Arrr, peer pressure is ali’e and well. It had better be!
UPDATE: Sept 1 @ 9:00am
Avast ye bike lovers.
Thar be a second Test Ride this Friday Night.
Day: Friday, Sept 3rd Time: 7-10:30 PM
Our motto: RESPECT THE RIDE
Arrr, for more rides and trainin’ dates see below
Sailors, Pirates and Cabinmates of all experience levels are welcome aboard. Thar will be less hills but not less thrills! The couse has been plot and the treasure map will be sent out Thurs night. Join us if you dare! Arrgh!
After the last 2 months with the huge amount of jerks crashing the party, we talked about all options, including canceling Bike Party for September. The “vote of confidence” in Bike Party was that we didn’t have to cancel Bike Party, cuz we could find whole new boatloads of new Pirates to fight off the scurge that’s been attacking our party.
Our motto: RESPECT THE RIDE
It’s easier in numbers, so we’re looking for groups of riders to join our Pirate army, our BIRDs, hell even some want to call themselves RADs (Riders Against DBags) … whatever you want to call yourselves, we need you. IF you want to make a patch, go for it… if you have artwork ready, maybe we can make it for you!
Let’s hookup. Let’s take back the party from the party crashers.
Arrr, we’re lookin’ more than a few good women and men t’ help us on our quest t’ slay the ninjas. Arrr, they’re not takin’ our ride Aye, me parrot concurs. Ye’ll ne’er get me buried booty!
Thanks to the 50+ riders that joined us on the Test Ride and it was great to see a whole bunch of new BIRDs in training. Some killer hills that probably won’t be in the final ride, but fun nonetheless. Stay tuned for the next ride and training opportunities. Please feel free to leave comments about the ride on the link below – but please no comments about the specific start or street names if you can help it. (we’re keeping all route details confidential).
Arrr, (don’t have facebook, we’re workin’ on a plug in so we’ll have it all har. hang tight, till then have a ol’ scalwag hook you up with the details. we’ll forward the route ant Txt details t’ all registard as “attendin’” or “maybe attendin’”)
whar? it probably won’t be in downtown, look west scur’y dog Gar. shiver me timbers!
Ahoy, come back again for more take back the ride trainin’ dates
Gar.

I am not on Facebook, so, will someone please send out the start location via the BIRD-list as a way to advise all BIRDs?
Thank you very much!

Starting the ride in downtown SJ is a problem. Riding through the East Side from the start is a problem. Starting the rides in west SJ (maybe out around Lawrence Expwy) and breezing through the East Side only at the end and winding up at City Hall would probably solve the joker problem on the very first pass.
Tactics come from strategies — not the other way around — or I’m not Dire Cap’n Blackbird!

I wanna be a bird!!!
Does it matter that I haven’t fully completed a ride yet? Except for the Ladies Ride?
[mod/tr: please talk to some of the uber BIRDs, you may be the exception to the rule - as you live the "how we ride" more than most
thank you!]

Aye Matey! The course set by da Captain is smooth sailin’ indeed!!! But I saw a couple o’ cabin boys doin’ some mighty confusin’ swimmin’ around the steel sharks in de water, an’ we be makin’ dem scrub the deck next time out to sea. One of ‘em had a problem with his brakes, helped by a crew with many tools to lend. Hope he’n his buddies be respectin’ the way we sail when the big cruise is on! Arggggh, they be Birds now.
