Erick R will be going in for surgery shortly and won’t be able to ride for a quite a while after the operation. Let’s get together this Friday (29th) for a little Pub Pedal fun with Erick to help lift his spirits.
Why Friday and not the usual Thursday you ask?
Well the temperature looks pretty good for Friday plus it’s Leap Day. The chance to Pub Pedal on the 29th of February only comes around once every 4 years.

The usual place and time – Shamrock at 7:00pm.

Oh and I just realized it’s also Final Friday.

Our friends the Spokesman bicycle club in KC have some bikes on display at the World Of Wheels show this weekend. More photos here…

Eric W. sent some photos he found that he’d taken last year. Thought I’d pass them along…

Ed was there and snapped these photos of the OCC gang and the Viega chopper.

Received the following from Jon in KC…

“Was wondering if you or anyone was interested in showing your bikes in the World of Wheels car show in February? The cost is $50.00 for 3 bikes or $20 a bike, three bike deals better. the guy who has been putting on the Greaseramma here in town has been chosen to do a special section of “WoW”. There calling it EXTREME its going to be all Rat Rod and low buck cars,motorcycles and non-production bicycles i.e. build it up yourself bikes but in the ratrod garage built theme… let me know if interested there less than a month till it starts and should be a good time. If anyone wants to enter they’ll need to send in pics of there bikes. Ill get you the info when I find out if anyone’s going to show up. ps.
