You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
The CTA Ride Leaders Lunch is comin’ to town

The CTA Ride Coordinator’s making a list
And checking it twice;
He’s gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
The CTA Ride Leaders Lunch is comin’ to town

The CTA Ride Coordinator sees you when you’re leading
He knows when you’re hiding in the pack
He knows if you’ve led any rides or not
So lead a ride for goodness sake!

So…

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
The CTA Ride Leaders Lunch is comin’ to town

It’s time for the 2025 Ride Leaders BBQ.  This event is an unbelievable extravagant luxury slap-up meal fully funded by CTA membership fees.  There may even be BBQ Spam on the menu.  This event is by invitation only, for those who actually led two or more rides during 2025.  There will be bouncers in attendance.

For anybody who missed out on an invitation this year, the 2026 Ride Calendar is now open!

Sunrise at 05:22;  Sunset at 19:27

Location:  Top Secret.  No Gatecrashers.

Time:  Meet at 11:30 am.  The event will finish once nobody can stuff down any more truffles or caviar, smoked salmon or venison, foie gras de pinguin or echidna eggs.

Description:  No riff-raff
