Down-winder and Night Ride

October 21, 2010 by
THE WIND IS BACK!!!

Finally the wind is back on the Texas coast; it came a little late this year but will hopefully bring a long and windy fall, winter, and spring season.  To kick it off we’re doing a down wind ride followed by a night Ride TONIGHT (22oct10) at the Levee riding area in Texas city. 

The Plan:
We will meet up at the Levee to car pool out to the end of the dike for a 6-7mi down-wind ride back to the Levee at dusk (leave levee at 5:45 pm).  Following the ride we’ll be riding at the Levee until after dark.  Please bring glow sticks, costumes, whatever you want to spice it up.  Maybe if we make a good show the wind gods will bless us for the rest of the season :)  

Details:

Meet and load up at the at Levee at 5:45pm to mobilize for dusk down-wind ride. Drive and rig at the spot near the end of the dike. Finish at the Levee at dark or a little after and ride till we get sick of it.  Use good judgement about your skill level; the ride is quite long so make sure you’re comfortable in deep water, have safe equipment, and most importantly have a buddy to keep an eye on you and vise versa.  This is NOT an offical event of any kind; you are responsible for your own safety.

See you tonight at the Levee!  -Phil
