Good Afternoon soon to be loyal and dedicated Ryde or Fly Blog.com readers,
You do not know what this blog is about because it just started and only myself, my partner, our minor and non existent financial advisement and investment firm, and several people I have told while drinking know this idea exists. So consider yourself lucky that you have stumbled upon this hidden gem. Or just followed a tweet and have a boring day job.
The idea behind this is very simple. I, along with my sister and anyone else who has nothing to do on a yet to be determined night ride our bikes to establishments in Des Moines, Iowa that sell chicken wings. We then eat the chicken wings and rate them based on criteria that will be outlined later in this first and informational post. Then we write about the ride, the wings, and anything else of interest that we see fit. We also allow guest contributors, photos, and video feeds from our journey and encourage wing selling establishments to invite us to put their wings to the test. If your wings suck please do not apply. Or do...
The purpose of this project, known now as Ryde or Fly, is two fold. The first fold is one I believe can be achieved. The second is one that probably can't be, but to all the haters thanks for watching. The goals are as follows.
1. Be selected as an honorary judge for the Wing Ding competition at El Bait Shop based on proven experience and dedication to selection of the finest wings Des Moines, Iowa has to offer.
*Note: The Wing Ding will serve as our final ride and the ultimate end goal of this project.
2. Be able to actually pay for a real web address, sell advertising, make fresh cash, get offered a food network and or travel channel show that allows us to take this project to different cities while being paid, make more fresh cash, retire.
Like I mentioned, goal one seems more plausible. Whatever. Don't be fucking jerks about this because it is just for fun and good times. Ok now on to wing judging criteria.
*Note sorry for all of the official business and rules, rules, rules, in the first post. Our non existent legal team insisted the rules be spelled out before this project gets taken any further so that we will be taken more seriously by our readership. Ha Readership.
Wing Judging Criteria (Completely biased and subject to be changed at any point)
1. General Sauciness of wings
2. Availability of sauce choices (deductions will be made if disgusting and confusing sauce choices are available because this is not a project for fucking Einsteins)
*Note: Buffalo Style sauce is the projected sauce of choice
3. Crispiness of wing skin
4. Satisfactory ratio of Drum to Wing
5. Added consideration will be made to wing establishment owners that provide us with benefits that are yet to be determined as of this time (pending non failure of the project)
Ok that is pretty much everything I can think of. The project starts tonight, April 21st, 2010 at 5:30 PM when we make our first ride to establishment that currently holds the title for Des Moines' Best Wing.
Just a few more things that need to be mentioned regarding the biking aspect...
1. Our bikes are super shitty
2. We are mediocre bike riders
3. We have no safety gear
4. At this point we fully intend on riding on the sidewalk most of the time
5. No rides will be more than 20 miles
6. We will be getting picked up in a truck because riding home is out of the question
Please check back tomorrow for the first official post.
Thanks and enjoy the Ryde.
Ha sorry that is the stupidest fucking tag line ever.
