More Details on The Slick 50 (w/apologies to Reed...)

Posted March 18, 2007 @ 5:57pm

[sweet photo:Kelly Mac]For those of you waiting for "more details to follow, shortly," The Slick 50 Ride went off on St. Patrick's Day. The meeting point was the Triple Rock for some mean breakfast.

That way I could have a racing bike that weighed virtually nothing? can you do this for me? Sincerely,William the Faulknerian Man Child

Had the Paddy Wagon out for an inaugural shake-down today, before this Saturday's SLICK 50 ride. More details to follow, but essentially, it's 50+K on a mix of pave, gravel, dirt, and most likely, mud. Rumour has it the Lunatic will be riding the Parade Bike....
