WAR LXXVIII - Rain dance

So I am up pretty early because my daughter is having tubes put in her ears. So, I'm getting the ride out now.

Some decention in the crowd. Some want to got to blues on the green to see suzanna chofell and the bright light social hour. Others just want to ride around and drink beer.

So, let's just meet in the middle and decide.

Meet: the local. Formally little woodys, formally the showdown. On guad.

Meet today at 6pm. Ride leaves at 7pm. Sharp. Bring it.

WAR LXXVII - Bob on the Green

WAR 77 folks. We will pay tribute to Austin's own Bob Schneider who opens this season's Blues on the Green. Bob was the first live show I ever saw in Austin - Joe Rockhead - Student Union Ballroom - 1993. After that I remember slamming leftover beers at Scholtz's at a Lounge Lizards show...and thousands of live shows later, we meet again, Mr. Schneider.

Meet at Woody's on 6th at 6pm. Ride leaves promptly at 7pm so we can get a good ride in before we hit BOTG at Zilker. There will be a stop for refreshments to bring to the big show.

See you there, Tarantulas.

WAR LXXVI - Ode to the master (haha)

The original bike dude. He was friends with hard cores, like Chairy.

He drank tequila.

He danced on bars.

He rode bikes.

He....is one of us.

Let's pay tribute to the man, the myth, the Pee Wee.

Meet at The Pour House at 6:00pm. Ride leaves at 7pm and we will go all the way to Top Notch, for burgers and Pee Wee. It is BYOB, so, we'll have to make a pit stop.

Be there...and don't reveal the secret word.

WAR LXXV - East meets West

<-- The Taj Mahal


This weeks WAR will be a cultural blending of East and West. The focus will be a full tour of Lady Bird Lake before the flesh eating bats return from Mexico and fight for airspace with the tourists.


MEET: 5/18 - Wed - Garage Mahal
6pm if you want to eat, 7pm if you want to ride.
If you never eaten Indian food at the Garage, I suggest you do. It is awesome.

From there we will spin around the lake in search of beer.

Bring a light, lock and friends.

WAR LXXIV - Choose your own advernture!

So, it turns out that The Fearless Leader and The Little General will be in southwest Texas tonight on a fishing trip. But, Uncle Charlton (everyone's favorite "touchy" Uncle) has volunteered to lead the WAR. The ride must go on.

So, I leave it to you, gentle rider. Where will you ride tonight? Where will you drink? So many decisions. It is up to you...choose your own adventure.

If you want to go to Shoal Creek turn to page 72
If you want to go to The Crown & Anchor turn to page 61

Decisions, decisions......

Planning is ride isn't easy is it?

Here, I'll help out.

Meet at Uncle Billy's Brew n Que on Barton Springs.
Get there at 6pm, have some dinner, and join in the Brewery Tour (which features free beer at the end).
Ride leaves at 7pm on the dot.

Bring a light, lock and your decision making helmet.


MEET: 5/4 - Uncle Billy's 6pm Dinner, 7pm Depart.

WAR LXXIII - Easter Egg

<--Having a beer with my peeps.


Well, this weekend is Easter, where we honor the resurrection of our savior by gorging on chocolate and hiding eggs. Also, I like to microwave peeps.

I also like to drink beer. And ride bikes.

So, in honor of Easter, I've created a non-secular ride this week.

We will start off at Cuatro's. Because four of the disciples spoke Spanish. I don't know. They have good tacos and cold beer. Work with me peeps. (Or you get the microwave)

Next, we will we head to Abel's, partly because his brother killed him, and partly because they have a decent beer selection.

Finally, we will resurrect poor, dead Abel, when we head to Cain & Abel's to enjoy a happier time of brotherly love. You know...before the stabbing. (Although, he DID tell him not to touch his fucking Legos)

Meet: Wed, 4/20 6pm Cuatro's (24th+San Gabriel) Ride departs at 7pm (SHARP!)


The peeps on the street are saying that the fearless leader might actually show this week.

WAR LXXII - The Deuce

In honor of WAR's 72nd ride, we are going to salute the number 2. The two. The deuce. Dos. 1+1.

So, meet at Hut's Hamburgers at 6pm where it is 2 for 1 burger night. For those of your doing math, that means burgers are half price if you show with a friend, or a good deal if you are really hungry.

Ride departs at 7pm sharp. Bring a friend, or two.
