Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

friday is a CM indeed, they dont take too long and free to splinter off at any time. a small tour of the monuments would be fun; want to plan some sort of route to hit them all peter? maybe a lap around Haines?

The Washington Monument makes a nice velodrome.
well, sloped the wrong way.

pnc doesnt want to go to lockup again ;)

Friday night eh?

right then my lovelies
i'll see you all at the massive

work hard this week and be productive
it may be your last chance

Friday......in

Yes, lets plan a route that gets the best of the monuments. I suppose hains and either mem bridge or key bridge (or both).

Off camber racing in a circle could be very very entertaining

Have parental units visiting this week, Friday will be a good excuse to say, "got friends coming and may be crashing, maybe time to go back to brooklyn?" :D

Hi, everyone. Is this a perpetual thread?

Hey, Tink: nice avatar thingy.

yea! look who's back!
I think LBK has a shirt for you, mister.

Yeah, man, follow this bad boy for everything pirate. There is also a yahoo group and mailing list if you haven't already seen it in the first post.

I don't suppose you will be ready to ride by Friday?

wow where has he been?

maybe he was on one of those sequestered court cases

WaitupforMe, good to see you back! Be ready for Friday!
I'll watch for updates re happenings after CM. Jeff gets in town that evening around 8, we'll find you guys from there. Not sure who else is coming in. Chimbly, any word from other out o' towners?

Giggity.

Thanks, everyone . . . that felt like a big group hug!

I won't be allowed to ride by Friday -- doctor's orders :mad: -- but I'm really dying to get back on two wheels. Luckily, riding a bike is like . . . well, riding a bike, and I'm sure I haven't forgotten how to do it.

doctor's orders

wait,, you had the sex change!!
why didn't you tell us!
we could have had like a womanhood party or something

aw man(?), i'm super bummed I missed that. I know you had talked about it for a while but its good to hear that you're doing well.
Don't worry though, we'll get you on that mixte frame soon enough!

seriously though,
we thought you had straightened up and left your pirating days behind you
its good to hear you'll be plundering again any week now
see you soon

ok pirates. a weekend of fun is coming up. some usefulness here...

- if you don't want to race on Saturday, you can always work a checkpoint instead.
- let's do an 8pm pirate meetup, so folks who want to do CM can.
- keep prodding those out of towners.
- saturday brunch? a ride on sunday? or is that too much?

all sounds good to me, i think a full schedule like that is good, i'm sure that work will interfere for me, and others have stuff to do <maybe?> so we can all join in and have fun when we have time.

any suggestions for brunch? any places in DC like Hilary's in chicago?

As long as we do not need to ride in front of a firehouse on our way there.

There are lots places in logan and dupont not far from race start that serves great brunch (foo bar). All else fails, there is Kramers. I'm prodding the neo NY'rs on their Prospect Park race thread , could use some help there.... Chimbly?

Asylum is where brunch is *at*. vegan friendly, bike friendly, tasty waffle fries.

Don't think I'll make CM,I prolly won't be able to slick out of work early. Sherwood @8 s'no prob.

Define "brunch time" please. Y'all aren't those kind of mutants that actually walk around before noon on the weekends are you? ;)

we were talking 2pm

Great News!!!! Count appearance waved! Judge is motioning to dismiss, but DA is still resisting. Will know very soon :)

if i can siphon some of the phlegm out of my lungs in time >>hack<< i'll try to join up and keep it at least partially awesome.

You could always bundle up in a blanky and do a check point.

BTW:NyQuil/DayQuil,NyQuil/DayQuil,NyQuil/DayQuil,NyQuil/DayQuil...you've got plenty of time to knock to out.

also, i was in San Fran over break, and after biking up Lombard St., wandered into 826 Valencia's Pirate Supply Store, perhaps the greatest thing ever. Glass eye balls, peg legs, a tub o' lard, pirate flags, message bottles, etc. Lots of essential booty for pillaging and plundering.

next time you're there, check it out for sure. and remember: "if deck is salty there will be lashings"

also also: what's this friday thang?

I knew it!
i >>heart<< mcSweeneys.

yup, a d. eggers creation indeed.

NYC's got a superhero supply store

Michigan's got the International Monsters Union (local 826)

and Seattle's got the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co.

those pirate supplies, though, were some of the best i've seen from any landlubbers. Arrr.

In Bavaria you would get a liter of warm/hot beer with honey...

Sounds like Baronjager mit beer

nothing like finishing another bike, riding it around town, find a neighborhood store you've never noticed and getting home b4 the rain. :)
