Famous Riders

We got these from the Brooks England Facebook page, normally we don't steal things to repost, but they were just too funny. See if you can come up with some better captions.

'I can not tell a lie; I love this ride!'

'I pity the foo' who don't like my bike!'

'It's the Empire's ultimate ride, the Death Star'



'I spin for a hobby'

Good Time at the Ride

We would like to thank everyone who participated in our Seersucker Ride for making it a great day!

There are a few more pictures from this event in the "Past Rides" tab.

Seersucker-eve

Well tomorrow is the day! We will have our Seersucker Ride on June 16^th, 2012. The ride will be from 3:30-5:30 starting in Downtown Alpena (in front of Blue Phoenix Books) and finishing at ACC (Alpena Community College).  

"Last fall The Alpena Tweed and Bike Club held its first Tweed Ride. It consisted of a group of cyclists who dressed in traditional cycling attire, particularly tweed suits, to recreate the spirit of a bygone era. Since we have many more friends in town in the summer, than the fall we decided to offer an additional Seersucker ride that is happening this weekend. This was a family friendly event with the goal of taking bicycling back to the day of a fun family adventure. We ask all to attempt the dress of the early 20th century, no matter what kind of bike you ride. If you don’t have the clothing, we ask that you bring your sense of fun, and participate in this ride that is geared to even our slowest riders."

We should have a few friends from the League of Michigan Bicyclists who will be in town for the Sunrise Bicycle Tour. Please come out and show these individuals how friendly Alpena can be.

Two Days Away!

We only have two days before the ALPENA SEERSUCKER RIDE!!! We can't wait to see you there!



Seersucker Map 2012

After long last we have the Seersucker 2012 Map! It is a nice combo of roads and the Bi-Path (that's Bike Path in most other lands).

Rules of the Road (or Ride)

Rules:

Please give the bike in front of you a little room. We don’t have bike on bike pile up.

Stay as a group (There is safety in numbers)

Ride no more than two abreast and stay on our side of the road (we will take the full lane, not the full road)

When on the road, we will follow the traffic laws as a group.

• The first and last bikes will signal for turns
• Once the first bikes leave a stop sign, following bikes should follow to keep the group together
• We want to avoid bike/car contact (or intermixing)

If you are worried about your riding skills, we suggest that you stay to the middle of the pack. Let more experienced riders guard the front and back.

Think About the Weather

We have less than a week before the Alpena Seersucker Ride, and you may have noticed that the weather has been on the warm side. Please, think about this when figuring out what to wear! We don't want people frying their bacon out there!

Shenanigans

Posters!
