Water Fight

Wow what a fantastic event. Big thanks to all of you who came out and made it possible also a huge thanks to Bike Gang! who were our worthy opponents. We'll have to do this again sometime. Our next regularly scheduled ride will be Sunday, June 19th. More Details soon.

See ya then.

Rumble on the River, Sunday, June 5th

Join us Sunday June 5th for an extra special edition Pedal Punks ride. It's going to be short, sweet, and wet. We will meet the scourge from West Asheville, Bike Gang! in unholy water combat. Come armed for water destruction. We'll meet up at the usual spot at 3:45 to lock and load (bring your own water weapons). The battle starts at 5:00 under the West Asheville bridge where we will unleash a watery hell onto Bike Gag, I mean Gang. Feel free to decorate your bike and yourself for this Road Warrior-esque showdown.

Here are the rules:

1. Anything goes as long as it's friendly, (no stains, no bodily fluids please)

2. You must disarm yourself before entering the Wedge's parking lot.

May the best gang win!

Sunday Ride May 15th

Our next ride will be on Sunday May 15th at 4:00 pm. We'll meet at the usual spot (check the map to the right) and it will be led by A.P.P.'s own Karen Into. Cullen will be out this week due to his beautiful niece's birthday party (2 years!),

Chasing duckies

which should be all kinds of fun as well.

If you're new the sport or new to the Pedal Punks, we invite you to meet up with us for a leisurely paced, social ride. We have people of all skill levels but mostly we cater to those that are new to cycling or are just Bike-curious. As long as you are will to pedal we'll wait up for you and cheer you on because cyclists are worth it. If you've come before and not finished a ride we encourage you to comeback. Don't worry about slowing us down, the only goal of this ride is to get everybody to the bar with bicycle and beer in hand. (even if you have to take a slight shortcut). Ugly bicycles very welcome!

In other news we're toying with the idea of volunteering at the Asheville On Bikes bike corral at the Mountain Sports Festival on Saturday May 28th. We would need about 6 to 10 volunteers, so keep that in the back of your mind. Also thinking of an "armed" confrontation  (water-balloon fight?) with that 2nd rate "bike gang" across the river. We'll keep ya updated.

P.S. Good job everyone who came out for mountain biking. You guys kicked my slow ass. We'll have to make this kind of an informal regular thing.

May Day Ride, Sunday May 1st!

I'm not really sure what May Day is a celebration of (workers rights mayhaps?) but hey what better way to celebrate it than a sweet ride with the Asheville Pedal Punks. Come join us for a leisurely 10-ish mile ride with your friends and neighbors. The ride meets at 4:00 pm and rides out at 4:15. We'll end up at the Bywater for a post ride drink. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate so come loaded for fun. A quick thanks to Timm Gamgee who made us some sweet buttons. Also be sure to pick up a T-shirt from the link at the bottom of the page. Also good job to all of you who competed in the Bad Egg Alley Cat last weekend. If you're looking for some fun shtuff this weekend check out the Big Love Fest downtown, as AOB will be out with their bike corral so you don't have to park your car and there'll be some amazing artists including the amazing Asheville Pedal Punks rider Jo Doyle! If you're new to the ride or just bike-curious I encourage you to join us here at 4:00 pm on Sunday.

Sunday Ride

It's that time again for another exciting Sunday ride with your favorite bicycle club. We'll meet on Sunday afternoon at the usual spot at the corner of Mount Clare Ave. and Hillside St. in N. Asheville. Meet up is at 4:00 and we'll roll out at 4:15. Make sure you sign in when you come and introduce yourself, after all it's a social ride. We'll take in a bit of Montford, a bit of downtown, some of West Asheville, a dab of the greenway system and end up at everybody's favorite watering hole, The Bywater. Last week was our biggest ride ever with 15 starters and with your help we can only grow. Have a great week and we'll see ya out on Sunday!

April Foolish Sunday Ride

Sunday's ride will meet @ 3:45 and begin @ 4:00 pm sharp at our usual meeting place at the corner of Mount Clare Ave. and Hillside Street in N. Asheville. April Foolish attire encouraged. We'll be lead by the wonder, beautiful, amazing, fantastic Karen Into as she welcomes another year onto her life. It will be a low pressure social ride with plenty of chances to catch up, catch your breath, catch the views, or catch up with your friends and neighbors. The weather seems like it's finally going to cooperate on Sunday so prepare for sun but bring sweater just in case. Also there will be a prize giveaway of something fabulous. I have a sneaking suspicion that we may have to start getting permits for this soon. Keep it up Punks!

Peace,

Cullen

Happy Birthday Karen!!!

P.S. a begrudging thanks to whomever of you Punks nominated me for a community service award, if this is community service then awesome.
