Ayup. Guess outside of the Dolphin/around 8ish was the correct answer. My new saddle is the bestest. My hangover is not.

Come on tough guy. You're 1 step away from being the guy who yells "get a car, ***!" at us when we're gathering at love park for Thrashin'. We all need to remember: two wheels good, four wheels bad. Bike, scooter, motorcycle, Segway (just kiddin' about that last one).

For alumnus too? I'll come roll with you college folk. What's the club details? Is that tubby dude the leader? Did you stage a coup and dethrone him?

The party was a damn hoot, good times all around.

So I'm sorry but I'm part of the anti-max knee crowd (for my own reasons and why I don't post that much) but when there is an actual race i would be willing to put up money $50 (just myself) to see 1) who can go down the art museum mt. skidmore (the only walkway without steps and I'm not talking about the long one in the back, the new one that was just opened) and 2) who can do it the fastest. Do it no brakes and I might bump it up to $100. Like any skid, disqualified if you stop skidding and peddle (if even for the one turn). You all should go by the art museum and see what I'm talking about and see if you would want to get in

Please Hammer, don't hurt him. Seriously BP, not a very cool post. My mama always said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

That being said, I'm part of the anti-anti-Max Knee crowd (if there is one).

Big bear? Wha? I think the lines of communication are breaking down here in the interwebs. What started out as an effort to squash the Max Knee hate has gotten all muddied. What the h-e-double-hockey-sticks are you up to these days, anyway? I got the word from Santana that Stella is done. Yay! Now is time for indiscrete bike parts spending spree (said in Borat voice). The rebuild will probably take a long time, but meh, when it's done I'll have a pimpy ride.

Will do. Many may question why you followed the statement "you are a big bear" with "i'd like to see your frame sometime" but I know what you mean. Pictures of the frame will be up soon, I'll probably pick it up Thursday.

i love dc because we do a lot as a group. i love my pirates. we have picnics and stuff too, and i am setting up a holiday potluck on what is possibly one of my last weekends. we also have wrenching parties and other events. if i move up there, which is pointing towards yes, would you guys be interested in doing events such as i have listed?

I'm down for the group events (especially riding, wrenching and rum drinking). And the alleykitten sounds sweet, here or up in NYC, where ever.

shark!
11-15-06, 08:19 PM
pleaseeeeeeee. i think i speak for a lot of people when i say this lack of alleycats is depressing

ryand
11-16-06, 06:17 AM
i have a place to stay in new york, i'd have to ask how many people can crash there though. spud says it sounds like the new york one will be happening, but i'll be sure to let you guys know when i find out.

and also, since max and i both want to put on a race anyways, there will be a valentin's alleycat/kitten. one day, two routes. one for first timers/out of towners/people who just want a nice easy fun ride, and another for people who want to have a longer ride with more things to do, and probably quite a bit more difficult.

that is gonna be saturday, february 10.

Yesss. Me and the lady are ready for a cute, fuzzy, gentle alleykitten. May I request no slush on the roads and a temperature above 55 degrees? Didn't think so :(

ryand

Its Philly in February, you have a 50% chance of that wish being true.

Its either nice or ****e in that city, theres no ehhhh.

sorry luke.

yes alleycat and alleykitten on the same day

ryand
11-16-06, 10:03 AM
max, are we going to use the same start/finish for both races? I think definately same finish is a good idea at least. And then to the same bar(or house party if anybody wants to offer that up) afterwards for the announcement of winners and a nice celebration.

the kitten is promised to be fun, silly, short, and cute.

the cat will be a good race though.

edit: that first part probably could have been PMed. oh well.

sorry luke.



Meh, that's ok. I'll be there anyway. Yay races!

I second the YAY RACES. How many of you philly kids would be wanting to go to NY for New Years if thats where the race is?

shishi
11-16-06, 12:56 PM
for the kitten, for the dumbo race in NYC, they did two manifests, but that was for everyone, you could do that and have one race (short and long).

Same start and finish, just make them go seperate ways at the start.

ryand
11-16-06, 01:07 PM
we are doing two different manifests. we have been communicating via PM about checkpoints and how we want to run in. we're farther along than you guys probably think.
