Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

Hains Pt Sunday sounds fabulous, but might want to expand to more points if the weather is really great.

A pre india pillage, there must be a great name for a ride in there some where.

something w the East indies or the indian ocean....

Feb 1 is an un-polo night, and i'd like to do something fun with the pirates. anyone want to co-conspire on the planning with me? i know this is a bit in advance, but i want to do something pillagariffic.

It isn't really connected to India, but I had an idea while in NYC to have a pillage based on the movie The Warriors. Someone would have to figure out which bars would symbolize which gangs; we'd need a dumpy dive bar for The Orphans, a sports bar for The Baseball Furies, a bikerish bar for The Turnbull AC's, and I'm not sure what kind of bar would be a good symbol for The Punks. Maybe someone who knows the movie can think of one. Oh, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about check out this site (http://warriorsmovie.co.uk/).

Like I said, it has nothing to do with India so it might not be a great idea. Maybe some other time...or never...it's up to the majority to decide I guess.

god, no, not the warriors.....yeah, and I killed Sirus...because I felt like it

i'll plan something with you julie.

edit: WABA has some el cheapo bikeshorts on sale for real cheap. 5ive dollah holla!

Okay...so this was Spud's idea, but I'm gonna take it and run with it for a quick, last-minute, "Say Hello, Say Goodbye...to the Ninja" pillage. Come one, come all tomorrow night on Ninja's first and last pillage with the DC Pirates.

I want to do a round of my favorite bars in DC ending up at the midnight (11:50pm) screening of the Big Lebowski tomorrow night in Arlington. http://www.arlingtondrafthouse.com/

Start time 7:30 PM Friday, January 20 at the Big Hunt (dinner @ 6:30 @ Baja Fresh 1333 New Hampshire Ave NW).

Please join me/us for a night of riding, drinking, and merriment!

I think this means we need to stop by his place during pillage.
May he feed us more pancakes and cheeessee.

this drinky pillage en route to the big lebowski is a great idea for a ride. i vote to stop at l'enfant and get some of that awesomely good (and potent) delirium ale.

i already spoke with him, hes at a concert tomorrow night, he may show up at the movie, maybe not...hes probably going to hang out saturday night though; i think we should throw a busted knee party for our injured brothers and sisters.

I love that movie! "I am the walrus."

Soooo there.

I'm guessing the me and B. Bike are going to be at the same concert (Less Than Jake at the 9:30). But, if he can make it to the movie than so can I, since neither of us will have our bikes with us.

I can't make it to Badger Fresh, but I'll get to the Big Hunt for some of that good sarsaparilla, and of course I'm in for Lebowski Lebowski.

But 7:30 Friday is after sunset, can we roll on Sabath?

I will end up meeting up with you folks en route

Pn'C I never new you were a Jew

Hells yes!

That's a great plan, Walter. That's f*ckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly!

Nothing is fu(ked here, Dude. But i won't be meeting up with you guys until 10-10:30ish. So fu(kers, answer your phones. (I have Dave, LBK and Peter's #)

Are these Nazi's Walter?
No Donny, these men are Nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Just once, I would like to have MY work referred to as being "vaginal"

"I only mention it 'cause sometimes there's a man, I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero, but sometimes there's a man, and I'm talking about the Dude here, sometimes there's a man, well, he's The Man for that time and place. He fits there. And that's the Dude. In Los Angeles."

Okay folks...Tonight's gonna rock. Clearly we are all excited to see the Dude [or his dudeness, or duder, or el duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing] in action. But that's not where the fun stops. There is a special event spokecard for tonight and two door prizes...

The first prize goes to whomever brings me a pirate spokecard. And the second goes to whomever finishes the pillage in truest ninja-pirate form... What does this mean exactly? Well, it's 'to-be-determined' but I have a few ideas and I am open to suggestions.

See you all at 6:30 or 7:30...

ninja

how about 530 Hains Pt for a few laps while it is before sabath

Sorry, I can't make HP. I need to run home from work at 5:00 for a few things. I will be out in full force at Baja Fresh at 6:30.

6:30 baja
7:30 Big Hunt

would someone clue Boogerbike in?

clue him into what ****er?

Ninja Hello/Gbye Pillage=bittersweet. snarfle. snarf, snaarrf. Who will fill the ninja void? Answer: no one. Everything is such an effing travesty. Ok, so we rode many miles, had many beers, laughs, and hurdled thru the treacherous wasteland of VA Rt 50/Arlington Blvd. offramps to Columbia Pike (never again...because in the end I think Rt 50 swallowed Spud. Spud, where you at?). Lebowski rules; Narnia's for tools. And I (easily) got Noah to get into a garbage can. Awesome pillage, Ninja. We're all sad to see you go.

