There should really be a bike ride on Sunday Feb 5

The last 2-3 years I've been out riding on Super Bowl Sunday and noticed the streets pretty much deserted most of the day, and thought "this would be a great day to plan a bike ride."

That is all.

Super Bowl Sunday used to be my favorite day to go skiing.

Be sure to be inside by the end of the game - drunk drivers aplenty.

Okay, since I do not see any events listed for February 5 on the Chainlink Calendar, maybe we could brainstorm a place/time to meet up, propose some routes, then post it and see who shows up? I would really love to get out of the house on Sunday- maybe just plan the ride to be during the game so that everyone can be safe at home before all the drunks pour out of the sports bars?

This is a great idea, I'd be super down for it. Just post when and where to meet-up.

I think it does depend somewhat on the part of town. I'd suggest avoiding areas with lots of bars (especially sports bars) towards the end of the game.

You know-- maybe it has to do with the part of town I tend to ride in or something, nut I haven't really seen that swell of erratic drivers after the game. There just seems to be less traffic the whole day.

A driver has to be pretty exceedingly drunk to drive erratically (usually). But their judgement, vision and reaction times can be very compromised even if they appear to be driving normally.
