Beer of the Bike

Our ride is this Saturday, and its going to be awesome!  We begin at Nodding Head, 1516 Sansom St, at 11am.  We’ll be leaving there around 12noon, so if you’re going to meet us there, please arrive between 11am and 12noon

The ride is going to be VERY crowded!   I want to make some things clear beforehand so there is no confusion the day of.

• Helmets required.  I’m not a cop, and I’m not going to kick you out for not having one, but don’t take chances, be safe and wear a helmet.  If you don’t have one, email me, I have a couple I can lend out.
• BYOL – Bring your own lock.  We will be locking our bikes up at each location.  Make sure you’re ride is safely locked up at each location.  We cannot provide secure storage at any location, nor ensure your bike’s safety.
• Obey Traffic Laws – This is going to be a law abiding ride.  We will NOT be running redlights, blocking traffic, pissing off motorists, etc.  Help us keep our good reputation as cyclists!
• Be Careful! -  We will be riding in traffic, please be aware of your surroundings, of over vehicles, and of each other.
• Drink Responsibly – We’re going to have a chance to try some great beers, make the most of it and don’t over indulge.  Biking is still transportation, and its dangerous to ride drunk.  If you’ve had too much, call it a day.  Or leave the ride to have some lunch and water.  Or lock up and take a cab home.  Please don’t try to continue riding if you’ve had too much to drink

I will have a sign up sheet.  So, when you arrive please find me and give me your info so that I know who all is riding.  I will be providing cue sheets for you there.  Due to the number of riders, we are not going to be riding as one large group to each brewery.  Instead, I’ll give some indication of when its time to head out, and we can all ride at our own pace to the next stop.  Find a buddy, meet a new friend, and have a leisurely ride to the next brewery.  There is no rush.

This is a slow paced day, so there is plenty of time to get to each location.  At each brewery, you’ll have a chance to try some of the beers, take a tour of some of the breweries, and maybe even meet some of the brewers.  Nodding Head, Dock St, and Triumph are all operating restaurants, in case you want to eat.

The ride is open, so feel free to join up or leave at any point.  The rough schedule is as follows:

11am – Nodding Head, 1516 Sansom St
12:30 pm – Dock Street, 50th and Baltimore
2pm – Yards, 901 N Delaware Ave
3:30pm – PBC, 2439 Amber St
5pm – Triumph, 117 Chestnut St

This ride is free, but the beer will cost money, so please bring cash.  If you’re feeling generous and you appreciate what we’re doing, you’re welcome to donate some money to the ride.  I hope to use any proceeds to make future rides even better, including having some swag to give away!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call me.  Also, If you know of others who are going to be riding, please pass this along.  Thanks and I’m looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday!
