Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Every Saturday This Summer! Sf Crew..

Am thinking this weekend meet up should happen every saturday this summer. the roller skaters have the pad at 8th ave and fulton on sunday, so lets take saturday. we can hang out, learn new skills (like nunchaku skills) see what everyone is into, enjoy some sun, hava portable sound system. and when a big enough group forms, we can all go for a ride. Lets see how it goes today at noon. peas

Mmmm. Rollergirl.

Or... do the rides in the "Short Bike Rides" book.

I'm sorry that I missed sunday! trying to make this a once a month type event would be great!

We met up on Saturday at the roller-skating spot, but it's hard for me to hang at one place like that, I always want to get out and ride.

Sounds like a plan! The rollerskater spot has some nice pavement and no (few) rollerskaters on saturday.
Benches and some shade. That could be a fun permanent spot.
The panhandle has a nice spot too east of the basketball courts. Both spots are nice and close to beer, and bbq.

well, we still have a keg from the picnic, should we drag it out to the roller rink saturday? noon seems a bit early for most, lets try like 1pm. sound system, freestyle, till we are full of liquid courage. then we can do a ride from the short ride book. thoughts?

sounds perfect! I'll bring along my little weber for some barbecutioning to go along with the beer.

Whee, sounds like a good time. I probably won't make it :(

i don't think i'll make it either, i'm racing on sat. and don't think i'll be back in time...

cool that sounds great... also the roller skating place is on 6th ave not 8th just to let people know, but i also think we should ride around the park too

This makes sense, but I think we should try and do a little riding. Those rollerblading kids have the friday night skate where they meet up downtown every friday and cruise around the city. Maybe we could switch up between a ride one week and tricks/chilling the next. Thoughts?

www.cora.org for some find roller skating fun and videos!

I thought about getting into that, but I may not have been born on a bike, but close!

yeah... the clocktower is pretty lonely these days on friday and saturday nights.

Dude, hit me up. I want to do a night ride soon. Maybe Friday or Saturday night. I'll call you next time I take an unplanned ride.

looks like this weekend will not fly for the gg park rollerskate thang. why am I having such a hard time tapping a keg? judah, i'm up for a night ride tonight. lets meet at 1 embarcadero at 9pm. anyone in?

i should be game.

I'd be down for a night ride tonight, too.

Tonight sounds good to me. I might have the new ride put together by then...

can't but what about every other saturday this summer? ysa i also showed up today at the skating area and didn't know tat it had been canceled until i got home. lets do it again next week.

there is a messenger party this afternoon across from freewheel on hayes
i dunno davey, those messengers play kinda rough!

I just got back from freewheel. The party was just a keg. Not a bad party!

gf's out of town and I'm itching to ride . . . anyone mind if a newb tags along? Are people still getting together tonight?

I'll be there around 9:30 probably...

Took on the Marin Headlands today . . . Headlands 1 - Me 0. I wanted to do it without stopping, but only made it up about 3/4 of the way. A few times I thought I was near the top only to round the corner and see the next climb. I guess I'll just have to try again in a week or two. Has anyone made it to the top non-stop with something comparable to a 48x17 setup?

I was going to give it a shot, but my knees ran away. 47-16

i did it on thursday last week, with 48x16, that was a bad day, hard as #%@ every rotation i could have sworn that i was track standing. and i did it brakeless which i wont do again either. the wind on the goldengate bridge was insaine.

Yikes brakeless! I was nervous enough with only a front brake and myriad of clueless tourists pulling on and off the road. The bridge, full of Blazing Saddles rentals, was another story.

A few weeks back a bunch of us were crossing the bridge on a SUPER windy day. I was having trouble fighting the cross breeze, and was literally blown away by it (pardon the pun)
So as I'm crossing one of the towers, I see the chick leg down on her mountain bike after she stops with the other foot still strapped in...
A crazy gale shot up and blew here right over (still strapped in on one side) into two other people legged down next to her.

I felt bad for laughing.

Anyone want to ride to the Mill Valley Bike Swap?

http://www.craigslist.org/nby/bik/79930101.html

It starts at 10am so I figure meet at the GGP Rollerskating area at 8:45am
and roll by 9am to make sure we get first crack at the deals.
Anyone else interested?

if anyone goes you should get out there a little early so you can cheer me on at the turnaround of the double dipsea. there's a good chance you'll get to see me barf too, and what a treat THAT will be!

They probably won't have the NJS pedals, saddle, and seatpost I'm looking for, so I'll have to skip.

Henry, I still have your pump.

Doh. I had brain fart. I'm riding the Giro di Peninsula century on Saturday.

Dude, good luck with that. Are you doing it geared?

Yes, geared. Old La Honda and Tunitas Creek Rd would be knee busters on a fixie.
They're tough enough at 39x23/25.
