Greetings followers of the urban riderz blog. It's been a while, but they're back! After a two year hiatus Anders and Aaron have returned to the streets of the world in steazy fashion. Let's hear what Mr. Martinson has to say on the situation, but first toss this sound into the air:
"Hey what's up. I guess Anders and I are going to blog again. Not much to say for myself other than the bird is't the word anymore. The new word is 'winter biking'. We've started to do group rides every Saturday called Fire and Ice.
Its all about exploring Minneapolis and the surrounding urban community. Every ride has a destination where we build a fire, listen to the latest tunes, cook some local butcher shoppe delicacies, and chat it up beer in hand. I want to give a shout out to the founder of fire and ice, Anders Borg Hanson. He's the one who got us off our hibernating asses.
Unfortunately he ditched us this weekend to participate in the Lutsen Mountain big air contest where he earned an honorary bronze metal for most dedicated bro. That deserves a round of applause.
Even without our great leader and the majority of the fire and ice crew, spirits were high for a fun ride. Saturday Feb. 9 marked the date of weekend ride number 4. Joe Lund, Sam Litin, and I set out to find a new semi-secretive hang out spot near hidden beach on Lake of the Isle. The first place we scoped out off the Cedar Lake Trail was kind of a dud.
The next spot we found was prime. Secluded, scenic, and an abundance of dead wood.
Veni, Vidi, et Comedebamus. For all my Latin lovers out there that's we came we saw, we ate brats roasted over the fire. The hidden beach fire site was a little piece of heaven where we were only interrupted by curious dogs drawn to our positive vibes. We spent three hours enjoying the day before we packed out and rode home.
Winter biking folks, as told by Marty himself. The Urban Riderz are back and better than before, or so it seems. There's a lot to be excited about if you're into this stuff.
The Urban Riderz have put together some plans for future posts:
1. Fire and Ice member profiles: get to know the fire and ice crew; who they are, what hair products they use, and the steamy details of their love lives
2. Guest writers
3. A ridiculously awesome video montage of all fire and ice rides coming Spring 2014
4. Downloadable playlists inspired by biking?
Thanks to all of those who have read up to this point for this post.
A parting word from the wise:
It would be nice if people were more like hobbits.
