On the occasion of the 135th birthday of Rube Goldberg, we invite you to build a component to add to a giant contraption that we will set off and make videos of. Prizes will be given for the most bike parts used, most lights/fireworks (it is the 4th, afterall), most surprising component, and biggest laugh generated.Location and details to be determined, but I'm considering Northerly Island or along the South LSP so we can watch fireworks and grill and have ample room to spread out.See More

Its been a while....Come on out Thursday night and play some cards - My poker chips are getting rusty so its time to put them to use.  Poker, Euchre or whatever you want goes.  It should be amazing out this week and what a better way to end the evening by riding over, playing some cards, enjoying the cheese frattata (I wont be making that FYI, it just sounded nice to say) and drinking some spirits.See you on Thursday!See More
