    Default Thursday Group Ride 5/3 @ 5:30

    Weather isn't looking the best, but I am planning on Scott County Park if open.

    Meet at Pride Lake parking lot.

    Mountain bikes encouraged, good times required.

    Stay tuned for changes pending weather. Meeting at Great River Brewery if our other options don't work out.

    Cheers!

    don't worry. with all this rain you wont need your bike. We'll prolly end up at Great River Brewery.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    The good news is that you can just bring it to GRB to put it together!

    pretty sure most of us here have consumed a fair amount of beer during our bike builds...makes it, umm...interesting! but it seems everything has worked out.

    On top of all the rain we've already had, they are calling for a 70% chance of .5-.75" tonight and another .75" tomorrow. Stupid rain.

    So... We are taking the Group Ride and changing it to a Group Wrench!

    We'll be meeting down at Great River Brewery (2nd and Iowa Street - Davenport, foot of the government bridge) at 6:30ish tomorrow! If you have something you'd like to get done on your bike, bring it! If you have a stand, tools, etc, bring those too!

    Wrenching on bikes in a Brewery. Dude.

    Great night- wrenching on bikes inside a Brewery...

    What a cool club!

    I got my derailer changed from a long to short cage and a bash guard in place of my chainring on the fatty, and I replaced the cracked stem on my fully, and I replaced my lost carbs in my belly!!!!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    With certainty, I know I would have preferred to be there than at home shampooing carpets.
    I wanna ride!
