Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

Yup. The major thing is that your nasty,dirty,greasy bicycle is fully enclosed so it doesn't soil some honest citizen's suit. :rolleyes:

seriously there havent been honest citizens in the megalopolis for decades!

so, are folks coming to critical mass tonight, or will i be on my own??

your on your own i have to train people so i can go to chicago

you're going to chicago, right? chicago bound pirates have priority until we get back. lemme know your size before then.
it'll be 10 smackers.

yup. i usually wear a men's small or a kid's large.

ok, Chicago kids... the list is close to there. the*new*guy is out. sol is in.

you should be receiving emails about meetup, departure, packing, and random crap like that. if not, please let me know.

Is there a run for Tues? There was talk about it at CM,but nothing on the calendar. Me and Poopn were recruiting after CM,so there may be a couple of prospects showing up.

yes, there's a ride on tuesday.
it is on the calendar.

speaking of which...
as this is suposed to be a "warm-up ride" and less of a pillage
lets do some major miles on tuesday

at least 20
anyone down for some tri-state action?

BLAST! my pedal system master plan has deteriorated into incompatability! chimbly--I called the shop and they pretty much said ix-nay on using quattros with mtb shoes. Soooo, anyone have eggbeaters layin around they wanna sell me or swap for some lovely lightly used (not by me) black quattros?

you could sell on craigslist... and buy in the shop or on craigslist...

yes, i'm aware, thanks. thought i'd share and try fishing in the pirate pool first.

I'm really, really sorry those didn't work out. That really sucks. Really really sucks.

On another note...
my heart skipped a beat this morning when I did my regular check of the jonny cycles website. Jon's almost done with the bike he's working on now, and there's only two more frames in front of me!! He and I are doing the final decisions chat in person in chicago. I'm so nervous that I'll order the wrong thing, but I'm so excited to finally get my bike. After a craptastic day, this was the news I needed.
Here's your last chance for input. So far, it's solid blue with stainless lugs. There will be stars cut out of the lugs, showing the blue paint through them. Fix, of course, drilled for two brakes. Stainless fork crown. Integrated seat binder bolt. Stars cut into the dropouts. No brazeons. S&S Couplers. Nearly square frame, somewhat like the steamroller, only shorter TT and taller ST. Oh, and I'm going to get "this machine kills fascists" painted on the chainstay.

I've been waiting since May.

Did someone say photos?

It was a good time though it sucked about the rain. Props go to Tink for showing me the Memorial Bridge, Arlington, and Columbia Pike for the first time. Also, thanks go to MDRawk for pointing me in the right direction back to MD when I got "a little turned around."

I hope all of the Chicago-bound have a great time this weekend.

Sorry I had to leave the party so early last night.
Duty called.

but TEAM MUMMMRAAAAAAAA is still in effect.
hell mother fuggin yeah!!

Hey DC crew! This here is your formal invitation to pizza and beer Friday for lunch. There's a pizza place near my work that has (for $5) a personal pizza/ draft beer (Leinenkugel's is the best of what they offer with the special). You only get one beer with your pizza (the rest are pretty expensive) BUT!!! YOU CAN ORDER MORE THAN ONE PIZZA!!!!

YOU CAN ORDER MORE THAN ONE PIZZA!!!!
pizza?!!!
and beer?!!!
EFF yes.

i for one plan on being well into the moderately drunk range by this point so i welcome both. but i dont know what time we're going to make it into town though, might not be soon enough to join you.

15 hours through the night...
we're a bunch of idiots.

Pirates,
Be at Peter's House no later than 10pm tomorrow!

moving blankets if you've got 'em.
pack superlight
towel and bedding

polo tonight?

nope, that's every *other* wed.

2 geared bikes going to chicago.

who broke?

my BB was more than shot after last night, citybikes doesnt stock french shells dont have time to mess with it now. trying to get money back from the guy who sold it to me, if not im giving it to Sol or whoever feels like doing something with it

French?!!!! Just think of Paris Suburbs as their Katrina.

U have time to repack a BB and heatset b4 we launch ?

no just heard from julie, i dont know **** about BB: the shell is ****ed, so i doubt sol or anyone wants it anyways. did lbk get her biked fixed?

re: LBK, don't know, she hasn't tried to reach me. Are u OK LBK?

Re: BB and HS, Spud, we can rig up an oversized machine if u really want to. Got a Kabuki in 55 cm, its got my old rolling stock on it (just switched wheels this weekend). It needs to have its BB and HS repacked,,, or we can just say F it and ride it anyway. Will need a set of pedals and a set of chain ring spacers to remove the extra chain ring & a saddle. Its got center pulls like your rig.

the Kabuki is fixed? i have my schwinng i can ride.

lbk is fixed and good to go.
10-4.

good

re: LBK fixed, Cool

re: Kubuki fixed, yes, it is, its now got the flip flop wheel off the Nishiki

<- ready to smash things.

i have some spray paint for the mallets.

Damn! I'm glad to see the pirates were representin'.

Sorry, I shirked on my photo duties. Actually, screw my photo duties.

ps- polo wed? usually we would. but y'all call it.

polo::yes

Just FYI,it's supposed to rain. Last time it rained for polo we only had 4 people show up.

Doesn't matter to me,cause I'm bringing a rain bike.

I don't think I can put my bike threw a poll game at the moment. It needs lots of work as is.

I think I am in for polo. I'll see if I can convince my better 2/3s to join us. Rain will make that tougher.

After a 5 cup of coffee day, I am about to crazh hard..Booger & Spud, you guys are great, bring your rides over anytime and we'll get them back in shape. If it rains and no one shows, we can always go back to my place and work on your bikes. ^Apprehensive about being apprehended - cow

I have been so jealous of the time you guys had all day.
Wednesday looks like the rain may be over by the evening...it should be dry for the weekend.

I am starting to think that Tink practices his grins in the mirror. Apple pie face is something else.
