General rules of use: Don't be a jerk. Treat others with respect. No spam. Keep posts on topic of forum. No double posting. Forum will be moderated as needed.
We'll watch the weather and make some decisions Friday night or Saturday morning. Remember, this past Saturday was pretty decent with "100% chance of rain all day."
If raining, we'll delay the games and and arrive early to Schwanke's
I won't be at Good Times this Wednesday, I have a work dinner I need to attend. I'll put some parks and proposed schedule up tonight, along with a weather alternative. @Geoffrey Clark do you have the fork, brake drum, crank? I have a tire. Who has a soccer ball @zimmerbahn ?
Park suggestions? We want to ride to a different park for each field game. Weird, out of the way parks that make a good ride. Springfield too... just needs to be space for our games, prefer not a popular, crowded park.

KILTS: some people have one from past Scotchtoberfests (cut the carbs!). You still have time to buy a good one. There are also cheaper "party" kilts on line. You can always make one. We'll post basic instructions on this page soon. Other common items to complete your uniform include Dr Martin's, thick, high socks and you favorite Fred Perry. We know the weather could change, so a parka is not a bad choice More details to come.
Oops. Thought it was noon. Anyways, holding down the fort at pint pot!
weather forecast is saying some morning showers and dry in the afternoon, so I bumped the m&g and ride start back an hour.
