Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

I gotta ride into DC on a day off from class to checkout some bike polo. I've never seen nor played it.

is that juli's face?

why yes it is chris. theres a myspace group called "i wanna f*ck julianna lose" where rocky photoshops pictures of her and its amazing.

hah, I knew about that group. I heard its full of rolls of carpet. if you know what I mean, and I know you do.

ok, I'm lost, being old and that

haha.

tom deleted most of the good ones. but the best part is that juli's cousin joined the group. yeah jersey!

yeah something about that would normally creep me out, but since theyre from jersey its almost 83% understandable. its still a little weird.

damn kids!

but do understand the "weird nj" part

damn kids!

crazy kids and their crazy stunts.

i love weird nj! i used to go to the bookstore and read that while i was at work. not on my lunch break either, i would just go read and come back an hour later. oh, the camera shop, i actually miss it.

http://dcfixed.com/ will soon be up and running, contact me if you have good color coordination and some ideas...a working mailing list is in progress too, and better calendar sooner or later.

Hell yes! I was wondering when we were gonna get on that ****.

My first suggestion is to get rid of all the line breaks at the top of the page!

That's a pretty awesome intro graphic.

Let me know what you might need. I recommend easy to read for a color scheme - light gray background, black type.

Whoa sweet.

Is the mailing list for rides, CM and stuff? If so, I think that's a great idea.

CM tomorrow (Thursday, 9/7) in College Park. Meeting at 6pm at the sundial in the middle of U of Maryland's mall. If anyone's going to be around you should ride :) Some people are going downtown afterwords for the PeaceForum event at 7ish.

cya,

Everyone has to learn sometime. Recommend that you do some searching on the net about bike parts and how they all fit together. You will have a better appreciation for what to look for when considering a build.

when comes to finding fixie parts:

best shop to annoy - citi bikes - adams morgan
best shop to keep your sense of humor because they will get annoyed at you after the 100 other people who asked the same damn fixie question that day - citi bikes adams morgan
best "junk yard wars" bike shop - chain reaction - North Cap and P
best shop to be laughted out the door - pro-shop - geo town
best shop on the same block as pro-shop - revolution - geo town
best shop not worth crossing into VA - revolution - wilson blvd

good luck

the best way to learn may be to soak it up by visiting one of our social events

Thanks alot....ive been to about 3 of those shops and when i asked about certain fixie parts or fixed gear bikes they didnt seem to know wtf i was talking about lol....this was a while ago tho.....im pretty knowledgable about the parts and things i need thanks to this place.....

Anyone know where i can get purple deep v rims? i wanna see what degree of purple they are and i cant find any good pictures of any online....Please Help!!!

The purple is 'eggplant'.

I'd forgotten all about it, and then yesterday got the email from Ergott that my deep V's are now built up and ready for dispatch.

I can't even recall what colour I ordered them in! It was either white or yellow... but for the life of me I have no idea.

Thanks for the pic reminder though...

* bounces around like tigger *

i have a set of 'eggplant' deep-Vs, let me know if you want to see them.

Zacked thanks alot for the picture i had been looking all over for a picture like that or on with the on a bike.

Spud just let me know the condition and how much you want

Spud that's awesome! Let me know if I can help at all.

Hassan347, College Park bikes has a ton of great fixie stuff as well as all the places poop listed.

spud would never sell his nycbikes wheelset. who would he shill for then? :)

EDIT: that's right, i hate freedom

i'd sell em. i can speak truth without a wheelset! i'd like to replace a couple spokes that got bent from the accident, before i sell em.

polo was a great time yesterday. hello to all the new people who showed up.

hey you pirates that work at city bikes,
hit me up on a PM.
i need a favor...

ps- i am finally going to give up on waiting for work to send me to dc and pay for a freaking ticket home. i'll be there some weekend in oct. details to follow.

chimbly, be sure to give an advanced notice because i was going to plan a picnic in october, i was thinking the 14th.

IS there a full moon ride tonight? need to stretch my cranks.

IS there a full moon ride tonight? need to stretch my cranks.

YES! trail bike needs to be used once in a while.

So is there a moon ride tonight and please have something for this fri or sat. or have we becoem BORING?

Plus there a post on the last page about a College Park CM? What's the deal with that?




6pm at the sundial on Maryland's campus. Maybe swing by Proteus for their potluck afterwords?

I don't know how many people are going to show up, this is the first one since classes started again and it hasn't been advertised.

Is Tom gonna be at Proteus tonight? Not that Jill is not pleasant enough, but I want to show Tom the BASSO he helped me with. Plus there are kayak building pix that would be fun to show Jill.

Well, where ever we go, I'm bringing the BASSO.

Moonlight Pillage is 8:30 in front of the Lincoln Memorial, tonight!

Be there or be []!

I'd be up for some fat tire riding on sunday as well, I haven't touched my MTB in months.

Fat Sunday Pillage?

have spare fat tire bike if anyone needs it...and it is single speed :)

fat sunday indeed. the ffx cc trail looks fun, but the c&o's probably more accessible to everybody. wanna say 10:30 am with a picnic lunch?

pnc, i might be interested in that spare fat tire bike for sunday. i'll get back to you.

C & O to white's ferry? there is a country store there... for lunch - approx 20-25 miles

sounds like a plan.

SUNDAY
fat tire pillage
10:30 a.m.
meet under the key bridge (on the canal, not K street)

EDIT: skinny tires of course welcome. this will be for the most part hard packed dirt so you'll be ok. bring patch stuff just in case.

Last night, I fell in love with an affair called Bike Polo. My cassette helped me out big time to perform well as a virgin. I sped here and there, but I was way too anxious to control the wiffle ball smoothly for long enough.....except that one time I SCORED for team: Us, Edition 2!!

Tonight, I'll romance the ride with a bottle of white under the full moon. Full Moon Bikes and Wine (or whatever) 8:30 west-end reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial (23rd & Independence Ave NW)
