After a 4 month hiatus, Social Cycling ATX’s Heavy Metal Fitness Ride returns tonight with its weekly Monday night romp of equal parts social and physical exertion. Show up tonight at 7 PM at the Lamar Blvd Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge for the fun/pain.

Here’s the low down:

Through the mists of time… as darkness descends… the madness resumes… Monday approacheth…

That’s right boys and girls. It’s the return of The Monday Night Heavy Metal Fitness Ride and Free Beer Quaff!

Here’s how it works…

This season we’ll be running two classes of riders. A and B class you ask? It’ll be Slayer class and Melvin class. Speed metal or dirge metal. You decide.

The ride departs the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge this Monday at 7:30 pm. Sharp. Expect a reasonably fast pace, covering 24 miles on an urban route in the dark. After, we’ll visit the Jackalope and enjoy free beer, heavy metal madness, half-priced pizza and happy hour ($2.00 wells) all damn night.

Ride what brung ya. Road, touring, mountain, bmx, cruzer, fixie, whatever. Metal Fitness is an equal opportunity ride and not limited to roadies.

You’ll need to bring water, lights, tube changing necessities, a lock, your id and *TIP MONEY* if you’re drinking. You might even check the route map. I wear a helmet and recommend you do too as the ride is fast and in the dark. No banging your head during the ride.
