flatville fixie ride

(A secret ride, no less!  Now that it's over, I'm totally violating the organizer's imperative not to mention it on any forums or blogs, macro or micro!)

This morning, a group of The Bike Project's volunteers and friends rode 20 miles to Flatville from Urbana on fixed gear bikes.  It turns out Flatville's aptly named.  Its wikipedia page even has a flat tone:

Flatville is an unincorporated town in Compromise Township, Champaign County, Illinois, USA.

 ...and that's it.  But it's got a Lutheran Church, which kindly offered us sanctuary... and water.

The ride's organizer made some great corn-and-soybean spoke cards, to commemorate basically all of the scenery on the way:

Thanks Fred for organizing the ride and thanks everybody who rode along!
