mo wants me to race this

well, what Mo wants, Mo gets, right? ;)

i'm reeeeeally trying to get a ride/rental vanmates for this. what do you say tink?

i'm so so soooo there...

i'm in for a van-mate plus one. i really hope she doesn't cancel on me, because then i need to find a new girl to enter with.

is anyone from nyc driving up there. i sooo need to do this race. i have money and a sleeping bag. let me know. I also need a partner. I'm female if that helps

Well, you did say you wanted to hang out with the Pirates... Seems like a bunch of us are going, so if you don't find a ride from NYC you can prolly tag along with us if you can get here.

ohh baldylocks, good looking out. yea, i can be there thursday night. ok, hopfully someone from the city is going so i don't have to put u guys out, but if not, move over, just need room for my bike and I.

Keep us posted

dylandom:
i'm not on the NYC-specific board... maybe if you post there you can find a partner or ride?

hey hey. Nov 11th is my girls birthday and the 12th is mine. Both our 21st birthdays. This could be a fun EXTRAVAGANZA

did you see that Pabst is a sponsor?
cuz they are.
(that means free beer.)

is sadie hawkins the one who sings damn i wish i was your lover because that was a good song



...might can drive over with someone willing; plane = no

this race is sexist and anti-gay.

or, alternatively, the race is pro-girl! nobody's making you sleep with your race partner. gay men can just sign up with a girl. big dealio.

Chalk another one up from Boston...

Dear Abby,

My girlfriend's far away; can I date someone else for a night without telling her?

-Curious in Cincinnati.

i think abby would say yes.

Can I sign up with a transgender person?

ps, this is a serious question.

Please tell me you aren't serious

Can I sign up with a transgender person?
I'm pretty sure they'll be checking genitalia at the door.

nobody's making you sleep with your race partner.

my race partner is.

Can I sign up with a transgender person?

ps, this is a serious question.
here's what you need to know:
the goal of this race is to get women, who are underrepresented at races, to come out and race.
if a person self-identifies as a woman, and isn't just saying that to get out of paying the $40 reg (which goes to a good cause, I should add!), that's totally cool.

I think it's a good idea.

brean was trying to get this off the ground in nyc like teh LL race a while back

WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
I wanna goooo!!!!

WAAAAHHHHHH!!!

I hate law school.

hey pirates... we could kidnap her and bring her along.

or is kidnapping frowned upon?

Depends. Is kidnapping an NJS certified crime or not?

i think kidnapping is ok, so long as the getaway van is british racing green.

edit:
this race sounds like its going to be a lot of fun. hopefully chimbly doesn't make it super hard with some obscure stuff that only a native chicagoan would know.

i won't make fun of you for being in your first year... but third year is much better :D that's why i get to go ;)

aw, begging is so cute.

let's just tell you what everyone told me about this town:
it's layed out in a grid. you just have to know your grid.
(they're right, sorta. it's not A-B-C-1-2-3 grid, but the streets all correspond to block numbers N,S,W, or E.)

ive never left my beloved east coast. this timezone change is going to kill me!

i trust you chimbly. once you have the course done would you recommend a map?

chombo AND transplant in chicago! I'll see both of you there, i guess! that'll be rad. you guys gonna come out for my race too? haah...saturday, boys!

-jason

wait, chombo's coming to the race now? he told me he was going to be here the week before...

wow I didn't think people would take me that serious, I got a pm about my comment. Sorry guys, it was all meant to be light hearted.

ps,
transgendered riders are SEVERLY under represented at races.

it's actually a question i've gotten before.
the registration fees are gender- and not sex-based, anyone who deep inside feels they're a woman can register as a woman.

*sound of **** hitting fan*

Chris, are you and aaron still staying at my place?

Pirate excursions to Chicago-
oh, the memories of riding ***** in the back of poop's car, with jitensha and kenton on either side, asleep, and at one point, drooling.

good times.....good times.....

come to the picnic saturday?
puh puh puh-leassseee?

Chris, are you and aaron still staying at my place?

we're still hashing out the travel plans, but your floor was a factor in that equation. is there parking anywhere by you? as of now it looks like we're driving my car, as the 28 hour bus ride was a bit too much for us.

hey y'all... i have stacks of flyers and need your help to get 'em out! if you can post some in your town, let me know how many and where to send 'em to, and the quality employees of the united states postal service will make the magically appear in your hands.

chimbly, i'll grab some from you at the race!

and i dunno if chombo is coming, either way, tell me and i'll come down. i haven't seen that guy in a while!

There might be another unaccompanied male from Boston if things work out well. Somebody let me crash on their floor! Somebody find me a speedy lady to ride with! Somebody let me split gas money and help with the umpteen hour drive!

You, transplant and Pixel are all welcome at my place! I have 3 couches one would fit you or transplant and the other might be big enough for pixel... and the other... well it's pretty small.

Ann is going to be out of town though so I need to find myself a lady... we should all get jazzed up for the pre-party.

Oh and one of you could sleep in my bed with me if you really wanted.:eek:

there is no couch on this earth that transplant can fit on...that guy is a monster!

i've got floorspace too, though our extra bed is already spoken for.
i also have a camp-able yard if folks want.

jason- i won't be there (still stuck in Ohio) but you can either download and print from here (http://flickr.com/photos/chimblysweep/228416148/) or i can have someone bring 'em to the race.
