i'm good for a ride tonight. i'm assuming it's still at 10 because the 8 or 9 was just a suggestion and i didn't hear anyone agree or disagree with it.

if the time does change, someone please post it on here.

I suggested a change but considering the response was only luke warm I'm assuming it's still 10... I'll be there tonight but I'll be like 10-15 minutes late so if you guys can wait that would be great (not that it ever leaves right at 10 anyway)...

I am going to Maine. But I will schlitz read for ya guys.

i can't quit my life, i just got a promotion and a raise

i'll be there tonight

with a face mask

A FACE MASK

i've got me one of those, to which my roommate said "dude, you look like a f*cking terrorist with that on"
i felt i looked like a skier in my ski-mask, but hey, if they had ski soldiers in the russo-finnish war, why can't there also be ski terrorists.

I'll be face masking it to!

I really need to go home and get my cold weather gear.

I hopefully will be around tonight. Can't wait for my wheelset to be finished at cambridge though.

hmm. i have a bandana for my face & it appears that i left my warm jacket at work. go me...it'll be a cold ride tonight.

tomorrow, however, is supposed to be bike-death. coldest day yet with some powerful winds.

i have no real problem with the cold here in boston, it's the wind. for as long as i can remember the wind has been my arch-nemesis.

It can be pretty bad. A few years ago, i was attempting to ride my road bike home from work in charlestown. on a day which was so windy that i could occasionaly not make forward progress, even with a 30X26 gear.

Rather that running red lights, i was stopping at green lights to celebrate being a block closer to home and rest my legs.

The key is to put on the puffiest jacket you own and fill your bag to capacity so the wind actually pushes you backward.

yay,

Work should be fun tomorrow.

I would board with ya but I got no board or boats and imagine renting would cost a bunch...



Man guys, talk about a CHILLY Thursday night ride!!! that was a good but very cold time...

**** hating on castle island... that place is so epic!

castle island was epic indeed, it's just the way things played out that was a bit..off:
"where should we ride to?"
"i don't know, somewhere away from the water, it's way too windy out"
"ok"
*five minutes later*
"oh, looks like we're on our way to castle island"
"hmm..."

Two Questions:

1) Do they plow Almay St (there's supposed to be some light snow tomorrow afternoon)?
2) Can mouths freeze to aluminum beercans when it is cold outside?

2) Can mouths freeze to aluminum beercans when it is cold outside?
The can would have to be cold enough that the beer inside was already frozen. Not bleeding likely, but you can make it happen if you really want to.

Is the Blitz still on? If it is, I can definately make it, but I'll be a little late (wrestling match before hand so I won't be able to get down there till about 8:30 probably).

i don't even think the match sprints were done by 830 at the last one so you'll probably get there in plenty of time to blow up your tire again during the skids.

and no rescheduling of the blitz! if people can't make it, well then i suppose that just means we'll have to have another one soon.

btw...chilly is an understatement when describing last night.

ok it's on this weekend


but... we're also having one....AFTER....the allston scramble, we'll call it the after party i guess. but this time...i want to have like 40 kids


also, i need a new spoke card for this weekend... i might not have time to make one, so if any of you have time hook up a design.

i am psyched to blitz, **** yeah.

i'd love to whip something up for a spokecard! is there a formal name you're going with or just "2/10 allston/brighton scramble?" if you want to pm me any ideas you have and an email address i can send files to, i'll do it.

second of all, is anyone going to the converge show in cambridge the next day? i don't know if they're doing early ticket sales or if its all at the door, but i definitely want to go.

i wasn't talking about a spokecard for the scramble. That Luke's department. I'm talking about the Schlitz Blitz.

Riding out the causeway leaned over at about 30 degrees from vertical against the wind was pretty nifty.
yup. Hope everyone else sucessfully thawed out their fingers and toes when they got home.

Also, is that beached sailboat new? I don't recall it from previous trips out that way.

oh right! ha!
if anyone's lookin' to call someone an idiot, i'm riiiiiight here.

I'll be at converge. I missed their last show in revere.

What did you guys do tonight? Personally, I combine my two favorite things and carried two active monitors on my back while riding through some sweet gusts wind. Not to mention I got 150 bucks off of the whole deal. Best day ever.

Anyone have an extra shoe bootie I could borrow tonight? Not that it's a big deal, but I could only find one of mine and two would certainly be nice...

Who's bike/apartment is this?

i don't know... but i am angered over the fact that there is a track frame just sitting there!

I got the nastiest ass cold in the world, and I'm in no condition to ride tonight. CRAP.

Drink well for me boys and girls. I'll be back in action soon.

don't you know anything? alcohol kills germs!

is the blitz at 7? I don't think I will make it until 8ish.

all i have to say is.....WOW

well it just wouldn't be a night of schlitzing w/out alex puking at some point. photos when you get a chance, scott?
