weather forecast is saying some morning showers and dry in the afternoon, so I bumped the m&g and ride start back an hour.

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 ?

I've got fork and crank for sure, I think I have the drum too. I'll go look later today.

Let's do this!

Meet & Greet: Pint Pot

Which field games?

• log toss (vespa stearing column)

• discus (brake drum)

• crank kick

• tire roll

• soccer goal (on scooter).

Prizes?

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.

• Tugman

• Skyline Park (off Hawkins)

• Wayne Morris Ranch

• Bethel Community Park

• Bertelsen Natural Park (W 5th & Wallis - off W 1st)

After games beverages, BBQ, Scottish eats, fire pit

An old TDC tradition is back from the dead and ready to party!

Scotchtoberfest returns with more fun than you can shake your kilt at! YES, that's right, THIS IS A KILTED EVENT. ON SCOOTERS. HECK YAH! Itinerary:

Saturday, Oct. 29 1pm Meet up at the Pint Pot, 195 E 17th Ave

2 p.m. We ride to the South Eugene Highlands

2:30 p.m. Scotchtoberfest Field Games traditional (and not so traditional) Scottish field games using discarded scooter parts. No skill or strength needed. We'll ride to a different park for each field game.

5 p.m. We ride to BBQ Scotchtoberfest bon fire and party address TBA

Plenty of Scottish faire, including, but not limited to Sheppards Pie, Bangers, Haggis, Scotch, ale, non-booz bevs. We'll have vegan/veggie versions too. Bagpipes? Who knows? We had in the past... Irish folk punk music? Count on it!

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.

Couple parks that would support nice riding

Spencer Butte, there's a big meadow just 50 feet up the main trail
Skyline Park, in the south hills area.
