Sat Aug 5th: Bike Wash and Board Games Party to support Kitty’s Climate Ride

[Kitty]

Hey all, thank YOU for being such an awesome gang of friends and personifications of this broader cycling community!

I had an absolute blast! (Despite probably waiting too long to leave and was very tired riding home). Thanks to Emm for hosting, Emm and Judd for the idea, and everyone who came!

Total event take (donations across all platforms): $153! A bunch of which going to help the funds of fellow TeamWABA members who need a bit more help going into the final weeks of fundraising.

Thank you all again! 😎

Thanks again to everyone who came over. Outside of the fact that I had to spend all day Sunday comforting Nimitz after Steve O rejected his doggy kisses, the bike wash and board games party was a ton of fun.

Seriously though–I love hosting people and you are all a truly wonderful group of friends, so I’m more than happy to have everyone over again for an Exploding Kittens or Velocipedes against Humanity rematch in the future. And best of luck finishing up your fundraising Kitty! I’m glad we were able to help a few more riders get towards their goal.

Just think of his trauma had Steve O embraced the hound!

Have fun, take lots of pictures, and someone please kindly post the most outlandish Cards Against Humanity combinations that are made!

Ack! We forgot to take pictures. We played the bike version (Cards against Velocipedes. Or Velocipedes against Humanity. Or Velocicards against Humanipedes. Or something)

There were a number that were pretty funny. Here are two that I remember:

The second one was topical, given POTM was there. I think LOTM will now be wearing his BA cycling cap pretty much all the time.

I’m just honored that there’s a card in the set about me! (“Kitty in a Penguin Costume”)

I’m pretty sure that “What’s in Judd Lumberjack’s pockets?” is the best card.

UPDATE: As no one objected, beans have been “baking” all night. Judging by how they smell I would expect more of a curry experience than a “Bush’s” experience. Should be fun. 😎

It would be lovely if you could come Nadine, even if it is to just make an appearance. I completely understand about the husband situation though.

Last night I had to talk through this with mine, explaining that he is always welcome to my bike social events, but that I’m riding there, and this one is further afield than he’s attempted. If he wanted to go for it, I would be happy and support him, but if he needed SAG to get home, I couldn’t help. The option for him to drive was also put on the table, but the more important point was “The decision is yours and I will love and support whichever one you decide for yourself. Regardless, I will be home late.”

I’m sorry I didn’t make it, Kitty. I should have come just to put in an appearance, as you said. It wouldabin a lovely ride. Well except for all those people on the trail! I always have that conflict when there are Sat pm biking activities. Somehow it’s not such a big deal during the day… And mine doesn’t drive, so the driving option isn’t there for him. He actually doesn’t drive, drink, or, these days, ride a bike. I hafta do all three. Can you beLIEVE it? 😮

I hope to see you soon at the next thing….. I did enjoy the pictures….
