We haven't had one of those for a while!
How about Saturday night, as in the night into Sunday?
Friday is the pub crawl and I doubt that anyone will be capable or willing to get on a bike afterwards, myself included.
Any takers?

    That's exactly my plan for the weekend. Hopefully with some daytime activities as well. Maybe I'll be ...(cough) sick on Tuesday. I mean...work from home...

    I recommend getting some sleep early in the evening on Sunday and getting up at 2 or 3 am to go to Jouvert.

    Midnight ride should be a slow lap or two or three around Prospect Park, generally followed by repose to Franklin Park.

    I should be down for this one.

    Argh- I hate when they do that! It makes it so much less dramatic.

    The arch, people! It's all about the arch!

    Sigh..../rant

    I am _so_ NOT riding around again at midnight if I don't get to see people in spandex!

    I will not be SEEN with him wearing the spandex. Just. No.
    And you don't want to see that either. [-X :lol:

    Red bike. Black backpack. Met a bunch of you about three weeks back on the ride to Riis Park.

    Really looking forward to this ride too !

    Enjoy.

    Welcome back! We thought we scared you off for good!

    This ride is more like 3,4 miles as opposed to 34 like last time. Just sayin'!

    If we continue the tradition we should all get matching spandex suits. Like the tour-de-france crazies you see racing through the park in the mornings. When I run my 3 miles with 2 interruptions they pass me about 9 times. Shame on me, but hey, I have more fun in the end.

    Make sure you wait for us UNDER the arch this time, not at the park entrance... ;)

    one of you readers with too much time on your hands should create a photoshop version of a bike uniform with a chicken ring and beer logo.

    there are likely some potential buyers represented among us.

    Well, I don't particularly want to see _myself_ in spandex, BUT- perhaps I would look rather fetching, and not at all like what MeredithB posted.

    So there.
