Fly Tying

Meet in the parking lot of the Handy Bikes Service Center. At the start of each ride, we'll go over introductions to have a sense of participants' cycling experience. Over the course of our rides, we'll address the following: group riding dynamics; safety (ABC check & trail hazards); gear shifting; hill climbing; audible and hand communication within the group, with other trail users, and automobile drivers; what to bring on each ride; etc... Bring your questions, water & a snack. When it starts getting dark earlier, we'll need lights as well. Helmets a MUST. If you can, and especially if you've had issues with your bike, come a bit early to have it looked at ahead of the ride. PS - all levels are welcome to join, however, be mindful that if you are an experienced rider, please be prepared to ride at the pace of the newest rider in the group. Each week, depending on who's in attendance, and participants' riding ability/comfort level, we may do skills practice as a group in the parking lot or at the west end of Wheeler Ave. Once everyone is comfortable, we'll go for a ride on local trails and neighborhood streets and finish back at the shop. Happy Pedaling !! \~Maya

**My favorite country yodeler is back! Dede Wyland and her band, the Do-Rights, are returning to Hells Bottom with their country music classics to help you drown your tears 😭 in your beers 🍺 and do a little dancing 💃🏽. Dede is backed by her top notch band who come from members of the Jelly Roll Mortals and Ty Braddock and the Loyal Inmates.** [The Do-Rights on YouTube](https://youtu.be/nJTRkRnRx8k?is=lObg64T4lzWoCU7N) **VFW Post 350 (Hell’s Bottom) is a fav hangout with cheap drinks, friendly irregulars, live music 6 nights a week, and a decent dance floor. The Henry Sisters food truck has a tasty menu of offerings. There’s a parking lot or nearby street parking.** **Catch me at the bar or on the dance 💃🏽🕺🏻 floor.**

The Natty Beaux unites some of the area’s most talented and respected musicians, most of whom are multiple Washington Area Music Association (WAMMIE) Award winners. The bandmembers bring several diverse styles (Roots Rock, Zydeco, Rockabilly, Klezmer and Jazz) that blend together brilliantly to perform music they have a common love for: classic Jump-Blues, Swing and Rockabilly.
