Hey hey,
So it seems like Saturday morning might nor work for most people... Hangovers do suck, and 11am is quite early... ;) But you totally missed out! La Vallesana was by far the best (Americanized) Mexican food I've had in St. Louis! The burritos were truly great, and the ride itself was fantastic.
This week we will be going to Blues City Deli on THURSDAY night, leaving at 5:15 from the DUC. It's supposed to be a BOMB sandwich shop, with live jazz. It's only open at lunch, except for on Thursdays! As for the route, since it is 9 miles there, I'm going to have us take the Metrolink back. The total mileage will be around 11.
So again...
Restaurant: Blues City Deli
Date: Thursday, April 16
When: Meet at 5:00, Leave at 5:15
Where: Meet at the DUC on the Forsyth side
Route There
Route back to Civic Center
I hope to see you there!

La Vallesana on SATURDAY for lunch (4/11, 11AM)
Hello again bike-ies/foodies,
Last Friday we had our largest group yet (11 via bike and 2 via car) at Everest. We had our own little back room, and the food was great. If you weren't able to go, be sure to visit Everest soon. Remarkably, handling the check was easy too! Thanks everyone!
This week we will be doing something different. We'll be going to La Vallesana on Cherokee for Lunch on Saturday. This is mainly because the costumed Full Moon Fiasco (http://fuckingbikeclub.blogspot.com) is on Thursday night, and I don't want people to be too tired or biked-out for the food ride.
La Vallesana is supposed to be a fantastic Mexican restaurant. The ride will be longer (~17 miles), but we'll go at a slower pace. Don't worry about the distance! And for you to ponder: How could we ride our burrito-powered vehicles without occasionally eating burritos? Anyway......
Restaurant: La Vallesana (Yelp)
Time: 11AM at the DUC. Leave at 11:15. Back by 2-2:30pm.
Route there - 8.5 miles: Google1
Route Back - 8.5 miles: GoogleBack
That's all. I hope to see you all there! If you have any questions...jay.werber@gmail.com

Everest (Nepalese) on April 3rd
Hello hello!
Last night, 5 of us biked through the Hill to and back on Southwest Ave. to get to Schlafly Bottleworks. 3 friends joined us by there by car. The food was great, and the beer even better. Our waitress was out of it, but everything else was perfect. I rode back with a gallon of beer strapped to my back (American Pale Ale and Cherry Cider), and am enjoying the APA right now.
Next Friday, April 3rd, we will be going to Everest Cafe for some Nepalese food. It's located in Forest Park Southeast and is supposed to be pretty great. The ride will be around 4.5 miles each way, and will be really flat. Please come and bring your friends! As normal, we will meet at the DUC on the Forsyth side at 5:00 and leave promptly at 5:15.

3/27 Ride to Schlafly Bottleworks
Last week's initial ride to Sweetie Pie's on Manchester was great! 6 of us cruised on a beautiful evening, and enjoyed a whole boatload of great soul food. I had four sides (okra, sweet potatoes, corn, and mac & cheese), cornbread, and catfish. It was sooooo good.
Anyway, this week we will be going to Schlafly Bottleworks! I've always wanted to go there, and I figured this would be a good time. I would like to leave a tad earlier this time, meaning 5:15 leaving time. Soooo...info:

Welcome to Will Bike For Food!
Howdy! This group is an informal "gathering" of students and others interested in biking to great restaurants in St. Louis. We get together in front of the Danforth University Center every Friday to ride around 10 miles round trip, with a great meal along the way. It's a great way to explore the great city of St. Louis, and break the WashU Bubble.
Feel free to comment and such on anything. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jay W at jrw8@cec.wustl.edu.
Cheers!
