I keep telling myself I'll remember a large ziplock baggy to keep from getting crap on the other stuff in my bag, but never do.

Oh, and we like to burn stuff. Fire is good.

I'm a big fan of the Camelbak with 2 liters of box wine. No empties to worry about.

Not to mention drinking on the go, white or red?

The white goes in the freezer before the ride. The red can sit as it is. ;)

I usually go white when I'm packing it, though. Silly wino.
