saddle up n roll yer stupid metal steed at 3
August 9th is Boring and Dull day. Wow. Yay. Hooray. This day celebrates the twin towns Boring, OR and Dull, Scotland. We will roll to Boring on a dull ride of 40mi with virtually no climb. Will there be a cultural event going on in Boring? Frankly I don't know nor care because it's probably boring anyway. Also, we will encounter any trite occurrence because the Boring corner store is actually the center of the whole drab town. Are you tired of Pedalpalooza? No? Well maybe this boring and dull ride will make you rethink that! Completely sick of rolling party pace? Perhaps the swift pace with which we'll zip to Boring will make your legs dull... Come all ye dispassionate. Spend the ride sulking. Wear your most colorless clothes, ride your stupid bike. If you have to bring music to broadcast (lame!) make sure it is monotonous and dull so we can grow bored of it. Excited to discover awesome new spots by following a passionate ride leader? Sorry, find another ride, this is gonna be boring old Springwater corridor. All. The. Way. Did I mention we're going back the same way? Sick of managing your physical health and outdoor needs by constantly being sucked into tedious bike rides with random folks to a dumb location just to justify stale snacks and mundanely sip your lame sore-legged life away? Then this ride is definitely the ride for you! If our pace isn't totally irksome we should make it back before dark. Reach out with any boring, dull questions. Ride leader Rich's number is available below. Because of the boring and dull need to pay rent 'n work after early August time off, Mr. Friday is unable to lead and Rich steps in! He is a loooong time biker and rides Springwater all the time, but is a fresh ride leader. I bored him to death with my advice and tips, so I think he's got this one in the bag(pipe)... THIS JUST IN: Sounds like the town of Bland, Australia has joined in. What a lovely trifecta: Boring, Dull, AND Bland. WOW
