St. Patrick's day ridin'

Where are y'all going to ride for St. Pat's? Anybody got something cool planned? It's a Saturday to relish.

Myself, I'll be barhopping dirty all day.

Liverdance is going on here, but I'm not healed enough to ride that kind of distance yet.
I'll probably go to the start, sneak a peak at the manifest and hit the stops that are close to take some pictures.

Then I'm going to see the Sword.

I will be attending two USCF clinics this weekend:
1. Basic Officials course (Saturday - 9am-1pm)
2. Senior Official/Track Official (Sunday - 10am-2pm)

I will also be building base-miles, assembling a new bike, and gluing up some new tubulars.

If you are going to get wasted and foolishly continue to promote the stereotype of Irish heritage, wear a helmet (when you are riding).

I was going to say "There needs to be an option for riding drunk but helmeted"

That sounds fun man. Good luck.

I'll be doing some riding and then DJing a party. Lots of beer will be drank, none of it green.

It's not just a stereotype, it's a badge of pride. I'll drink you under the table, b!tch ;-)

Pfft... sif my girlfriend will be there for a drinking session with the boys. And you're just not playing the game if you're that sober. You would've gotten bored and left at least two hours ago.
