Dah dah donuts!

All hail the late night donut ride! Tonight (yes, short notice, I know), there will be a biking adventure taking place to John Donuts in Soulard, which opens with fresh baked goodies at 11 pm. It's a great 7 mile ride each way, and we'll be heading there nice and slow and friendly.

Meet up at Kayak's at 10:30 pm, with lights and helmets and all! If you can't make it tonight...more rides to come soon! But there's nothing like a fresh-baked boston creme in the middle of the night....yumm.

PS. There will also be some slacklining outside of Graham chapel this afternoon at 4 pm. Try if you dare!

Dancing anyone?

Biking time...

Will Bike for Food is back! For those of you who don't know us, this group was started last spring as a way to get people together to get off campus for some good biking and good eating. It went on this summer, and we did some sweet stuff and took some sweet trips around the city. But to get to the point...

Will Bike for Food is going to the Dancing in the Street & Off the Wall Festival on Grand this Saturday! It's outdoors, there is dancing to watch (or join), and with delicious FOOD as well (for sale).

We'll be meeting at 3:15 PM, at the corner of Skinker and Forsyth (forest park side). We'll take a nice, leisurely 4 mile ride to the festival in time to see Project Bandaloop (http://projectbandaloop.org/)

, and do some meandering around. I'm sure we all have lots of work to do, so we'll probably head back to be home by 5:15 or so.

For more info about the festival, see: http://www.grandcenter.org/shows_events/?event=42

Feel free to pass this along, and I hope to see you Saturday!

Also, for anyone interested, Greenpeace is putting on a bike ride tomorrow starting at 3:30 to protest the G20 summit:

moonlight rambling!

Courtesy of Sam Fok, we're getting together a Will Bike for Food moonlight ramble team...here's the low down:

Fellow Bikers/Humans!

The end of summer is nigh, and the Moonlight Ramble is near! If you've never heard about it, the Moonlight Ramble is a gigantonormotacular nighttime bike ride fundraiser with 10,000+ riders in St. Louis. It will be during the night between the first Saturday/Sunday after school starts, August 29/30th so nobody can say they wont be here!
http://www.moonlightramble.org/ramble/

Will Bike for Food will be skirting the $30 general entrance fee by volunteering for the event! In fact, they'll even give us free t-shirts and free food for volunteering! And if we get 10 or more volunteers together (which should be no problem!) they'll even give Will Bike for Food, get this, a FRAMED, COMMEMORATIVE CERTIFICATE!!! H-O-L-Y M-O-L-Y.

For sign up, go to http://www.moonlightramble.org/signup_volunteer.aspx and fill out the form.
Since we're in a big group, you don't need to put too much time into the "Volunteer Experience" box.
Be sure to check off at least the following in the "Tell Us The Position/s For Which You're Most Skilled (check all that apply)" section:

• Route Marshal
• Set Up

And, most importantly!!!!!!!! copy & paste the following into the "Additional Information" section:
I am with the WashU Will Bike for Food group.
This is the only way the moonlight ramble people will know that we are a group since we're not filling out a formal group application because it'd be hard to get all the waivers in one location.

The bottom of your form should look like the attached screenshot!!!!!!!!!

Invite your friends, enemies, and mere acquaintances alike! oh and let me know if you're in.

recent will bike adventures

local harvest...highly recommended



crowding in at Crown Candy...

local and delicious

In honor of the gorgeous weather this weekend, let's go biking. Will Bike for Food will be making our way to Local Harvest (http://www.localharvestcafe.com/), for some lunch-time eats. It is all local and fun and delicious, and a quick seven mile ride there.

Meet at the History Museum at noon tomorrow, and be hungry! Bring your bicycles and helmets (and a bag if you want to buy something from the local harvest grocery). Nom nom!

candy and crowns

Time for another Wednesday night will bike for food! We're heading to Crown Candy kitchen in north St. Louis, a delicious and awesome place that has been around since 1913. Get hungry for some XL milkshakes...mmmm.

It's a quick 6.5 mile ride there, and we'll take our time getting back as to not upset our deliciously full bellies. Mobot or checking out the new sculpture park are also options for anyone who's interested afterward.

We're meeting at the history museum at 5:30 pm, and will be heading down Lindell from there. It will be on some bigger roads than usual, so wear a helmet if you have one. Bring some cash for dinner/milkshakes/candy as well.

Although there will be some biking going on the night before, don't let that keep you from coming out and enjoying some great stl food and riding.

Hope to see you there!

midsummer night

Sophia:it's amazing all of the things we accomplished in 5 hours

11:49 AM usually it seems like you would lose time biking places, having so many people, etc

11:52 AM me: true

we biked, lemonaded, marketed, friended, potlucked (pretty much), dined, hung out at mobot, met people, and listened to music

11:53 AM impressive

Sophia: exactly
