Looks like I'll miss out on my first Big Crank Ride.

Big Cranks start your engines!

Reminder: It is time to start our "spring" (yea, uh, spring) riding season
with our annual Crankcicles ride this coming Sunday, February 15th. We
hope our new members will join us for this festive intro to the club.

We will meet at 10:00am (on the dot!) at Steinberg Skating Rink parking
lot in Forest Park. It will be an easy going morning with a bunch of bundled up
Crankies looping around the park once or twice.

Then we will descend upon the St. Louis Coffee Oasis and Mediterranean Restaurant
to warm up and congratulate ourselves for being crazy enough to ride in this weather.

Bundle up with lots of synthetic or wool layers - lots of wind protection too - especially your head, fingers and toes. 

As with all Big Crank rides, helmets are required and flamboyance is at your discretion. 
And, yes -  you are not dreaming - there is a button to be earned here.

Hold on to your chilly butts!
