[C4 Rides] Possible Brewery Ride

[Ben Ellington]

I would actually start out somewhere else, that's close to High Branch, and then finish there. Once you're finished and there, all tips go to Levine Cancer or something like that. I've seen that done in Charlotte a few times, and it usually prompts me to drop $20 in the pot. 

Maybe a Sunday afternoon ride that starts out near there, ends up at a place like Sunshine Cafe where you can get lunch and a beer, and then goes back to High Branch. Build in 4-5 mile segments between so you've got 30 minutes of riding, then lunch, then 30, drinks, and another 30 to get back to the car (optional of course).

The general consensus is that with all of the rides and activities that we have going on throughout the week, that we really couldn't manage another ride.  BUT, Shawn Fleming did have a good idea: He suggested an "Urban Assault" type of ride on mountain bikes, cruisers, fixies, or anything other than a spandex/lycra road ride.  The thought was to make it easily accessible to more people and it could wind through Concord, hit the greenway, and not be too strenuous.  This could be something that could be led by anyone really without special uber 'A' rider status.  Another aspect of it could be that High Branch and possibly Cabarrus brewery would team up and donate $1 to charity for each rider that showed up (Similar to the Unknown Brewery ride)

My intention is to help get them started with an event from an advisory standpoint, but not lock us into the responsibility of having to run it.  I wanted to run this idea past the group at large and see if you had any suggestions,  or if anyone wanted to help get something like this kicked off, and focus it on a charity.  Thoughts, comments, opinions?
