Rides and Races - Boston rides

Foolishly, I biked off without getting the guy's info. About ten yards down the road I realized my bike wasn't actually all right but by then the guy'd driven off. Oh well, at least he has a Rob-sized dent in his hood to worry about.

Sorry dude, that sucks... if I had I would give.. you could try broadway bike school in cambridge. Sometimes they have random **** in their used selection

I will not be suggesting ZUZU tonight. I'm not over last week yet.

alright punks, here's a bit of Chicago breakdown:

15 person van rental:
$178.40/day x 5 days (Thursday-Monday) = $894 / 10 people = $89.40 per person plus gas expense, booze, etc.

-any word from stephenhatesyou about the other van?
-$90 before gas is a little expensive for me... I don't know if I will have $200ish kicking around for vacation by next month.

stephenhatesyou: I still have your no-name and helmet. I assume that you won't be back in time to eat the no-name. Which means free vegan asian goodness for me tonight! (I'll get you back next time you are out here).

christian science center on thursday... what time?

is it booze driven?

christian science center on thursday... what time?

people start showing up around 10, leaving soon after depending on if we know that we're waiting on people, etc.

is it booze driven?

can be if it is so descided. last week was a lot of riding sans booze but was still a good time.

i presume we would have to have it until monday because even if we came back sunday it couldn't be returned until then? i dont think i could miss my monday classes.

it seems a slightly steep, but cheaper than any other method of transport by far (figure maybe 200-250 for total gas? so an extra 20-25 bucks per person..)

as long as current people numbers remain the same, anyways. i can swing it as long as we eat and drink cheap (figure this is a given).

Anybody want to donate a non-drive Sugino 75 crank arm to the Rob-Got-T-Boned-By-Stupid-Car Charity Fund?


That is never good. Glad you're ok. What length crank do you ride? I don't have any 75s, but may have a set of cranks to ensure you've got a ride.

anybody want to donate a frame to the henry-broke-another-****ing-frame-fund. On a lighter note.

Get ****ing organized and out here you ****ers!!!

oh yah... been spending so much time on chifg that I forgot you can't curse in here.

WTF did you do this time? I told you Chicago was bad luck but you just wouldn't listen...

WTF? I don't think so... but if so, I think that calls for a first snow fall ride!!

Yeah, it is what the channel 4 weather guy told me. Friday night. No one else, just him.

But man +1 on more rides for the sake of riding.

I can do friday. Thursday I gotta head home to get some stuff.

Ok so how's 6:30 friday sound to everyone?

On a seperate note, anyone wanna ride around 6ish tonight? (this ride being non-mandatory, no presents requied) :-)

friday should work for me.

Friday won't be happening on my side. I'm doing guest reviews for one of the design studios at Wentworth till 6 or so, then I gotta get my Halloween costume ready for Saturday.

And not that I care, but Friday is Critical Mass. Just ride the whole group out to JP.

I could ride tonight but 6 is a little to early, because I get out at 6 and I'd want to at least change.

anyone care for CM? I'm indifferent, but if anyone want to we could right with CM for a little bit then split and head off on our own...

anyone know WHERE CM rides to? I know it starts in copley but does it end there?... anyway it starts at 5:30


about riding tonight anyone wanna ride at 6:30 tonight??... we could meet where CM ends that way people could ride both if they wish, that is if anyone knows where that is..?

Critical Mass starts in Copley and goes wherever it wants. Every time I've done it it hasn't ended anywhere... just sort of dwindled down to nothing. I might be up for a ride tonight. 6:30 or 7. Keep posting, I"ll keep checking.

Word was heard, kids. Spread it:

Hey I guess you couldn't come.. we waited a few minutes then head to the tufts area.. we thought about heading to Boston but we thought it was to winding/cold to ride over the bridge and all that ****..

I was going to go, but I ended up staying at work forever. Friday may be sketchy too, depending on when a friend from the cape comes up.

And also, does anyone have any fun handlebars, specifically something like Nitto Moustache bars kicking around that I can try out or trade for. I think it is what I want, but I don't want to make an investment without checking them out first.

sorry about that man, I got caught up with some music writing that I couldn't leave... you know how it is... gotta take it when it comes. Next time though, next time.

no sweat man, I was just hoping you didn't show up 5 minutes after we rode off... hope the writing went well...

Man it was freakin cold out. Need to close up the air holes on my shoes.

Also Ace wheel works wanted a lot for those tires. Dang, 30 bucks is still a lot for a bike tire when I can get car tires for that much.

ride tonight: rally at 10pm at the Christian Science Center fountain. antics to follow soon after.

regarding the trip to Chicago, I need someone to take that off my hands. I have a lot of isht on my plate right now and the planning is something that needs to be taken care of soon and will need more attention than I can give it. someone needs to (wo)man up.

I am going to woman up. I am a hardass so ya'll better get your **** togeher.

So does anyone wanna ride friday night?? seemed to get a luke warm response before.. I'm easy about the time and place?? I perfer somewhere in Boston or atleast that side of the river...


Also anyone wanna ride out to Harris Cyclery in Newton sometime?
