Ride Summary: The best way to spend any Friday the 13th is to get hokey flash tattoos for dirt cheap. The second best way is to ride your bike up to the bluffs and go “shh-shh-shh” at the water treatment plant. Since it’s hard out there nowadays for the $13 tattoo, we’ll be doing the latter. Afterwards…blah blah blah…nightcaps at Public House.

This’ll be a 21+ ride.

If you’ve never been up to the Bluffs…it’s one of the tougher climbs in town and the last bit is gravel, so be prepared to put some work in.

BRING LIGHTS.
