Bike Boogie !!! #1 3.29.2009 -- Sunday (plus, >600 mpg!)

 WHOO-HOO!!! It's that time again! Bike Boogie!! Yesssss.... 

 Everyone in Peddie is invited to join in the first Bike Boogie!! of the season, a low key bike ride designed to strip away the frantic world as you pedal through some soft, damp New Jersey farmland in the quiet of a Sunday morning. This is a "People's Ride," and you don't have to be a fancy pants cyclist for this, though Peddie's go-fast people, all lovely, kind people, are frequent participants and nifty riding pals for first time Bike Boogie-ers. Don't fret about whether you are enough of a rider for this: we're riding bicycles, like in fourth grade.

Participants include faculty and staff, partners and pals of Peddie people, freshmen and PGs, younger brothers and sisters, football players, swimmers, theatre folks, center campus people, grill people, left-handers, right-handers, the ambidextrous, the part my hair on the right people, people with no hair organization at all, people who need to stretch, and people built with flexo-doodle bodies that bounce softly. If you can breathe and can ride a two wheeler at the same time, and if you think getting out for a spin and feeling cool again like the fourth grader you once were might be good for your spirit at the end of the first week of the spring term, come on out.

 We gather in front of the Walter and Lee's Science Center at 10.30 am, giving us time to get to brunch right at 10.00 and fuel up. We usually head out ten to twelve miles or so (not far on a bike), stop somewhere thereabouts for food and drink and chatting, and then head home. Back by 1.00 or so, faster people earlier.

·  What you need :
-a bike, a helmet, water, a couple of dollars for snacks down the road.

·  What I can provide for a few:
-a bike, a helmet, water, a couple of dollars for snacks down the road....but only if you let me know ahead of time so I can scare up enough gear. My supply of loaners is small.

Interested? Reply and let me know that you?re interested, or are thinking about riding. Need gear? You must let me know via e-mail, so I can find supplies. Even so, no guarantees.

Finally, check out the photo of Neils Bohr and and get a whiff of how smart !! you can be if only you ride your bike. Come on out and be a genius on a two-wheeler yourself.

 We believe in bikes. >600 mpg.
