OMG! Music to my eyes!!!! Hee hee. Yay! Tour de Brew.

OK, don't know what's on the calendar til I get to work Monday to know what Saturday works best. Will post later about that.

But THANKS Schaars for putting on this very important event!!!

Ask and ye shall receive!

Thanks again Karen for putting this together....

I vote for one of the August dates....it is going to be impossible for me to ditch work that Saturday

Hopefully........we can settle on one of the August dates.....but I'm just one measly dude hoping to HFDB!!

Karen, thanks again!

The August dates are best for Bernards.

June 27th works better for me since I am off that day. But if you have it in Aug just let me know so I can get that day off in plenty of time.

I can't wait!

The first two are race weekends. So as your current IMBCS Cat 3 Points Leader I really have to focus there!:burnout:

Here's to no one showing up for more races than me!!

Karen / Scot,

You come up with a date yet?

OK, I have contacted all the pubs, and set a timeline for le Tour de Brew, Saturday, August 15th edition.

Moline BierStube-leave at 12.30pm (has food menu avail.)
Sylvan Island-12.45-1.15pm perimeter lap and homebrew/coolers
R.I. Blue Cat-1.30-2.30pm (has food menu avail.)
Sylvan Island-2.45-3.15pm (xtra card lap) homebrew/coolers
Moline River House-3.30-4.30pm (has food menu avail.)
Moline Bent River-4.30-??? (has food menu avail.)

I am looking for someone to staff a "mobile pub" at Sylvan Is., so if you don't want to ride, you can pass out beers here!
A couple of guidelines: this ride is not open to the general public, you have to be deemed cool enough to go,
you are on your own if you crash
and NO ONE under 21 years of age should be participating.

Let me know if you can make it, so I can give the pubs a heads-up.

Ok, just a reminder for THE Tour on Saturday-August 15-it was about the only Saturday that did not have a race or fest going on. I'm posting this up now, since Scot & I probably won't see anyone in person til then-this w/e, we will be at the Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison for beer nirvana-110 brewers, 500 beers, wines, meads, ciders :banana: over 50 cask conditioned real ales-have you ever tried Surly's Tea Bagged Furious? it has nothing to do with tea, and everything to do with HOPS; tents with such attractions as grilling ribs with beer, beer & cheese pairings, beer & chocolate-last year one of the brewers had a beer served in edible chocolate cups.. but enough of my rambling. Hope to see you on the 15th.

BIG THANKS to Karen & Scott for organizing Le Tour de Brew! We had a great time. I think the mobile tap room should accompany us on all club outings...one for the road!
Thanks guys!
