Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

yes. only use my real name. and take that down before the stalkers and haters see it. *meep!*

before the haters see it.

speaking of haters...
you'll never guess who i bumped into while in line at the burrito cart today.

yes, one of the original pirates, our very own - h8r

he's doing well, and although shaky on the idea of getting up "so early", is going to try and make it this weekend for laps at Haines.

man,, it's been a while since he rode with us.
and a lot has changed around these parts.

it was good to see the new faces last nice, and makes me excited for the new people we'll all meet once the weather warms a little.

for the time being it looks like only the toughest remain on the streets.

it must be in our blood.

tink,

I'm gonna cut your ****ing head off next time I see you. My neck is killing me today. You sucker-headlocking dingleberry...

much love,

ninja

ok so my non-pocket-sized surprise came in the mail today, well i'll have it tomorrow damn UPS now updating their tracking database until i'm already at work, i thought it was going to be arrive tomorrow. who locally has a chainwhip/lockring tool? I know Peter does but hes out of town, when does he get back? my non-matching wheels are going to rock Haines Point sunday, awwww cat!

Some of you pirate people suggested I repost this here.

My girlfriend and I will be traveling to D.C. for the World Can't Wait protest on Feb. 4th and will be bringing bikes. We will only be in town for a little while and part of it will be spent at the protest. What/where should we see/do/eat/ride while there? Will anybody else on FG/SS be at the protest?

boneless chicken. All (most) of the museums in town are free. The National Gallery is my favorite. http://www.nga.gov/
Also the Smithsonian: http://www.si.edu/museums
Asylum is a great shady bar. They also have veg. food. And if you hang with us, you will likely end up there.

*twiddles thumbs*

so dave, about those red spokes...

allow me...
2 tickets to Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, at the Birchmere. Tix are at will call. PM me if you want 'em.

Okay, photos from Wednesday are up...

Toothpaste anyone?

I created a DC Pirates "Group Photo Pool" on Flickr. Sort of a pirate central for all our pirate related photos. It's a "public" group, so everyone feel free to add all your pirate pics. or just your favorite ones.

The National Gallery is my favorite. http://www.nga.gov/

I don't know Hirshhorn would be tied for number 2. It has better sculpture and it's one exterior window has a great view of the mall.

I'm a little partial to the National Museum of the American Indian myself, http://www.nmai.si.edu/

and make sure you see the homeless guy who plays those crazy buckets at 11th and D.

gotta see him

The Hirshhorn museum is actually a flying saucer and that window is the cockpit. But PSSST!!! Don't tell anyone. ;)

Don't tell anyone.

dude sometimes i wonder about you....

ah, the re-appearance of go-go bucket guy at 10th and Constitution is always the first sign of spring for me.

Rodins nuthin'...The Lichtenstein Brushstroke is the Bomb-dizzle. I don't even know what that means.

For the record, I tried to edit this to say "tied for number 1" but the system wouldn't let my edit go through. The system was keeping me down, man!

I don't suppose we can make it Tuesday or Thursday, can we?

Wow, its great out! Ride? Mtn V? Hain
Any one for Mtn Vernon? Today 11ish?

Curse my lazy *****! I woke up too late. It's still not too late to get a ride in though.

I don't suppose we can make it Tuesday or Thursday, can we?

If not Wed, I vote for Thursday. Who's up for hains on Sunday? Was it 11 AM? LBK? Actually, the later the better, my whole immediate family is here.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow sometime after 11:00 AM. Earlier might be better.

peter, can you bring your chainwhip/lockring tool with you?

peter, can you bring your whip and tool with you?

ewww, sounds kinky.

ewww, sounds kinky.

way to take it out of context, *******

Ok, whiners:
11am TODAY, HAINES, RAIN OR SHINE.

Quit trying to move the schedule all around ****ers.
If something doesn't fit your schedule, take charge of your own ride, not other people's.

fo real, its not the pirates' fault your life sucks.

11am TODAY, HAINES, RAIN OR SHINE.

yeah i just woke up.. no lie.
so doesn't look like i'm going to be doing laps,
and as we all know... what does that make me?

that's right.

YO' MAMA! :D

what a piss poor showing: 3 pirates and a friend. and no chainwhip/lockring action!
props to LBK and Ninja for riding in the torrential rains and 45mph gusting winds. YARRR!

Did someone say baby daddy? Who that is?

Everyone go download "My Baby Daddy" by Nut N 2 Nice, Tink's theme song.

******lips has an e in it, papa.

me come home today. me sleepy and smelly and hating redeyes. me no like northworst airlines. me and spudsie, we plan funness for wednesday. ok, so maybe not plan. but come out to home base (not sherwood) at 7pm and feel the funness.

feel the funness.
J, what are you trying to say?

Chimbly, How was Chinese New Year on the LEft coast, LA should have been pretty cool...SF would hav even been better. Gosh... why are we not riding right now?

Gosh... why are we not riding right now?

because you did not plan a pillage

ok, in that case.

There are races coming up in baltimora and Phillie. Any interest parties? think Baltiminal is Feb 18 and we can rack fun on dustinlikewhat for being MIA .... if he even shows up

Phillie is March 11 and we can watch "12 monkeys" at my place b4 going to the race. (2 hr drive)

Spud, I did not get a chance to decide on the stupor bowl, but how far is it and when is it?

Furthermore, with the unusual improvements in weather and the eventual improvement in weather, I'm proposing a weekly ridey night, can be laps at Hains or trips on any of the trails. The point is ridey with social drinky and eats at the end of the ride. eventual scheduled races at hains (like thursday propect park) would be awesome too.
around 10 people showed at prospect last thursday at 10 pm in 25 degree weather.
thoughts????

its this weekend, umm i forget how many miles now, i want to say 17 hours. i dont plan on going.
