Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

I thought it was 30 minutes spent deciding where to go first?

with starting from homebase, i think that creates another problem of mustering exit velocity from warmcozydrinksyumdontwannaleave homebase, which in the end could kill more time.

or why don't we make the meet up time 7:30, and then the slacker (sometimes me) will be punctual

how about saying we'll roll out at 7:10 or so, and if you're late, just make sure you have someone's cell #.

tonight, please dress warm. we'll be riding up to Florida ave to play on a track. when you're not riding, you might get very very cold.

Should we consider meeting up at Homebase
+10
this is brilliant.

i for one am all in favor of not shivering my ball bearings off while standing and waiting for spud to show up.

PLUS they like us at hBase (<------)
PLUS they have food
PLUS they serve tEh booze
PLUS they,, well screw it,, it rocks!

ALL IN FAVOR OF BOOGER's IDEA?
say `aye

Geez, I want to go .. haven't been on a bike in a while cause of apartment hunting. Tongiht's the office xmas / get your drink on party - gotta hit that.

to homebase or sherwood? whither?

i am jamming out of here at 4:30 to buy gloves.

ok, homebase.
7pm.

I know this is going to be funny coming from me, but if I don't show tonight don't be mad that I made everyone change the meeting place. I just think it is a good idea till spring.

Work sucks but I am going to try and make it.

don't be mad

dude, i know we've had some good times...
but now...
....
they're all over!

We're through you hear me!?! DONE!
no more late night snuggle sessions, no more friendly reacharounds,,
you and me -- we're DEAD to each other

punk
you better not show.
they'll be trouble
i geeh-ron-tee

the other thing is, it should be known where the first place we're going to before we freeze another 15 minutes after the slacker arrives, ive been the slacker last couple times. i mean why wait the ten minutes if you know who the slacker is and the slacker knows where the first stop is? < this is mostly for cold weather, in the spring and summer waiting 10 or 15 minutes is fine.

we're DEAD to each other


Tink! No. Baby. I didn't mean it.

no i'm serious...

here
take it! i don't want it!
you can have your stupid camo teddy

Justin is drinking tons of Sparks, we think he is working on number 8.
There is another 6 pack in the fridge :P

last night was much, much fun.

i'm still waiting for that broadband toaster i was promised.

quick rundown for the losers who didn't make it:
drinks at warehouse
racing on the cardozo HS track
drinks at pharmacy
viewing the national holiday tree and yule log
riding about the capitol
justin drinking many, many sparks at peter's house
riding home in the snow at 2am

Last night was cool, I feel like I left way to early and missed all the good best, pathetic I know. 8 Sparks?! Sounds electricfying :eek: Let us all know when you post the pics Chimbly.

oh I see you already did post them, sweet.

i only had 12 photos. it's because my batteries died and i totally forgot that i was carrying extras. sheesh. we did get a good group shot, though.

Why'd you mofos have to make me drink a case of sparks and ride home in the mess? Yarrr!

PNC, stop stealing internet! You might be looking at serious time!

dude
i think i just might be the most un-photogenic person alive.
either that or I truely am the ******-lips

and everybody be cool,,,,

kenny wenny and i made up last night
all is well again in the city

I just came across this (http://videos.streetfire.net/iPlayer.aspx?fileid=04809DFC-978A-4A59-B151-AE548C525CDB) on another thread, apologies to those who have seen it before, but this is a seriously dangerous "bicycle". I needed this on the track last night.

holy jesus thats scary!!!

no thanks
i'll take burritos and sparks as my jet fuel

That is awesome. Inspiring!!!

true, there was not much mileage, and there was bowing out early... but from my perspective the track was fun and full of potential, falafel was gobbled, and best of all that hot hot yule log action! i'm glad to have sucha fun ride to ease back into things >>lingering hack<<!

ps. tink, cyclocross was fun! we're smart!

You know it baby.

Why'd you mofos have to make me drink a case of sparks and ride home in the mess? Yarrr!

Make you? Nobody made you. We handed you the cans,you drank them. There was no force involved. Some crying perhaps,but no force. ;)

And please tell me that you're just kidding and you really stayed over at poop's. Sparks+skinny smooth tires+snow=not a good idea.

OBTW Chimbley,good thing I had my protective eyewear. Salt truck passed me going up Mass and I felt something ping off the lens with great force. Protective eyewear rocks!


PNC, stop stealing internet! You might be looking at serious time!

Not stealing,sharing. :D

*takes a bow*

Look, I can't even poke my eye out! Even if I try!

ps- hope y'all weren't kidding about Web TV, cuz i just bought one... :rolleyes:

No, I really did sail the salty seas! It wasn't very slippery, but you're right, it wasn't my finest moment. My girlfriend didn't think it was a very good idea either. I should have left earlier.

ps- hope y'all weren't kidding about Web TV, cuz i just bought one... :rolleyes:

It can't be any worse than Windows 95.

so have any of yall recovered from a torn acl?

