Rides and Races - Gainesville- January

Looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow. I hope everybody's trip goes smothly and all arrivals are on time and without parking troubles.

If anybody is looking for a contact so they can find out where to go/need help with something, PM me and I'll give you my number.

I just picked my bike up from the shop. I had the front wheel trued, a clock radio, jet packs, and a whammy bar installed.

Would it be weird to say "I love you" before we've even met?

...hold me.

I'm out!!!! This is getting too gay even for typical Robb standards.

After the race check out Barnacles play if you enjoy bluegrass/folk music and other kids who enjoy fixed gears. Theyre from Jax, but reside in Gainesville for college. You're sure to find a good party and friends there.

if i can't make it because of work, somebody please honor me by replicating my win in Jax by getting most drunk and then racing in the wet and cold Gator Bowl traffic infested downtown streets.

Barnacles are F'ing awesome. Tell them to play St. Pete. Please?

i can't believe i lost your tail in that race going back over that ******** bridge; i kept leeching off you for the map directions. i will try to honor your request by drinking enough to satiate my impending hangover

That was a lot of fun. Hope to do it again soon.

I had a lot of fun, too. I really really should get some grips.

Thanks Gainesville and props to Eric for organizing it and Mike for spreading the word to us. Had fun and hope to see you all down this way soon.

Anybody got any pictures? From before and after the race, I mean - I've got the during pictures already (I think). Thanks everybody for coming out and helping make it a pretty great race.

$20 bucks says those cops went home after their shift, pulled out their mountain bikes, and then met up for a game of foot down themselves.

Robb and I had a great time up there, but we got back late to the afterparty from dinner...sorry. Here are the pics from my camera...thanks to Sara for taking them.

Pre-Race and Robb decided to come out...

Looking for a safe place at the CLOSED library? Nope, we were looking for Jesus (aka Tre).

i think we all need to give it up for the team with the most obnoxious, drunk, Bavarian muscles

thanks, Cutters

Really fun time. Did that dude ever organize a second game of footdown?

Yay Gainesville! Thanks for all the fun!

yeah, the only game of footdown that guy played was with his hangover sunday morning.

[edit= he lost.]

There is a link to my photos on the tallycat.org site. I happened to snap a couple of said drunk.

I am ridiculously happy to see that at least some of the Tallahassee group pictures came out. I'm sorry about that hassle. If only you all knew how happy I was I didn't drop a camera... All's well that ends well.

Here are some blurry foot down pictures:

Mailer: Is that you in the second picture? What kind of bike is that?

if you're talking about the all white bike it's my mercier.

it looks weird combined with my awkward leaning-forward-slightly pose.

off subject.. but mike arena, how can I learn more about the art farm?

...dye your hair blue, get a nose ring, and move to San Francisco.

You just did! I really have no idea actually. I would suggest e-mailing Eric at balif2002@yahoo.com if you're interested. What I do know is that they used to have a teepee in the backyard that is now replaced by a huge trampoline, and there used to be cow skulls hanging all over the place that creeped me out (I was only ever there at night). It seems like a great place to live and I haven't really met too many people there that weren't pretty decent folk.

P.S. Guy from Orlando with the slightly embarassing screenname, PM me, as I would like copies of some of your pictures. Thanks.

I have some pretty sweet calluses now.

God I love those bikes.

I want one so bad.

Love the paint job also. Did you do it, or have someone powdercoat it?

I spray painted it in my parents' garage over christmas break because I needed an immediate change. I'd rather have it powdercoated a matte or satin white.

THANKS GAINESVILLE!!!! THE RACE WAS AWESOME!!!! YOU ALL ARE GREAT!!!!!
SEE YOU SOON!!!
