Wednesday nite ride in the valley?

Stoopid question, since all I seem to see are hip suburbanite roadies around these parts. But is anyone riding in the Choppercabras Hump nite ride this wednesday? I missed their first one last month but like fer sure man, I'm going to make this one.

I'll be on the cool, almost a conversion, rattle canned black SS nishiki that was someone elses trash that I've rebuilt for a girl friend of mine (honest, I'm trying to get her to ride some), didn't cost me anything except for an old wheelset and a freewheel. I'll post a pic when I can scare up a camera. Hey its one of those 10 spd kinda bikes with those curved handlebars, certainly not a mtb!

I need to put some miles on it before I give it to her since I'd feel like a real fool if it dismantled itself under her cute saddle (some kind of gel filled thing) later.

The rides gotta be worth it if only to see the pre-ride jousting event.

Just got back from the ride. Nice ride, nice people (more than 20 maybe less than 50) and an interesting assortment of machines, definitely recommended. There is life in the valley. Oh, no jousting event , but no loss as far as I'm concerned. Any lurkers out there should try to make it next month.
