can we make it like 8:15? I get out of work at 8 in lower allston and it will take me about 15 min to get over there. if you don't mind waiting i'm totally down (and i can spread the word to the ladies again.)

I'll be there with my stained pants.

ok, so 8:15 at CSC, if you (plural) are running a bit late, i doubt we'll (whoever "we" is) be leaving right then. also, if anyone has any ideas on where to ride to, don't be afriad to speak up, because i'm terrible indecisive.

it was a good ride. Kinda fell apart at the end though.. that bummed me out. Didn't get to say goodbye to the new people I got to meet. Anyway... I'm sure I'll see you all around.

Good riding y'all! I shoulda left my fender on, got my ass a little soaked, but so be it.
Also, I think I get triple points for showing up with a man-purse instead of an empty messenger bag :-P

hey, yeah sorry luke. we did kind of all part ways rather quickly when we got back to JP. sorry about that!

thanks for the tea & sympathy, so to speak. i realized when i got home that my tires were seriously low, and that was why i had trouble on those hills! ug. that was before my little mechanical melt down. :)

anyway, it was a pretty rad ride. hadn't expected to get that far out but it was really fun. i can't make it tomorrow but i'll likely see you guys on saturday at alexi's race. and more rides for sure in the future.

Hey, good ride last night. I really enjoyed getting out of the city and not having to deal with too many cars. Can't make it tonight, but i'll be riding friday and racing saturday. I agree, it would have been nice if we could have all grouped up and then gone our separate ways, but whatever...i liked that pitch black climb last night.

ps: Joshua apologizes for trying to lead the pack through the rubble.

Kilgore_Trout
02-22-07, 05:14 PM

and i saw the black bike with white deep v's going down comm ave (around BU) twice this week.

the always unreliable weather.com shows that the rain has passed ny and is moving towards/on us now. whatever, i have no problem riding in the rain if other people are around.

your mystery rider on the black bike with white deep V's is my friend Dave. He just joined BF as "teen wolf". Anywho... just thought I'd let you know.

Kilgore_Trout
02-22-07, 06:54 PM
wait, i talked to "teen wolf" during monstertrack, and i didn't remember the black bike with white deep v's. hmm. well my memory sucks anyway.

scotthorrigan
02-22-07, 06:57 PM
well when teen wolf makes his way into the boston rides section he'll be surprized to see how infamous he has become.

i was fine with the rubble. although the pole in the middle of the sidewalk didn't help. :)

so alex...if that celebratory blitz happens...do i get that hat you were going to hook me up with to pay me back from destroying my back wheel, my jacket, and my knee at the december blitz?

You were one of the few who made it that far...i have to admit, i wasn't too stoked to jump onto a slushy, poorly lit path either.

Wow now I feel dumb I had been to that thread a while ago. So who is riding tommorow night? I don't know if I can race my Moms is coming to town but I could probably give her the slip for two or so hours I will have to see. Plus then the super commuter will get to show up too.
