8th Gathering - The Standard / The Earl

Santiago had the idea for a ride last friday, which we started at the Standard. Above Santiago and Tim consult with Natasha (from St Pete, Russia) on the finer points of Z6P culture, since this was her first ride with us.


Shortly after this photo of Bree contemplating life was taken, we all headed off to the Earl through the neighborhood of Grant Park... it was quite lovely to see the gang ride in formation.

As soon as we arrived at the Earl there was a massive downpour. We tried to wait it out while listening to Ponderosa and Tom Collins in the back room, but it keep comin' down.

Eventually I went and got my van for safe transport home... not sure if that's cheating.

7th Gathering - Brewhouse / Thinking Man's / Leon's Full Service

We reconvened at the Brew House where our organization was founded, this time in much greater numbers. In particular we were happy to have Melodie and Gary ride for the first time.



We then rode in an easterly direction through Candler Park, where a few of us got separated. We caught the Stone Mtn bike path and rested up at Thinking Man's Pub.





It was with great pride that I wore the Z6P shirt that Andy got me!

We concluded at Leon's Full Service where we got off to a rough start with the waitress but the food won us over!
