First FBC of 2017!

January 11th, 2017! 8pm-ish!

Come meet us at The Grafton, 4530 N. Lincoln Ave. It will be cold but they have hot toddies! 

It's the Full Wolf Moon! Meet, eat, drink and howl!

We plan to have a park stop so bring the woolys and the fleeces.

Cold Moon

Cold Moon lived up to it's name with a thick layer of crunchy snow on the ground and feels like -7 temperatures at meeting time.

FBC lost a friend a few days before the ride. So the ride was dedicated to our friend and people poured out for hugging, consoling, sharing stories and drinks.

Apple Schnapps

A toast

Most people chose to leave in warm vehicles after the bar but a few rode on to Village Tap. 

Cold butts

1am full moon shot on Roscoe, not a car or bike in sight. A few confused smokers to our right. 

December Ride

Tuesday, December 13th!

Meet at Laschet's Inn, 2119 W. Irving Park Rd.

We ride and celebrate December's Full Cold Moon.

Last full moon of the year! Be there or be square.

Beaver Moon

I missed all opportunities for Beaver Moon jokes and I apologize for that.

What makes for a good park stop? Good view of the moon? Hidden from streets? How about

BEES!

The bees were sleeping/dead but we still had

BOOGER TREES

Or sap leaking. 

We saw a good photo op close to the gross trees and bees so we stopped for some photos. 

Someone had feelings about people not participating in the photo

After that we went through a bunch of alleys and no one got a flat! We found some real good junk. 

Still in the plastic!

Just missing a motor

The alley led to 439 Nightclub which was strangely quiet. So we took over the jukebox. 

We had to head back north so we had just enough time for one more stop. We had exactly 10 minutes to order and finish our drinks before Ola was finished with us. 

And now your moment of Zen

November Ride

Next ride is Monday, November 14th!

We meet at E-Z Inn, 921 N. Western.

Not to be confused with an athletic endeavor, we meet for a couple of drinks and ride to another dive somewhere with a park stop along the way. Meet up at 8, ride at 9. Destination is always TBA. See you there.

Hunter's Moon

Anyone else watching American Horror Story? They know all about fucked up things happening during the full moon.

We started at Red Lion, home of spotted dick jokes and fried fish.

Then we took a meandering ride to a spot down by the river.



No one did any sick tricks in the Garden but we did hide from the moon in the trees.




And we decided this would be a good location to take our photo.



We took the pic on a ramp which gave it a nice "field of asses" look.

After that we headed to Lizard's Liquid Lounge for surprise karaoke! I unsurprisingly massacred a song but others saved our group with some Weezer and Jane's Addiction.

Lots of skull themed artwork

There was one song that I haven't seen in a karaoke book before and it decided to lodge itself in my head all week. So I share it with you. 

October Ride

Next ride is Saturday, October 15th!

We meet at 8pm at Red Lion Lincoln Square, 4749 N Rockwell. There are multiple Red Lions, make sure you go to the right one!

We meet, eat, drink, socialize, ride, and repeat...there will be a park stop, a surprise destination, and as usual, a great photo opportunity! As the cold weather has descended, and because we have not done so in a while, there is a good chance that the ride will head in the direction of warmer temperatures (or at least there is likely to be someone blowing hot air by the end of the evening). It is a weekend, so there could also be a bonus stop.
