Also, I signed up for the MS150 (https://www.nationalmssociety.org//PAE/personal/default.asp?pa=55449335&pd=PAE0EMS120060916CTS) (a ride from Philly to Ocean City, NJ, 75 miles each way, broken into two days.)

It is a weekend in Mid-September. I also created a team for the DC Pirates for anybody that wants to join Photons and I. It should be a ton of fun and is for a good cause. I think we should get a large team together. If you want to sign up, just be sure to enter the team name DC Pirates and join the team as well. Um yeha, back to work.

Mondays and Tuesdays are my off days. I'm working Wednesdays again now that I've been a little bad with money.

Anyway, I look forward to venturing into Sherwood Tuesday at 7 to celebrate the pi-radical return of ScurvyDog NoahDeuce from his Pacific exploits!

Is Washington Circle the one where the Foggy Bottom station is? 1:00 is better for me, but I'd go on an early lunch for that.

Yes, Foggy Bottom Station 1pm is fine with me.

Perhaps you're kidding, but it's clearly a camera housing, probably for underwater use... The lens might give that away;)

Anybody that wants to sign up for this ride, there is a waiver that needs to be filled out and faxed in by August 18th(edit: I can fax it in for you if you don't have a fax machine), which is Next Friday. I will provide shelter Friday night in Philly, the ride starts from 6:30am-8am, so Photons and I said 8 sounds right. It is a very well provided ride. Lets get a good sized team in on this. RPC- I know you want to.

I'm totally into the MS150's ... but isn't there a entry $ and fund raising $ amt?

spud
08-11-06, 02:57 PM
all right, so since i'm missing out on some good polo action and a ice cream pillage, i think we need to have another picnic at the point when i get back. since the roadway is supposed to close at 3, (we think it was a fluke last time) if you are bringing anything heavy please be in around 2, first person in and finds a spot, lock your bike up as close to the road as possible and call others, the spot we had last time was pretty nice. and lets do some kind of sign up list so we make sure all food items are covered and we dont end up taking a bunch of stuff home again, i still got a couple boca burgers and a bunch of pies left...

yes, $45 enter, you need to raise $250. but it'll be funnn. so far its photons and i. if you guys cant afford the entrance fee, you should at least pledge on one of us. i have somebody that is going to match whatever i have by the 15th up to $125(if i have $25, he puts $25, if i have $125, he puts $125, if i have $200, he puts $125)

but is a very well organized ride. food and everything.

dirtyphotons
08-11-06, 03:05 PM
wait, how does the matching up to $125 work?

BoogerBike
08-11-06, 03:16 PM
What is the dates for the MS150? If we get a team together we could all help fund everyone else. Kinda like a spill over plan.

So who is in for Monday, Hour of Power?

dirtyphotons
08-11-06, 03:23 PM
in for monday. oh we have a team my friend. Team DC Pirates (https://www.nationalmssociety.org//PAE/personal/my_team.asp?pa=55451270&pd=PAE0EMS120060916CTS)

ryand
08-11-06, 03:28 PM
the matching up to $125 is just a deal a friend of mine offered. but he said he wouldnt go over $125.

So far the DC Pirates Team (https://www.nationalmssociety.org//PAE/personal/my_team.asp?pa=55449335&pd=PAE0EMS120060916CTS) is only photons and I, but if you go to the page and want to do the ride, you can join the team as well. Every member needs to raise $250 to do the ride, and the money has to be raised yb next friday. also, you need to turn in your waiver next friday as well. the ride is on saturday september 16 and sunday september 17. i will be providing shelter in philly on september 15. also, no need to pack gear onto your bike, because they will bring your bags/luggage from start to finish for you. if we dont have the hotel room included in the $45 for the sign up and my friend from ocean city wont be in town or cant house us that night, then we are either gonna crash in a campsite type deal in ocean city. no matter what it will be good amounts of fun.

i'm in for the hour of power monday. where are we eating?

holla holla,

this is spud at dolface's joint, and first let me say OMG! dolface is the envy of me! hes got a display case with more nice schtuff than peter has on his mantle and bike bling out the ***! and so so cool, man and a very nice apartment, the SF kids are super cool. julie's friend's cousin's aunt's neice's mom's daughter's brother and ****, umm well i just hung out with her and Judah and Ben, and others tonight very little (none?) mention of this cycling friend, i can ask her tomorrow to give one of ya'all a call. otherwise don't trust the DC amtrak crew to check your baggage properly, mothafuccas! lazy sons of bitzches. yeah so back to awesome hosts, dolface = das Jamm! in case you didnt notice or meet dolface in chicago at the last MnG, hes just a super cool and friendly guy, and totally hooked me up with the other SFers to get a bike to ride while amtrak gets their ish together to deliver my Fuji, oh blessed Fuji how i miss thee! so pirates are being well represented by Julie and I this weekend, its too bad nobody else could get the time to come have fun with us, the hills of SF are going to rock tomorrrow! Team DFL solo, i hear there be good treasure for last place again this yarrr!

aye, duece was your call of any importance? i didnt see a voicemail...call back and leave a voicemail if i dont answer :)

peace and good night my fellow pirates

Hey everyone, it is a beautiful day and I am going on RPC's ride. I'm thinking of firing up the grill afterwards. So Anyone interested in swinging by...say 5ish. We'll grill eat, drink, play and then ride into the evening. Spread the word!

Spud - I didn't call you, but enjoy the West. *grin*

Spud, it sounds like a blast! I'm going to pray that your Fuji has found it's way to you, making use of the religion found at that polo game.

After "work", I may call Poopncow about joining the bbq. I hope grilling is a DC Pirate mainstay. It only makes sense. Pirates love cookouts, see: Buccaneer [French boucanier, from boucaner, to cure meat, from boucan, barbecue frame, of Tupian origin; akin to Tupi mukém, rack.]

cheeseburger subs are the new power bar.

i too am feeling all swole up. perhaps the reason you're so beat is all those front loaded hills that were making me feel like i took a load in the backside.

i less than three you guys.
