Tallbikes and cars don't mix well in a blender

This months ride was my ride...well everyones but it was my (Jim) birthday...
By chance Chris and Silas of the Buzzards came up from Bellingham...Silas brought his tall bike and we put Chris on the red fire chopper...A first for him I am told he was previously anti freekbike...I guess he needed a good smooth ride to bust his cherry...ahem
Other guests of honor Margaret the longboarder...
Riding from the shop to the meet point we had a bit of an altercation with a car driver...i guess we were taking up the whole road...It is a bike route dude..expect it....anyway it could have been foreshadowing...
We hung around the gazebo for a while played some games of RedRover to stay warm drank all of Chris' leftover Pacific then headed east...
We were passing an art opening...I guess it was poorly attended cause they yelled out to us to come in....imagine a plague of locust on your buffet...we drank all the red wine, ate all the choclate, decimated the cheese platter...looked at the art sorta and split...
We took Commercial Drive...yelling and howling...
We hung out in the park off fourteenth for awhile...fired up the BBq bike had some dogs...Ifny and her ADD organized us into a race around the park imagine the chaos of about fifteen tallbikes, choppers, mini-talls all racing singletrack thru the trees in the dark...James...tallbike winner....Chris in the chopper division and Ifny in the vanilla class...
We all split the park and went to the legion...many pitchers were consumed...
Then we went for pizza and hung around on the street...til everyone split up and went home...I guess some one got into an arguement with a car driver on the way..........cuz I got called over by a cop...hey what have you been up to tonite? oh just riding around...Get into any arguements?/ no I said...He flips his computer around to show me that some one had reported a car driver arguing with an eight foot tall bike...Wasn't me i said.. He points at my bike...Uh there were a bunch of those out tonite...You going home now he says....fer sure you see the ladies I am with???
Anyway I guess the cops settled for the twelve foot long bike ..... hey D........ make any new friends in there?????
