Bicycle Austin forum

Despite their irregularity, the bike pub crawls are one of our favorite events. Rolling through some of Austin's best beer bars while making new friends – who wouldn't love it?

With such a lag since our last one, we knew we were going to have to really bring it this time, which is why we teamed up with our frenemy for the BeerTownAustin vs Craft Austin Ultimate Fanboy Bike Pub Crawl Throwdown 2010. (Want more words in there? We got plenty where that came from.)

We'll be kicking off Austin Beer Week on Sunday, October 24 by riding through north central Austin and hitting up some of our favorite neighborhood bars. We'll give out wristbands for all riders to get beer specials at the stops (think cheap Texas pints and such).

Meet up on the Flying Saucer patio at 2:00 p.m. After hanging there, we'll be off to Draught House to catch some of their Beer Olympics, then to Billy's on Burnet, followed by Thunderbird Koenig and ending at one of Austin's newest bars (and soon to be brewpub), Black Star Co-Op, just in time for dinner.

We've had a fun time at the past rides and are hoping for a great turnout. If you can, RSVP on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=109138195816232) so we can give the bars a heads up on how many people are coming through.

Bring I.D., cash and water and tip well. We're not looking to make a scene so follow the rules of the road and be friendly. Helmets, light and common sense encouraged – we can't afford to lose any more readers. And if you do find yourself in trouble, just tell them you're with Craft Austin.

See you Sunday.
