When I dip and you dip we dip! Let’s all ride the Big Dipper and then follow the “north star” down Lincoln St. to the Little Dipper on the river. We’ll meet outside Ninkasi Brewery at 7:45pm on Thursday, June 14th, and return for pints afterward.
May 17th – Prancing Piggy
This little piggy went to the market. This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy went weeeeeeee as it pranced throughout Eugene! Let’s meet this Thursday, May 17th at Falling Sky Brewery at 7:45pm and ride the Prancing Pig. This is a 7 miler, so we will leave at 7:50pm to enjoy the beautiful sunset along the river!
April 28th – Bonzi Tree
Tree-t yourself to an Earth Week finale! BikeInShapes is supplanting your weekend plans with a 6pm Saturday ride, leaving from Cornucopia (Downtown) this Saturday. A bite/beer will follow.
March 28th (not 21st) – Periodic Table
Due to the weather, we’ll meet same time, same place, next Wednesday for the Periodic Table. Enjoy the snow! See you at the Bier Stein at 7:45pm on the 28th.
– – –
“Fe” your lab coat and “O” your tires as we geek out to the Periodic Table shape. We’ll start from The Bier Stein this Wednesday at 7:45pm. If it’s too crowded afterward, we’ll migrate over to The High St. Cafe. Be there or be [an element] square!
February 23rd – Chick-en Little
“The sky is falling, the sky is falling,” Chicken Little once said. Then it seems appropriate that we meet at the new Falling Sky Brewery (13th and Oak Alley) on Thursday, February 23rd at 7:45pm, for a new, hatching shape: The Chick-en Little. Are you chicken? Come on, you know you want to be a biker chick!
January 18th – The Tetris Brain Teaser
How’s this for a cliche New Year’s resolution: “Get in shapes, get BikeInShapes!”
We’ll kick this year off this Wednesday, 7:45 at the Cornucopia (17th & Lincoln) borrowing from the most basic shapes of ’em all: Tetris shapes.
This ride comes with a mission should you accept. I have mashed together all of the Tetris shapes (as seen in image). Now, your brain teaser task is to draw a route that:
– Starts and finishes at the Cornucopia (17th & Lincoln)
– Traces around each Tetris shape once, without overlapping traces or gaps.
It may be impossible! So, the first person to send me a perfectly traced map wins a BikeInShapes T-Shirt. Feel free to bring your solution to the ride.
November 17th – The Elephant
What better way to follow the brain than with a BikeInShapes featuring one of the most intelligent animals on earth. Stomp on down to the “The Elephant” ride on November 17th at 7:45pm leaving from Ninkasi. Ivory much want to see you there!
October 27th – The Brain
Listen up and be cognizant: come exercise those peddles and noggin as we cycle the BikeInShapes Brain. We’ll leave this Thursday from Cornucopia (on Fifth Street) at 7:45pm and head to Alton Baker to Occupy the Frontal Lobe. Thanks to Dave R. for the design. Neuro excuses, see you there!
September 15th – Iceberg Wedge
Loooook out BikeInShapers…iceberg a-wedge!! Lettuce ride the “Iceberg Wedge” this Thursday @ 6:30pm from Skinner’s Butte Park (next to the parking lot at High St intersection). We’ll return to the park for a Salad Bar potluck. We’ll set up shop at a table by the High St. parking lot (or the playground we get second dibs). Feel free to bring a salad component por favor.
August 18th – The Oregon Map
It’s time for the first classic BikeInShapes: The Oregon Map! Let’s honor the most lovely of these United States by oreGUNnin’ around the border of our home sweet home. We’ll start from the High Street Cafe at 7:45 this Thursday, and head up north to the river (look closely, the Willamette may be posing as her big sis). Upon completing the shape, we’ll have some hoppening conversation back at the cafe.