You tore your ACL?!?!?! I am assuming not completely?

i got an mri wed, then cheated and got the radiologist report faxed to mommy yesterday.. which says the acl is torn at the femur. but i go to the orthopedic dr again monday morn, he'll give me the whole rundown for surgery and whatnot

omg... i'm SO sorry!

HOld UP!~

now i must have missed something here.
I remember seing you on friday
you were walking just fine.
what happened after i left?
what happened to you.
i need to hear this story.

and of course, first things first, I'm so sorry to hear the bad news.
besides wishing you a speedy recovery, i hope it doesn't hurt too bad.:(

well thank you.
i rode into julie and fell off right before getting to raven. thats all i can really remember. maybe she can recount it better than i. i landed on my knee. havent ridden since. boooooooo

so have any of yall recovered from a torn acl?

i messed up my right knee riding home today, i'll tell you all about snow on the custis trail at the pirate holiday party after i get my 2 bits from chimbly. *toasts* to a fast recovery.

i think you and LBK were just having a un-photogenic night, emphasis on night, i have very nice photos of both of you.

Why'd you mofos have to make me drink a case of sparks and ride home in the mess? Yarrr!

chimbly and i suggested you stay at pnc's the next second you were riding on rhode island in the snow.

Can I get broadband on my toaster internet appliace?

of course, msn bought out webtv, i think you'll still be ok with whatever you got on ebay.

Where are you guys going? YARRRLINGTON?

awesome. I think the yarrrlington pirates need to plan a virginia pillage.

Come on drink another sparks, are you a man or another name for a kitty?
fine, but i need to get home after this one
*cries* big girl? *cries*
fine, but i need to get home after this one. I hate you campbells soup guy!
you hater
I am a hater, look at this hipster, is your pants leg rolled up? you hipster!
fine i'll drink your last sparks for you.
no more sparks! no, I need to get home. ok I'll have a beer, not that Heineken ****

ahh, those who left early missed out. was a beautiful ride in the snow last night too.

a good time was had by all.

anyone who's hardcore enough to want to ride this weekend, ring me up. i'm thinking Okashii could use some time down on the point.

well thank you.
i rode into julie and fell off right before getting to raven. thats all i can really remember. maybe she can recount it better than i. i landed on my knee. havent ridden since. boooooooo

on 16th, we were crossing an intersection/turn lane, chelsea came up a little fast didnt really notice until it was too late and her front wheel crossed with julie's rear wheel, julie managed to stay up and pedal out of it but chelsea lost balance and hit the pavement still straddling the bike, i think if she had let go it would have been less severe, but her bike kind of pinned her left leg on impact. it could have been worse.

i lost control on the W&OD riding into work yesterday, hit some black ice and back wheel just slipped out, i was able to keep balance for a few more feet but didnt compensate enough and it slid underneath me again, luckily i was able to unclip and just let it slide; i landed on my right leg and hands; so i guess i could have damaged my right knee then, but i didnt feel any pain then or the rest of the night. so whatever i did this morning, i think is just a strain or twist.

ride with your helmets kids, be cautious when riding in groups, slow down and ride gently when its around freezing, keep cellphones within arms length if youre riding alone. keep it awesome. :)

peace,
spud

looks to be a lovely weekend... and i forgot that i have no interweb at home. so, plans!

spud and i are riding Haines Pt tomorrow at 1pm. meet us in the tennis courts parking lot - the one on the corner there by the stop sign.

Okashii and i, we'll be there, wheel flipped, ready to ride.

Looks like you can nest messages into perpetuity.

Hmmm. I work till 6, but i'll give one of you guys a ring when i get out. See if you all are still mayheming the town.

Martini's, champaign...... & SPARKS! Not sure, when I'll be back up in DC. Have dinner with the happy couple in DC later tonight, but if I get back in time, Haines needs to be ritilined.

that makes no sense at all.

that makes no sense at all.

I will, if you are drinking what I'm drinking :P

I'm heading back up to DC later today and will meet up with my friends (whose wedding I was partying at last night ) in DC later tonight for dinner. the time between me arriving at DC and dinner time is riding time.

still no sense, go home and get some sleep when you get back in town, maybe you can ride with us sunday.

This boy. Too Sick. I think. I won't be joining you folks after work.

today is december 10th, 2005. julie laura and i did laps at haines point, we saw roadies and julie dropped one of them. then dave flaked on dinner. laura was tanked by 9:15, i gotta go work is about to end.

tink is a flake.
you said you'd make us dinner.
we're still hungry.

I feel fat and slow...everything sucks...

my extremely hungover self has run out of NYT and interweb to read, so i am now forced to find something else to do.

i'm headed for H Pt, i'll be there from about 1230 - 3. call if you're coming. ride counterclockwise to find me.
