It was a fun night.  Phil M and John O were solid company for a night of beer, food and talking until 9.  Great to see you guys.  I have a feeling we resolved some world issues, but that hefeweizen memory has a half-life of about two hours.
Absolutely open to other great venues near and far, and I like the suggesting of mixing it up to meet teammates working and living in different areas.

Hey Gang. 
I'm switching up the venue for this one, and plan on trying to have these socials in different places.  

In order to accommodate our teammates who live Upstate, or, from a Brooklyn perspective, North of 14th Street, we'll be meeting this coming Thursday, 2/7, from 6-8pm at

The Scratcher, 209 E 5th St, Manhattan

We've met there before and it's a great, low key place to hang out, have a drink, and catch up.

Please join Phil and me.

And bonus, I'll bring a Large race jersey for anyone who wants to try the size, since the store is currently open.  I have a couple of different types of jerseys, so will bring those along so you can see what the differences are like.

If anyone wants to try on a medium or small, please give a shout out here and see if anyone has something they can bring.

Stop by to say hello to teammates who may be wearing awesome kit underneath their 'other' work clothes.

First Thursdays!

Come stop by for a drink and some food.  We will be discussing Thierry's new KOM duties, how a wake-up time may determine whether or not you sign up for a specific race, the fit and feel of Kask, and the benefits of tegaderm.

May 2nd, and still waiting for spring.

Happy June!

Let's have another social gathering.  Pretty excited that these gatherings are going strong.

This time, we'll meet up at Pig Beach, with outdoor seating, bbq and beer.  

If you haven't been riding as much as you'd like, then stop on by to meet up with teammates and get the inspiration you need.  If you've been riding a lot but forget that wheel in front of you is ridden by an actual person with a job and family, stop by to see their faces without streamlined sunglasses, remind yourself that they have hair (or are bald!), shake a hand that more than likely doesn't have a layer of snot on the thumb rag.

As far as I know, they don't take kindly to bikes being brought onto the premises, but there are places to lock a bike up in the area.  My commuter will be friendly with a sign post for a few hours.

Pig Beach - 6-8pm, Thursday 6/6.  480 Union St.

By the way, I do eat meat but I had one of those new meatless burgers at a bbq over the weekend and it was delicious.  And it was bleeding, which was a little odd.  None of us at the bbq knew it was meatless until the host told us.  It was a reveal party, veggie Brooklyn style.
