I met the son of a good friend on Sunday. His dad and I started a youth soccer league in the late 70’s, and we became not only commissioners, but also pretty good friends. Both of our boys played against and with each other through high school I hadn’t seen Jim Jr., ( who lived in DC and now in WV), in years. While catching up, I mentioned that I would be in Europe in two weeks. One of the cities I’m visiting is Bruges. That got him talking about a movie he found to be “brilliant”. “In Bruges”

Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.

It about two assassins on vacation in Bruges. It has violence. It has profanity. It has religious overtones. It’s funny and it’s is brilliant.

Ride was a bit casual. 13 miles in two and a half hours. 255 on bikes of all shapes and sizes in Providence, RI to celebrate Earth Day. Some of whom kind of had a separate celebration at the city park dance parties. Weed is earthy, right? And hops. And barley. And grain. You get the picture. Or just watch the video.

Friday Night.

Calling cyclists of all ages and skill levels! If you’ve ever wanted to join a group ride, but felt there were too many speed or spandex requirements, we’ve got you covered. Come join our casual, monthly night ride where we roll through the city, playing music along the way! Rides are typically @10 miles or so and we try to end someplace for drinks and socializing afterwards. We follow the rules of the road, as long as it’s safe to do so. Come have fun!

Expect two hundred (give or take) riders for this popular event.

Met some friends in East Providence, RI for Bike Fall River’s monthly ride. If you like to ride your bike in howling wind, you would have loved this ride.

FULL MOON BIKE RIDE. Friday April 15

Northern Native Americans call April’s full moon the pink moon after a species of early blooming wildflower. In other cultures, this moon is called the sprouting grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon.

After watching the forecasts closely it looks like the weather will be cooperating on Friday so…
