Comment by John Greenfield on June 28, 2009 at 6:30pm: Thanks everybody for showing up. Despite the rain it was a fabulous evening - everyone looked great, the tunes were exceedingly smooth and the libations were choice. Maybe we can do this again later this summer.

Anyone have photos to share?

Comment by Daniel Villarreal on June 26, 2009 at 9:41pm: This is an awesome idea, unfortunately my ass is broke.

Comment by John Greenfield on June 26, 2009 at 2:01am: Of course you can wear a helmet. The ladies from http://letsgorideabike.wordpress.com will likely be sporting stylish Nutcase helmets.

As for casual dress, I won't turn anyone away but Nomi is a pretty fancy place - you'll want to dress to impress.

Collared shirt (long or short sleeves) with necktie and slacks (more comfortable than jeans in the heat) will do nicely.

Cheers,

John Greenfield

Comment by Jennifer on June 26, 2009 at 12:15am: Can I wear my helmet?

Comment by Joe Sak on June 25, 2009 at 3:48pm: But I am interested in meeting the Summer Babes XD

Comment by Joe Sak on June 25, 2009 at 3:47pm: So, I can wear jeans/shorts, tennies, a t-shirt and a neck-tie? I'm just not that interested in riding my bike dressed up in the summer heat.

Comment by da' Square Wheelman (aka garth) on June 23, 2009 at 10:37am: You're quite welcome. I also took the liberty of sending notice to the folks at sftweed! I'm sure they'll post it.
