meet at 6:30pm, roll at 7!
Do you love Ben Folds Five? Were you a teenager in the mid-late 90's obsessed with piano rock? Did you join the email listserv "The Magical Armchair" before Reddit was even invented? Do you love bikes? Do you love to mix in circles, cliques, and social coteries (that's me)? Honestly you don't need to be any of these things, but if you are even one of these things you should definitely join in on the fun on the Ben Folds Five Ride! We'll ride through town blasting ALL the Ben Folds Five GOLD from their self-titled album, Naked Baby Photos, and Whatever and Ever Amen, and a few from the concept album: The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. We'll be singing along loudly to gems such as "Underground", "Emaline", "Jackson Cannery", "Philosophy", "Kate", "and "Song for the Dumped", reminiscing on the good old days of the early years, exchanging live show stories, and just generally enjoying collective BF5 and bikey merriment. Easyish ride including a park stop - bring snacks and beverages and your undying love for Ben Folds Five. PS: I'll lead the ride slower this year, last year I was too excited and went too fast. Can't wait to see you there!
