What is the MoRon Tuesday Night Ride?

There are a couple of new folks on our list. Partly for their benefit but mostly for others (and myself), I’d like to do a little TNR Q&A.

Q: I know the ride starts at 6:30 and you guys are total freaking Nazi’s about it and you give LATE FEES OF $10 TO ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOT READY TO PEDAL AT 6:30, but what do I do if I am going to be two minutes late and still want to come?

A: Call me, we’ll gladly wait a reasonable amount of time—shit happens. You’ll pay, but we’ll be cheerful about it!

Q: Where does all this money go? A: Birthday cakes, beer, cheap b-day presents/decorations, sometime subsidies of dinner outings, food for the Hammies party, etc.

Q: Why is the route not announced along with the meeting location? A: I don’t ask for and do not want to manage RSVP’s for the TNR except on special occasions (like a shuttle). If I sent out a Northside/Solstice/Paradigm route and Bob and Christina showed up, it would be chaos cause we’d have to change the route in the parking lot (no offense!), and I don’t want people like Christina and Bob to not come on a ride they had planned to attend because it is too much. Pete, Ron, Jon, Craig and you other hot-dogs can ride anything, so sometimes we adjust for the needs of the group on a particular night. Can’t remember when we didn’t have a rockin’ good time regardless!

Q: Will I get busted on the TNR? A: Seems increasingly likely.

Q: What happens when I see a bust about to happen? A: Cover/turn off your lights and get the hell out. Every man for himself.

Q: If I get a ticket, will the TNR/MoRon fund pay for it? A: Ask Justin and Mike. (No, but thanks for asking!)
