Rides and Races - attn philly members

You're funny! I didn't mean gears on a bike ( I don't have a road bike) I mean bike gear, as in shorts and shirt. Thanks for the advice anyway.
those dont work either

be where? pretzles? wha? im out of action til I get a new left crankarm.

ride one legged. its a fixie, you'll be alright.

I'll be there tonight. We'll see if I don't get dropped by everyone halfway through the long ride like I usually do. Supposed to be a balmy 43 tonight, oh boy.

we'll see about the long ride. i want to get some beers afterwards

I probably won't try to do the faster ride, but instead, I would get some beer. I don't feel like wearing my shorts tonight. Probably wear jeans and skip the long ride.

I will third the motion for beer.

so who's buying?

I'm going to be missing yet another Thursday due to Joan Jett and hopefully post show date business. I'll make it one of these weeks I swear.

oh lovely. That gmaps dealie is quite the handy tool.

thrashing thursday. get a left crank arm. most bike shops carry them.

yeah, im going to get a new arm in a little, but im going to that say anything/mewithoutyou show later. crap.

ride one legged. its a fixie, you'll be alright.

I think when I get a new one, im going to put it on kangaroo style.

Feeling a bit under the weather, so I'm up for just a short ride and then beer.

hi mom

yeah yeah both you and ricky

damn yooouuuuu I swear by the moons of Kundar** I WILL show one night. Though, knowing my luck yo wont be there that week and you would never believe me.






** Kundar is neither a real or fictional planet, nor does it have multiple moons, therefore my oath means nothing significant.

ill be at both rides next week.

Hey Ricky: Let's both show at the pretzel ride this week and see if we can send the whole congregation into simultaneous shock.

Yeah, I wasn't there either.. haha! I was playing a geeking computer game we just bought yesterday. I already feel my soul slipping away. I did go for a decent 10 mi ride on the path around 3-3:30 yesterday, so atleast I'm not a complete bum.

All I'm going to say is that you missed out on some delicious 23oz Yuenglings at Oscar's. It was fun, I'd be into making bikes & beer a regular event (not to diss the long ride or anything of course -- maybe a different night?).

Just substituting the Yuenglings part...

Hell yeah, I would be in next week.

next thursday we are doing the long ride.

...with fondue?
...hot chocolate?
...bug juice?
...punch and pie?
...smileys? *smiley*

Any of the above would work, actually, though other beer would be preferable. I just don't like Yuengling.

Bikes & Beer are speaking my language. What are the details for this glorious event?

The homeless guy (I forget his name) that busses tables for tips at Oscars is awesome.

Might I suggest some Friday night action? Come on, you can't all be too cool like Max who's biggest dilemma is which parties to go to on Friday night. I'm a 9 to 5 guy, and Friday is my night to go whoop it up. Starting next week we could meet somewhere (Love?) and bike some new and interesting route with the goal of ending up at _________ (insert your fav bike-friendly bar here) I'll put up the first suggestion. As P_a_P likes good beer, lets make it a place that has Duvel, Delerium and ChChChChChimmyChimay: Grace Tavern 23rd and South.

I would like to second this. Chimay sounds awesome to me right now, in fact. Must not start drinking at 4.

I had Duvel last night. Pronounced the "accepted" way, Doo-vul. Mmmmmm, elitism.

i could do that. then go party duhhh

be down at S 19 all day. Whats up ? use IM

Red Riding Hood and I decided to try out Grace Tavern last night. That place is pretty awesome. I'd definitely go again. So much La Chouffe and delicious fries... Yum.

can we go to a place that serves mad dog or something along those lines?

peter, I didnt go down to dc today, get ahold of me later if youd like to take a ride or somethin. ill PM you my number.

i like your style

I don't know how I never realized until the other day that they serve potcheen at McGlinchey's. It's only advertised in big letters on the wall. I think a trip to initiate the uninitiated is in order. Mmmmmmm....potcheen.

I would be cool with an earlier friday ride + beer to get the night started

Here here. Rush hour traffic is to be considered. Where would the ideal Friday night ride take place? Head out to the Memorial Hall area to relive the glory of the NACCC? (not my glory, mind you) Take on the crazy whizzers of Kelly/West River Drive? Some cool places in West Philly that I know nothing about?

How about a BYOB ride? They're to hottest thing in new restaurants, why not start a bring-on-bike movement?

Aye aye, captain. Who among the Philadelphia BFers is so motivated as Max? NO ONE, I tell you.

its a nice 10 mile route. its not that hard and who said it was fast? god. plus luke, you are a speed demon, you gotta burn calories at some point right?

well its like this i was just trying to push things forward here anyway

that looks like a fun route. ill be there for sure.

I'm in. Fandango

I'm in. Fandango
YAY

I think I'm in, as long as it's pretty relaxed. Being a girl I hate to go out to a bar and be sweaty.. :D

Er wait.. I can't :( I have to have dinner with my parents, I forgot about my birfday.

Insult to injury: Not only having to miss the ride, but having to miss it to work good charlotte. Pity me.

tony, maybe you shouldnt give excuses like that. when they are that lame, sometimes its best to keep your mouth shut
