Labor Day Ride
Spokesmen (minus one founding father Donut), with special guest and tour guide, Mr. Wes Steed, took a ride around Midtown and East Sac in the AM hours on Monday, holiday. The ride culminated in a stop at the fine Tupelo to stay hydrated. Or does coffee de-hydrate? So in total we rode something like 94 miles (with a missing decimal point in there somewhere). My chain fell off once, but no other hazards to speak of, unless one speaks of insects flying into eyes.Friday, September 4, 2009

Best of Times**
We just got back from our latest ride and had a great opportunity to MEET and GREET with Dennis DeYoung from STYX!! Can you believe it?
The band is currently on tour and playing nightly at the California State Fair. Of course, we all gathered up the wives and rocked hard to a sampling of all of their greatest jams the opening night of the fair. What made this even better was that Brian had won backstage passes for all of us to meet the band from a contest put on by 96.9 The Eagle. Thanks Eagle! We couldn't help but mention our fun loving bike club to the guys and we were so surprised to find out that Dennis DeYoung is an avid rider, too! He thought it might be a great way to pass the time during his stay in Sacramento and joined us on a 10 mile loop of the American River Bike Trail and followed the amazing ride up with some great food at Adalbertos. We even brought along an extra club uniform for Dennis to wear and had somebody take our picture. We couldn't wait to share it with all of our readers and fans alike. Thank you Dennis for taking us on the ride of our lives. It truly was The Best of Times!

whammy
How about some shots of the gear: Guitars, amps, pedals, percussion what have you? Here's a shot of the Jaguar I have on long term loan and the infamous tremelo. I was just reading Brian's MBV propoganda booklet (33 1/3) about Kevin Shields claiming his sound is all about the tremelo.
