We Hope to See You Tomorrow!

Just a reminder, we are having our first club ride tomorrow (9/25/11). No dress code. Just show up at the corner of 9^th and Chisholm a little before 5:00 pm, and we will find someplace to ride. We hope to see you there… and if you can’t make it this week, try to catch up with us next week.

First Weekly Ride: Fall 2011

The first weekly ride of The Alpena Tweed and Bike Club will start at 5:00 pm on Sunday, September 25th, 2011. We will meet in the parking lot of the Alpena County Annex Building (aka the “New Court House”) on the corner of 9th and Chisholm. Look for the people standing around on bicycles in the big parking lot.

Unless there is really bad weather, we will go for a ride. We really are not planning any particular route; we will go wherever the group decides.  If you can’t make it this week, we would love to see you the next. Come when you can, miss when you can’t. There are no fees or commitments, just friends (old, new, or future) getting together to enjoy ourselves.

New Look!

You many have noticed a new look and blog title; with the success of The First Annual Alpena Tweed Ride we decided to expand our goals a little. First (and most of you probably got this from the “annual” part) is that we are planning to have a Tweed Ride next year, second we want to start having a weekly ride around town. Now unlike the Tweed Ride, there is no theme to these rides, unless having fun is a theme… so anyway, the plan for this “fun” themed ride is just get together for an hour or so with some old, new, and future friends and have a slow cruse around the town. 

For the fall we will probably have the rides at 5:00 on Sunday afternoons. Next summer we may move them to a weekday night and push the time back, but with the days becoming shorter we figured we should try to get people home before dark.  We will post more details later in the week. Send us a message or leave a comment if you have some input!
