What Can I Bring?

Fortunately, we are always answering this question.  We're lucky to have such a generous group of riders.  Here are the answers:

1.) You do not have to bring anything but your bike and a smile (shorts would be good, too.)

2.) If you want to contribute to the Peckerhead this year or in advance of next year, here's what we recommend:

SOMETHING TO SHARE
-Salads / appetizers are very popular.  Cool or room temp is best. 
-Beer or other recovery drinks are always appreciated.

DONATE TO COVER COSTS
If you can't cook or you just like to throw your money around, there's always the donation jar. Donations are optional.  We use them to help cover costs and put the remainder away for next year's edition.

-If none of these work, you can always do this.  I generally take a 58 cm.

If you have questions, call or email me.

Weekend group rides -- could be a thing?

Instagram, new web address, invitations... getting organized




By now you might know that HQ took a couple of years off in 2019 and 2020. The PKR is coming back, though, for 2021. June 19. My house. When Management went to get things dusted off and restarted, we realized that it was time for a few updates. 

MAILING LISTS

PKR has nearly 500 people on our "mailing list". That's in quotes because it's basically become a collection of cocktail napkins and post-it notes. Every year, I would send emails from a Yahoo account 50 at a time so Yahoo wouldn't think I was a spammer. Not efficient. 

So we moved it over to MailChimp. If had your addy, I still do. If you're not sure, just subscribe here on the home page. Easy as that. 

NEW WEB ADDRESS

You can find us now at www.pkr4evr.com. Seemed a lot easier that the clunky Blogger address.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The Facebook Page is still a thing.  Aaaand (this is how old we are) we added @pkr4evr as an Instagram account this year. 

Use the hashtag #pkr4evr for the sort of stupid,  juvenile cycling content we've come to expect, brothers and sisters.

PRINTED INVITATIONS

The goal in 2021 is a return to the tradition of our printed invitations. The problem with that is the whole mailing address thing. If you want a printed invite, confirm your address here.

WHAT'S NEXT?

There's more to come. On the docket are weekend group rides leading up to June 19, merch, and we're waiting to hear back from Van Halen.

Out of the dark ages

 For as long as I can remember, I've been typing your names and addresses into a janky-ass spreadsheet. If I have your email (you want me to have your email), you're good. If you wanna keep up to speed and you think I don't have your email, subscribe. I'm not gonna spam you. 

Get your PKR Updates (ain't gonna spam ya)

Press play. Third time's the charm for PKR #19

 

June 19, 2021. 

That's the date. We're set. It's on. The bitch is back.

After a two year hiatus -- cancer and COVID-19 can both can go fuck themselves, by the way -- we're gonna give the world's best not-a-race-its-a-bike-ride-and-a-cookout a run in 2021. 

The 2021 Peckerhead Invitational in Mansfield, Ohio will bring you all the classics plus some new twists. Look for:

  • No entry fees and no hassles
  • A neighborhood cookout vibe
