We need to start a German beer club - but how do we tie it to bikes?

I'll still drink to it ...

A'man & Pirogi John:

Sorry I skipped out last night. I had to be up at dawn today for my maiden expedition to Costco. I'm now feel like a survivalist with an overflowing pantry %)

And A'man, you are permitted to invite a companion on the Queen's Tweed!

I can derail anyone...it's amazing what 'really good tap water' can do to you...

I'm a few comments behind the pack, but May 2nd sounds good to me both historically and expected weather-wise.

Lee, here is my badge:

and yes, if not the ride, someone should definitely name their bike Julia. She seems like a fixie to me (wistful sigh).

May 2nd is a great day! In 1969, the British ocean liner Queen Elizabeth II departed on her maiden voyage to New York. Or in 1997, Mike Myers' "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" opened in theatres.

On May 2nd, 1933:

1933: Loch Ness Monster sighted

Although accounts of an aquatic beast living in Scotland's Loch Ness date back 1,500 years, the modern legend of the Loch Ness Monster is born when a sighting makes local news on 2 May 1933. Several London newspapers sent correspondents to Scotland, and a circus offered a £20,000 reward for capture of the beast. A famous 1934 photograph showed a dinosaur-like creature with a long neck emerging out of the murky waters, leading some to speculate that Nessie was a solitary survivor of the long-extinct plesiosaurs. Since then a succession of investigators have employed devices from sonar to underwater video trying to find definitive proof of the Loch Ness Monster's existence. Revelations in 1994 that the famous 1934 photo was a hoax hardly dampened the enthusiasm of tourists to Loch Ness.
