Bicycling

For those of you who can't make it for Tuesday breakfasts (and anyone else who would like to come) we will be having an additional breakfast EVERY FRIDAY at Copper Canyon Cafe.

Please at least be versed in the basic rules, if you are a beginner that has never played. Meet at the champion court, by the bathrooms. Even though it's drop in when you can, the earlier our members can get there, the better we have a chance of claiming more courts that are close to each other. **A Different Format - Please Read:** What does "drop-in" mean? When you RSVP to the event, you ain't gotta be there right at the start. Stop by whenever and leave when you're ready. I will be there for at least the minimum time posted. Do RSVP so I have an idea of how many to expect, and it's good for the meetup group to track participation. **Play Format:** I need yall's help to keep play fair and fluid for all members. If there are members waiting to be rotated in, the 2 players that just lost in the current game rotate out to wait in line. The first 2 players waiting in line then rotate in, and the players that just won the game stay on court but split up. Holler at me if you need clarification. **What to Expect:** Casual pickleball for all levels; total beginners welcome. This venue is outdoors; if the weather turns, the event may be canceled. Please watch the event page and check your email for updates. We use public courts, and it’s not unusual to wait for court space to become available. **What to Bring:** * Paddle * Balls * Weather appropriate clothing * Hydration * Non-marking court shoes **Important:** If for any reason you are unable to attend, please update your RSVP. Thanks!

Join us for Tea, in the style of a Chinese gung fu tea gathering Friday's at 5pm. Gongfu tea or kung fu tea (Chinese: 工夫茶 or 功夫茶; both gōngfū chá), literally "making tea with skill", is a traditional Chinese tea preparation method sometimes called a "tea ceremony". It is probably based on the tea preparation approaches originating in Fujian and the Chaoshan area of eastern Guangdong.

Bosque ride

Anyone interested in an alternative to the BIBO ride can join Janis and I. We are doing a short Brunch ride to the Range Cafe in Bernalillo on Saturday. KSU (Kickstands Up) 10 AM from our house - 6300 Petirrojo Rd. NW, Albuquerque 87120

Last year I was asked about doing La Ventana Arch. It’s always been on the list. Today I was out exploring El Malpais and came across Sandstone Bluffs Trail. As I was looking into it more, I realized it’s only about 10 minutes from Ventana Arch. Sandstone Bluffs is 2.6 miles with wide open views across the desert and lava fields. Ventana Arch is a short walk but such an iconic spot. Since we’re trying to explore new areas this year and mix things up a bit, I thought why not pair them together? We’ll start with Sandstone Bluffs, then head over to La Ventana Arch and take in both in one trip. Two great spots, one drive, something new for us to experience together. See you on the trails.
