The Happy Bottom Riding Club, or Riding Club for short, was the name given to the crew lounge of the USS Enterprise-E by William T. Riker shortly before his departure to take command of the USS Titan. Previously the crew had simply continued to call the lounge Ten Forward after the USS Enterprise-D's lounge. (TNG novels: Resistance, Q & A, DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One) It took Riker some time to convince Captain Picard to change the name, and after the name had been given Worf considered it to be a practical joke by the departing Captain Riker. (The Sky's the Limit short story: "On the Spot")
