A few of you asked me about my new jersey today and the associated club, Mission Cycling. I hung out with them the other night and they are very nice and welcoming. Membership is $25 plus the cost of a jersey, another ~$75 with taxes. Their group ride leaves Ritual at 9 this Saturday if you want to try before you buy.

A friend of mine just joined and has had nothing but nice things to
say about the club. I'm planning to go on the Saturday paradise loop
ride to check it out.

I checked out the website and it looks like loads of fun.

Just wondering... what's the skill level of the Saturday ride (like in relation to a standard bayway ride)?

And I have to say: I never associated beer and biking until moving to SF!

I guess triathlete bikers just aren't quite as wild ;)

Checking out those photos asks the question: is Rapha kit required?  Very sexy (and elitist the riff raff might say).

I just pinged them and asked if it would be OK to show up to a Saturday ride on an MTB (my road bike needs a new fork thanks to a cracked steerer column in my Ouzo Pro) and they said they have riders of all levels and there shouldn't be a problem keeping up. Seems like a friendly bunch.

what??!  beer is to bikes what captain is to tennille, peaches is to herb, and the mullet is to trinh -- each completes and makes whole the other, and is conversely nothing on its own.

All I can say in response is: thank the gods for wikipedia! I now know that much more about random (and apparently cheese-a-rific) duos of the 70s and 80s. So thanks!

(though I think a "Picard and Q" or "Baltar and Six" reference would resonate a bit more in these parts)

no idea what those references are, but they sound extremely nerdy!

you've just let the entire list know you have no soul.

Q: (along with Data, one of my first loves... this of course would be a sign... a very bad sign)
Baltar: (BSG?! The most epic show of all time?!)

it is the missing of the later reference that really exposed your un-soul-ness)

Sounds like fun, I'm busy this weekend but would love to tag along on
one of their rides in the future.

If someone goes can you post a ride report?

What I'm really hearing here is that we need SF2G jerseys...

You were jinxed, Trinh!

At least half the motivation for founding a bike club was so they could make a website and take lots of Holga photos, right?

Kidding! Glad SF is seeing some group ride action, too.
