- THE HOT SOCK RIDE
-
4:00pmIf you're not swimming in snack foods and beer on a couch somewhere, watching dudes in spandex and helmets ... come join us (plus/minus helmets) on the HOT SOCK RIDE! -- It's a ride. In celebration of socks.
After meeting at Costello's Cafe on Broadway, we'll stop by Twisted for a special What Super Bowl? sale and party -- for all the knotty knitters who make their own.
From there we'll head down to the new Sock Dreams location in Sellwood, for a special ride-only party they're putting together for us (if you're feeling sub-socked, they can help you gird your calves!).

10:30amPre-Valentine Saturday Morning Endorphin Enhancing Dessert Ride
We have chocolate; who needs sex. But if you have sex, bring it too.
Chocolate is not just for girls anymore. Now it's for brunch.
We'll ride to, and stop at, some favorite dessert places, conveniently open on a Saturday morning. And we'll eat. And feel good. And pretend to virtue because we pedal.
We detour, a lot, so lead us down some alley.
Beginners welcome. We'll introduce you to dessert.
The ride won't loop, even if we can move.
We ride in drizzle, but not heavy rain.
