Yo it's Backpack, I am leading the DBBC club ride for November because it's right around my birthday. It'll be pretty chill pace, accessible to all bicycles (feel free to ride a freak bike if you have one). It should be a relatively easy route (classic three stops: park -> store -> end). Ending with a campfire, free stickers, should be a good time. Bring your friends, bring your grandma, bring your dog. It will likely be chilly, so dress warm / pack layers. Be respectful to other riders! If a rando is being a weird let someone in the club know!

I am hoping to facilitate a casual game of mumblety-peg at the end spot. If you are unfamiliar with the game there's be no obligation to play.
Thank you, hope to see you at the ride!

Start spot: THE RAT - Rose and Thistle Pub House 2417 NE Broadway

Ever wondered about the origin of the modern Norwegian language? Like most Scandinavian languages, it derives from Old Norse, and modern Icelandic is almost the same as Old Norse. The Old Norse Conversation Group practices speaking Icelandic and talks about culture, grammar and vocabulary, some history and current events. We are not a language class. We are more of a social gathering where Icelandic and Norwegian language origins are explored in an informal and entertaining setting. We meet every 4th Thursday of the month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Norse Hall in the downstairs dining area. Anyone interested is welcome to join us. For more information and to join our email list, please contact Nord Njordur F. Winnan at [email protected].
