Beer + bikes + betting = Irresponsible Fun?
In a town that seems to love happy hour, and bikes, and gambling, I don't know why I've had so much trouble seeing an idea of mine come to life.
Here it is. I have a bike. It's nice, I suppose, but that's not the point at all. I want to race to random, undetermined bars against other people on bikes, with the loser buying drinks. I am not set on the details yet and am open to ideas, but in my unemployed mind, I daydream something like this:
Two or more people meet in Laurelhurst Park at 9pm, put pieces of paper with different names of bars in a hat, pick one, and race to it. No set route. Whoever loses buys the drinks. Maybe this continues until someone breaks something? And considering my current state of unemployment, I am more than happy to have a $1 PBR be my prize for winning or my punishment for losing. Or something else.
It should be said that I have a nicer bike with a completely fucked front rim that I'm still riding. If you want to show in all your bike gear with your carbon fiber bike, that's fine. If you want to come on your bmx in a dress, that's cool too. I love racing, but I'm not taking it very seriously. I mean, my rim is fucked, so take that for what it's worth. If I can get 1 person to do this, I'd be happy. If 50 show up, I think we could work with that also.
And I'm definitely open to ideas, as long as it involves bikes, beer and randomness.
Exactly. I thought about trying to drum up some support there, but I figured I'd just be scolded and given a lesson on proper form of my right turn signal.
