We'll be back on January 1, 2009.
Meanwhile, read all about it below.

The Tradition Returns
For several years, new friends and old friends have been joining me for a nice bike ride in the country – with some black-eyed peas and cornbread for dessert. This year we are bringing back our same traditional riding and eating experience, with a bit of a twist or two.
Start Times
January 1 is on a Tuesday this year, so we want to make it easy to get to the start on time. We’ll have the first group start at 10am – but you can start as late as 11am. You read that right. We will offer a one-hour start window to accommodate your schedule.

Comfy Start Site
Our start site is the Community Center in Blue Ridge, located at 200 W. Tilton Street, Blue Ridge, TX 75424. It is warm and cozy, with indoor plumbing, a coffee pot and plenty of room for eating and sharing stories with your friends.
