definitely going, but 80% sure I will be riding up. If anyone wants to ride let me know... a huge caravan would be great fun.

(would most likely ride up Friday and camp there)

grrrrrrrr. i was trying to make it, but flights are too expensive this late in the game. my boys are going. im super jelly.

please find a dozen frames you love but can't afford, then buy one of them on a credit card with an outrageous interest rate (because that's what i'd do if i could go there).

Like I said, we'll have a car. Paul (Paul and Pista on the forums) might want to ride up so Rikardi151 you might have company. In any case, we'll be there with room in the car.

You should go. I want to meet people and make all kinds of connections! Networking is bawls out awesome.

cool. Maybe if you have some extra room you could bring some loot back with you. I am planning on buying a touring frame there along with other shiz. I know I will have at least 5 other people with me so far. Paul, if you see this you should PM me.

That's the craziest thing anyone has ever said to me! Anything involving bikes is fun, plus buying stuff for my new bike is even more fun. :)

you should just buy stuff for me instead, since you seem to be little miss moneybags.

i'm little mister empty pockets right now. damn, this sucks.

Nah, I'm not miss moneybags, but I'll buy you a beer if you come to the swap meet.

root beer sounds fantastic though.

I think the girl & I are driving up, but if any of you biking there need stuff hauled back & I can fit it in a Jetta, let me know. Trying to find a frame for her that weighs less than her current behemoth 70's Schwinn -- what type of stuff do you guys usually find there? I'm not sure if I should expect a bunch of track stuff cause it's at the velodrome or just more of a garage sale-type thing.

Hey mister! Don't think I won't beat you when you get home.. I mean.. ****...

You get things that are better than beer from me. ;)

I may be going to the swap meet now. The lady said she would go and buy me stuff. And buy the lady I mean my girlfriend, not RRH. I don't think she understands how much stuff can cost that I want though. Oh well, at least I get to go. See you suckers there.

RRH: bring the root beer. for real, I'm gonna find you and demand it.

Just checked my boys travel soccer schedule and they've have no games that day. Unless my wife has plans, I'm hoping to make it down from the Poconos. What time does it start as I know a lot of the good ***** is gone early in the day? Do I dare ask how much cash to bring?

ryand
09-26-06, 04:11 PM
where in the poconos are you? i thought the swap meet was in the poconos at the lehigh valley velodrome?

I'm about an hour's drive north of Trexlertown and the velodrome, in a town named Long Pond. I'm like three miles from the Pocono Raceway where NASCAR holds the Pennsylvania 500 and the Pocono 500.

My girlfriend is from Jim Thorpe. Her dad is trying to get me out on the trails with him, but I currently lack the bike to do it with.

I'm going, I;ve never been able to go to one of these before. Riding up sounds fun, but not leaving early enough to get there around 9 before all the scavengers take all the good stuff. Don't know if my volvo can even make it as far as lehigh valley these days.

I'm a stones' throw from Jim Thorpe. Been meaning to ride the trails there with my singlespeed mtb but free time is hard to come by these days. There are a few trails near me that I've ridden but they are mostly multi-use trails with rocks the size of cantaloupes!

ryand
09-26-06, 04:37 PM
well, when i get a mtb and head up that way, you can come out riding and let a middle aged man school our asses. her dad is so awesome.

Sounds like a plan. having not been on my mtb in quite some time, anybody would probably school my mid-30s ass!

ryand
09-26-06, 04:42 PM
i'm 22, but the dude is out on the trails ever weekend. i'm sure i could school him in a city, but he is gonna wreck me on the trails for sure. ha.

I'll be riding up again this year on Saturday morning. The ride up in spring was a real character builder since it poured the whole way up and back. If anyone else from the Reading area is interested in riding drop me a line. Otherwise I'll see you guys there.

No, I not going...

I think they sell root beer there. I'll get you a frosty mug there.

And I thought you said your girlfriend was Jim Thorpe.. Silly me.
