I don't know Luke...needs to be better. This was a quick 1st attempt. Luke took his tire to the threads after this. It blew out later on as we were riding back to the house.

Yes! First viewer! I remember the time I thought I'd run tubulars and blew one out skidding down a parking garage. Sometimes I wish I was still that stupid.

I was just telling the story about how Luke out-skidded me today twice for some reason... I feel sorry for the people I talk to.

Luke...what are you doing holding on to the handlebars in that video? Wuss.

If you guys plan on riding in clearwater later on this week...I could probably meet at like 6 since I would be riding from st. pete after work. I have also skated that sidewalk by the park about 8 years ago.

House hunting on Friday? Meet at 5?

I think we are heading back there tomorrow. 6 is fine. That would be awesome dude.

And yea... on Friday i'm totally there. Meet at Northeast again? Or somewhere else?

It's offficial, I'm sick. Too much work to stay home, I'll see how I feel when I get home. To those that are coming out, I'll check the boards before I leave work. I'm sure I'll start to feel better once I get to work and get some fluorescent lighting on me. Ughhh.

Today: Still feel like ****, but oh well. I'm in for today at 6. I should be alright to ride to Coachman. I'll just sit in the grass and take pics the whole time.

Friday: I hope I feel better by tomorrow. I'm in for a ride in Clearwater Friday as well starting at 6.

Sat/Sun: Other then doing some alleycat planning I'm free. I'll ride St. Pete or wherever at whatever time.

03-22-07, 11:18 AM
**** yea so much riding!

Can't wait until today. Matt, if you get this, I can't bring those pedals. I forgot that they are on my conversion... which is somewhere in Tallahassee right now. I'm sorry dude. Are you coming out Corey? I can drive if anybody needs a ride home afterwards.

Robb... finally you come out of your cave. Where have you been? I'll call you tomorrow once i'm coming down there.

I'll be down for riding on Sunday also. I have work until 4 though, so whatever works out for everyone else.

FLAsh!

Wait, so you're meeting at NorthEast at 6? I gotta run to Orlando for the day but I might be back in time. Clearwater is pretty much not gonna happen though.

sinkFLsink
03-22-07, 03:11 PM
Corey is driving to Largo...we're riding from there to Coachman in Clearwater and meeting Luke there. Matt is apparently riding in his snake skin shoes from St. Pete to Coachman to meet us all. Clearwater IS going to happen.

THAT JUST HAPPENED!

I know man, I was just messing with you. When are you going to make it out one day/night? All I know is your avatar and those cyclo pics.

I know, it sucks. I work Sun-Thurs nights, so I'm never around until after midnight at the earliest. That's why I was excited about the possibility of Friday night in St. Pete. Right now is also the middle of road racing season, so most weekends I'm off getting my a** kicked. This Sat/Sun it's in Orlando, though I might skip Sunday if I'm not feeling up for it, so I'll check back in here.

If you ever see me on the road I'm usually wearing the hat that's in the avatar. That's why I put it on there.

Downtown Clearwater tonight was fun. We got a late start so we lost daylight pretty quick. I'll upload some picks in a few. I'm still sick so bare with me. Thanks to Luke, Corey, Matt and his lady for coming out. Good times had by all.

Here's a little video of Corey doing what he does best...The Tricksta!

I'm out for tonight. I should have stayed home yesterday, but a few of you Burgs showed the love for Clearwater so I had to be there. I need some rest and will be staying in tonight. Have fun guys. FYI - The Public Enemy show is tonight at Jannus.

If I feel better on Saturday, I plan on being in St. Pete by noon to tie up some loose ends for the race and get some riding in. If anyone's interested, let me know.

03-23-07, 01:27 PM

No crashing the group ride...I went over there on my lunch break and they said they used to do "fixie friday" rides but it kind of died out. I told the one kid there who sometimes rides a fixed that he could join us though.

DoshKel

We can get our groove on alone then.
