Motley Crüezers

I just did a look-back and realized that we only pulled off three rides in 2022 and one ride in 2023! My work sked was tough. They’ve all been so much fun and I’m hoping to be able to get back to monthly rides. Stay tuned!

Scorching Earth yesterday
MC Ride was a great success on a beautiful 60° January Sunday

Just rode our route this morning
A little more condensed for winter sunlight - 10 miles of urban bicycling zen
We’ll stop at Raices Brewing, Jagged Mountain Brewing and Park Ave Tacos.
Shorter and more active feeling and scenic legs.

We pull out at 13:00 from Benedict Fountain Park
59° and full sun!

HEY KIDZ We are rollin’! 1/28
Let’s get lubed and pumped!
The eight day forecast is looking real nice Clark.
Updates this week with time and route. Can’t wait!

Hey KidZ,
potential gang ride on January 28, depending on dry streets, so don’t be putting your whips in the rafters! Check your tires, check your bolts and spray silicon on your chains. I’ll keep ya updated!

Hey kidZ, Raices Brewery - one of our favorites - now offers a limited cocktail bar, bomb-ass Argentinian empanadas from La Cocina de Lucho in Aurora, Colorado wines from Bonacquisti Wine Co, aaaaaaand a guest tap from Reina Mora Brewery in Puerto Rico! 🇲🇽 🇵🇷 🇦🇷 Jeremy and I are taking a break from tweaking some new route structure and loving it!

No bike ride tomorrow

We’re rollin
Saturday afternoon 9/16 at 16:00
I have four friends coming in from Seattle who want to experience a ride with Motley Cruezers.

Well, everyone’s safe.
the devil said a storm is coming, and normally I laugh and say I am the storm, but today I said well Motley Cruezers are going inside. Then he crushed our table and my bike.

Either a tornado, microburst or extremely high wind slammed us at Waldeshanke Ciders and the scaffolding at the apartment building construction site next door fell on Waldeshanke. 4 of us were at the outdoor table that took the hit of all the hits. The wind was so high that we ran inside. I was first through the door and as the fourth came through with the bartender struggling to hold it open, the crash hit. The wind roared like a tornado but we’re on a tree lined residential east facing hillside so nobody saw whether there was actually a tornado. PS addendum, Jess, airline pilot and mother of 4 children at the scene looked out the square port window in the steel back door and said the wind was spinnng counterclockwise no question about it.
My bike was next to our table and it is now wall art. (Sue and I might have to talk about that).
Nobody got hurt. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got hurt.
Waldeshanke owners and employees reacted so fast and did everything right. They moved us in and away from the windows into the brewing area, no fooling around NOW. Their cinderblock building held and the permanent food truck was anchored professionally. It held.
We’re all safe. We’re all freaked.
Jake, their newest bartender SAVED OUR LIVES. He pulled down the garage door to the patio then opened the steel door and yelled his loudest to us right in front of him to get through this door just after I yelled “we have to go around!”
I was the first one through the door and as the fourth guy came through with Jake struggling to hold it open, the crash happened

I was out straightening the curves on the new route Friday evening when this storm roared into town totally unforcast. I had to get pictures but I pushed my luck (naturally) until the wind and rain were hitting me then I pedaled from RiNo to Parker’s in Uptown like I heard the ice cream man four blocks away. I was coming up Marion, lighting and rainbow over my left shoulder, crazy high winds and Zach had most of the staff running umbrellas and chairs inside, he spotted me-the rain practically at my spurs and I screamed up the street “HELL’Z COMING WITH MEEEEE!” And I rode my bike into the bar.
