Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Chicago - Menage-a-time-trial tomorrow morning?

Steak and I are meeting up at the Starbucks across from Yojimbos at 10am to ride the upcoming Menage-A-Time-Trial. We plan on keeping a snails pace, so if you have a cup holder you can mount on your bars to hold your venti mochaccino frappaloo you should bring it.

Yeah. 10am. Starbucks by Yojimbos. Peace.

I'll be out riding my cross bike on the path so if you see
me as you zoom by say "hey"

You guys should stop by the office and bring me some lunch.

We're meeting at 11 instead of 10. Steaky like sleepy.

Oh man I just got home from riding on the path and the headwind
coming from the north is brutal. mmm...lemon poppy seed muffin

winds of up to 30mph today, dropping to a reasonable 15-20mph. Yay.

i love wind. you guys are pus$y wimps. yay for the southside.

Hey! I just said the wind was brutal, I still rode in it!
If just complaining means I'm a pus$y than I'm the biggest pus$y in the world
...oh wait...I take that back.

Lkae shore path u r a traet!!!111


Smooth sailing all the way down this morning (w/chiamdream, schloe moe). Followed up by Hot Doug's.

PERFECT.

Northbound at around 10 was pretty fierce, staying at 2/3 my normal speed out there was rough going. Southbound a little after noon you could have spread your arms and sailed.

I think I saw some people out scouting the route, anybody else pass the guy walking the tri bike rather than face the wind?

The wind coming back North was pretty bad but nowhere near as bad as the wind on Elston last Sunday.

mmmm.. hot dougs.

yeah lake path southbound was so nice. mlk coming back north was un-awesome.

Anyone else want to ride this tomorrow (Monday)?

Ohhh..... hot dougs!!!!!

Contemplating a fixer... I've been riding a cyclocross bike forever. If Hot Dougs is part of riding a SS in Chicago, I'm in for sure!

Anyone else want to ride this tomorrow (Monday)?

Yes but only if we ride MLK one of the ways, it is Martin Luther King Day after all.

EDIT: what time are you thinking? 10am?

Seriously? I rode MLK last night around 2am and loved it. But it was 2am and it was only me and the occasional unhoused outside. I rode it there and took LFP back, see MLK has a steady 3% grade downhill to 51st and always seems to have a wind from the north. So I only ride it south. Honest.

I had more problems on the north side: (1) division st apparently some happening nightlife at 1:30am, there were two seperate drunk girls who thought I was a twelve year old running away from home or something (2)How do I get from Division -> LFP? I took some ped-walkway at chicago and there were stairs and urine everywhere. Unawesome would be an understatement.

naturally. How's noon at the starbucks start point?
