Big turnout for Slug Velo’s birthday ride

Slug Velo ride - February

Cold temperatures didn’t stop over 30 riders from helping Beth Hamon celebrate the third birthday of Slug Velo today. Beth founded Slug Velo as a slow and social riding club and her rides always draw a refreshing mix of bike lovers young and old.

I brought Eleni along, but since today was my birthday Robert offered to pull her in the trailer alongside his son Christopher (thanks Robert!). They both had a great time and were rewarded with treats and strawberry milk at our destination in St. Johns.

See the rest of my photos from this ride.

The Sprockettes and the Zoobombers left their mark on Saturday night’s roller derby season opener at the Expo Center. Their half-time extravaganza including some gnarly derby action with plenty of thrills and spills by an amped up Zoobomb crew.

Then, the Sprockettes did their thing and and were met with a thunderous ovation from the sold-out crowd and I had the best seat in the house for all the action! Here are my photos from the Sprockettes performance.