BOo to you losers who didn't show up. You suck. Redeem thyself:

*Sunday SUNDAY Sunday*
January 22
Haines Ride, 2nd edition
10 am, and I don't want to hear no guff!
Meet near the first tennis court parking lot, near Tourmobile World Headquarters!
If you arrive late, ride counter clockwise to find "us," the royal "we," the editorial...
Bring 1.5 Sacajewea dollars fer awesome grilled cheese afterward, Club House, noonish.
New people always welcome. It's fun. We're nice. You'll see.

Anyway, tomorrow I will have a lot of 'roid rage to work out after having to be at work for the better part of today when it's 65 degrees out. Get out and enjoy it if you can. Out, cat.

Pics are up now. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/38438631@N00/sets/72057594051882548/)

Who will fill the ninja void? Answer: no one.
This is very true. I love thee Ninja. We shall spit on more Acura's, MBs, and BMWs in honor of you.

And I (easily) got Noah to get into a garbage can. (Pics to follow.)
Uh. Hmmm. I guess i am pretty easy. I'll try harder to not be easy in front of cops. From now on, only difficult in front of cops.

Are you telling us that you are juicing, LBK!?!?!?

the goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain!

so did you guys go over to wilson blvd? i did circles at the hotel for a few minutes and didnt see any of you then just took off for rosslyn. since my job is so slow today does anyone want to meet up for lunch? i got plenty of time so i can bike anywhere.

ninja,
you will be missed.
unless you fail to send us cases of New Glarus beer.
then you will just be hated.

*hug*

yarrr mates,
Kenton Emo and I are going to go drinking tonight starting around 9 at Kenton's and wandering around Adam's Morgan, looking to be another nice warm night so come on out and cheer up the busted-knees kids.

Hey guys. I won't be making it to Haines. Mechanical difficulties. This weekend has officially gone to **** by preventing me at every turn from riding my bike in nice weather. Carry on without me.

Sorry we missed you yesterday LBK. I hope your mechanical difficulties get squared away, and you're back on the road soon. Don't feel like you missed nice weather though, it ended up getting pretty damned cold and windy out there. All you ended up missing was some crazy suicidal cardinal (the avian kind not the catholic kind).

Nuts! After hitting two LBSes, and enduring the cowing "conversion of shame" lectures/looks in each in order to get a $2 part and back on my bike, I've got the problem fixed.
Nothing was stripped-- the tracknuts were the wrong size, so that's why everything has been slowly creeping in my dropouts for the past few months, and finally, twistin in the wind after I tried to tighten down for chain tension one too many times. All set now, I hope.
Highlight of my day:
LBS: "I really shouldn't be working on this. There's stuff on that wheel doing stuff that's not meant to do that stuff."
Me to self: "Ah, conversions...how could it be wrong, when it feels so right?"

Wednesday? Polo or a ride?

so did you guys go over to wilson blvd? i did circles at the hotel for a few minutes and didnt see any of you then just took off for rosslyn.

I circled around to look for you,but only saw your blinkie disappearing into the distance. I figured you were peeling off to go your own way,so I spun my 33/21 for all it was worth to catch up with the rest of the group. We wound up taking S Walter Reed/Fillmore straight over to Clarendon,which was a smoother ride than that trail mess Tink led us down. I swear,Tink's gotta have some kinda bat sonar or sumptin,the way he was running those trails without a light. :eek: Next time I go to Arlington,I'm taking the Fillmore route.

The Surly's staying in the hangar until I can do some TCTO work. Way too undergeared.

Ninja: great ride man. Hope to see you at polo Wed. Maybe we'll even let you win. :D

kevin..
we're goin to miss you brother

good ride though (http://www.flickr.com/photos/57138474@N00/sets/72057594052957545/)

Tomorrow morning, i will be having a small surgery to fix my nose due to a bicycle accident a few months ago. This will involve having thee nose reset and removal of a piece of pavement from said nose. I know how sexy this all sounds. This means, no riding for me until maybe Friday or Saturday. However, this also means, no work and Rx Drugs. Lots of them. Reading too. This should be a fun week.

i know, very obnoxious

hope it goes well and safe tomorrow. (I'm resisting making a joke about having stephen malkmus removed from your nose. surgery is serious.) Get well soon! I must go before the zombies make me hurl.

Good luck with the surgery man.

(P.S. were did you find your undead dairy product friend there?)

LBK, if you ever need help w the bike, please let me know. Actually, if any Pirates need to do maintenance and need space and tools, please let me know.

additionally, if any one needs surgery at a rock bottom price, esp to their face, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Word up P-rats! Thanks for everyone that came out on Friday and thanks as well to those who wanted to come but were unable to join us. Sorry I am slow wit' the pix and vids from that night, but all my ****e is on my computer at home. I will try to post sometime soon.

I've had a great time riding wit' you all and have finally learned how cool DC can actually be (Too bad it took me two years to find out). So I've still got a week here so let's do some riding while the gettin's good.

Peter, I could use a root canal. Do you do dentistry?

Pancakes are the new pie.

I'm planning a ride for Tuesday, February 28, National Pancake Day.

Save the date, suckas.
