So you really want to know about the MBBC? First thing, here are the credos of the Manly Bulge Bike Club.
As members of the MBBC, we promise
To ride, shoot, and sing as badly as we can as often as we can.
To keep the tires ON and the skin OFF the ground as much as possible.
Failing that, to bounce right up and return to the ride as quickly as technically possible.
To keep as much FAT (Fun, Alcohol, and Tunes) around us as we possible can.
To share and spread our FAT (see above) with as many people as we/they can stand.
To understand that the ride is The Ride, and that it will occur despite the heat, cold, rain, sleet, wind, hills, etc. Except lightning. (We're not that crazy.)
To ensure that to whine is to be bitch-slapped (unless blood and gore are involved).
To prove that, in the right hands, a bicycle or a song can be a deadly weapon.
If you see another MBBC member, the appropriate call/greeting is "Owwwwww!!!"
