Welcome to the Shore. License and registration, you yankee interloper....

Get on your spandex and lube your balls. Another season is here.

Summer begins. I'm sure you're all ready to go. If you're like me , you have been riding and running and training and working out all winter to prepare for the season. I've lost 25lbs, but that was before I gained 20, so I'm almost at my goal weight of ### - which is: whatever number I see on the scale is my goal. And look - I made it!

We start riding this Saturday, June 22 at 10am departure from 117 Allen Avenue, Allenhurst. The ride will be a southbound loop of about 35 miles. Next post I'll have ride details.

We do one ride - if you want to go home early I'll point you to the shore and you can make it home on your own.

The usual rules and warnings: 

Helmets: Bring your own, make sure it  fits. Same for the shirt, shorts, and shoes.

Pump, tools etc: Bring a tube, a patch kit, something to pump your tires. Even if you can't change a flat, bring the stuff and someone will help change your tires.

Be Smart. Don't follow any rider into an intersection blindly. Watch your self and watch the cars. Stay to the right and single file on busy roads. Cars and NJ drivers are a great bunch of caring, considerate folks. They love when we run red lights and cut in front of them on the road. If you are going to fight with any of the locals - make sure you have back up - at least 3 Lycra clad fops per redneck.

Make sure your bike works. There's a limit to how much repair I'll do for you at 10am. If you show up with an Alien helmet and sandals, asking me to "fix your gears", you're SOL.

Be ready people. Peddler is open all week. Or call Haddad.


 See you soon.
Captain Joe.


And if you get there on time, she might come along-----
