trikes/quads not allowed, footdown results in the player circling out of play, though we have not been strict on that lately.

Does he circle a single lap or continuously?

dirtyphotons
06-02-06, 07:46 AM
he or she just rides away from the play. like "taking the ball back" in basketball. then they're back in.

spud
06-02-06, 07:49 AM
single circle, just to get out of the playing action, though a whole lap might be a good idea at sherwood

... especially when a little fairy is pointing it out. Did Chicago air made you grow those wings? And do they make you faster on the bike or add drag?

Hmmmm. Spud took a few at the Warehouse, but nobody documented our demented highway detour on the way to Haynes Point.

Nice wings! Does the wine come out shaped like a cube, too?

chimblysweep
06-02-06, 09:17 AM
the wine comes out of the cube shaped like YUM and TASTY. it's pretty ok.

the wings sprouted about a week ago. they flap too, which is fun. they seem to be the accessory of choice at my apartment.

This month's DC Pirates Baseball Pillage will be this Thursday as the Nationals take on the Phillies.
$A Seven dollah holla!$

meet at Sherwood 6:00/6:15, we'll stock up on beers/sparks and slowly make our way down Mass Ave to E Capitol St. picking up late-working pirates on the way,
or just meet us in the stadium somewhere in the low 500s (501?) give us a call.

could you link me to said DC CM site. i didn't see any here (http://cm-dc.mahost.org/), but i might be either in the wrong place or just daft.

spud
06-05-06, 02:17 PM
yeah there are some problems with photo retention on the CM DC site.
the guy who runs the site is pretty cool, but i havent seen him at any rides in a while.

and a call out to all the lurking pirates :)
