Hey! How would like to spend the one day we have off from school & exams to bike 20+ (24.2 to be exact!!) miles to every christian’s pizza location in charlottesville? Enticing in the purest meaning of the word. I did this last semester with Guadalajara and it was a friggin blast so this one should also be pretty fun …
yeah, you read that correctly… BIKEpacking. Not backpacking. All the fun of biking, with all the self-reliance and minimalism of backpacking. And all while taking in so many beautiful views and soaking in the remote scenery of the Appalachian mountains. Over the course of two days, we’re going to ride a ~50 mile loop that circumnavigates and summits Reddish Knob …
GAMERS! Hello, Creekathon is upon us, and YOU were probably thinking about taking a car to get there; however, I think YOU are silly and in need of an attitude adjustment.

Oh HELLOOOO FRIENDS!!!! No one look but raise your hand if you (1) kinda freaking love storytime, (2) harness a deep love for our fellow humans, animals, plants, minerals, and life and want to understand and connect with them all through story, (3) maybe think data and graphs are social constructs and the world revolves around stories, (4) are in …

Luckily for us, we live a few miles away from this sweet place called Visible Records, an artist-run studio and community organizing space for localized social justice. And!!!! THEY …
What’s the best fried chicken chain? Charlottesville is well known for its range of fried chicken offerings, and thanks to Nash equilibriums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotelling%27s_law), they just so happen to all be next to each other on one long strip. On this trip, we will bike to seven fried chicken fast food restaurants, and order a tenders, sandwich, and fries at each …

There is no real stress on how long we take assuming people don’t need to be back at a certain time, …
They say the difference between the US and Europe is that the US thinks 100 years is a lot while Europe thinks 100 miles is a lot. Lets show Europe how short 100 miles is.

You brought a bike to school thinking you’d commute around grounds in speed and style, but 2 months into the semester, it started making an annoying clicking sound that drove you so mad you stopped riding. Or maybe it got a flat you just never got around to fixing. Or maybe the brakes are wearing just a bit too thin …

This idea came to me while staring into the bonfire and speaking with my fellow trip leaders about local chains we could support by going to every location as fast as we can via human power. Thus the tour de BODOS was born. Instructions will follow. Be at echols dorm at 8am, no sooner, no later. Come alone. Or with …

Oye! (spanish for “Hey!” because who says “hello” aka “Hola” bc that’s weird) The extremely cultured benevolent dictator of this glorious club informed me of an obscure facebook event from 2018 where some people biked to each location of Guadalara restaraunt in Charlottesville and got a NON ALC0HOLIC item of their choice. I’m thinking we do appetizer, NON ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, …
I want to see how far I can ride my bike before class, I won’t go too far but I just wanna probably ride to the Rivanna River and through the parts of the city I don’t normally see. Bring water and snacks so we can pedal further. Borrowing the club mountain bikes would be fine but also if you …
Last time I attempted this, it snowed (why???), so let’s try this again. Sunday is supposed to be 50s and sunny!

Test Trip, Not actually happening

For mountain views, we’ll be passing by the IX Art Park and riding on Monticello Rd near Clark Elementary School. This will be a beginner road …
Simultaneously complex and elegantly simple, the bicycle is a personal chariot that can take you around the corner to class or hundreds of miles into the wilderness. But, you certainly don’t want to break down! Our beloved fleet of club bikes is in need of maintenance – come help me fix them up! Why should I learn about my bike? …
Description Is sitting in a car not sendy enough for you? Bike to Creekathon!
