it is right now

[Klink]

It's been 70-75 since September. This is just a nice break. Besides, it'll all melt and be dry and sunny within a day. It's like you can have your cake, and eat it too!

[sniks]

sum sik scids if this snow keeps up

[Klink]

G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When do the actual events begin? I don't get out til about 6, so I'm hoping if I'm running a bit tardy I might still make it for all the fun.

Man. And I'm bored at work again.

Oh. I did make some slick spoke cards though if you care to rock one.

want to get the show on the road asap but I will wait for you. haul ass .

[Klink]

Wicky-wicky. I'm driving myself and a buddy down. I should be there by 6:30, but depending on what **** goes down at work (if any) and how quick I can get myself collected I could be a few minutes behind on time. Doubt it, but giving a preemptive heads up.

[sniks]

looks like it will be dry, cold, but dry.

[nonnumericdave]

Where the hell have you been the past few weeks?

So, I was walking to SUB for a snack on Tuesday afternoon, and I caught a glimpse of all the bikes whizzing by. I was this close to making a mad dash back to the office and grabbing the ride, but thinking of all that short-week induced guilt would've been a nightmare.

Yeah, In retrospect? Should've left work early. And make an effort to keep my ear closer to the ground for these rides. I showed up a few Wednesdays ago, and I think only Jeremy and Nate were hanging around the tower. This week? Nada.

I think I'll be at the alleycat tonight. Secret weapon? The Thai I had for lunch. Or, a recipe for disaster.

[dirtylaundry]

dammit. I missed it. oh well. next time huh

[snafs]

That was a ton of fun. Thanks a lot man for setting it up.

Next time I'll learn how to read maps, use clues and not get f***** crazy lost...

how is this thread not in regional or rides and races
?
mind you own thread.
would you rather have us ask which wheel set or which budget bike or maybe we could start another thread complaining about how someone set up there bike.
it started trying to get riders together and just continues..

can't see how its harming anything

besides there is only like 6 of on this site

[roderage]

the regional threads are the dead zone

[Klink]

Oh, and yours truly in fourth! Hells yizeah!

So you beat me out! Me and a fellow named Chris got the Bridge and Barelas stop first. Both of us missed G's comment on the picture clue. We rolled around in some scandalous alleyways for about 10 minutes. You know, the kind with all sorts big angry fenced in dogs and sketchy old cats saying "Que paso?"

Maybe that's why it's called an alleycat. But yeah G. Hell of a fine race you put on there sonny, hell of a fine race.

[doofo]

fwiw i would prefer that all regional threads come back here and mix in with the rest

good for the forum me thinks

just curious how this one escaped the law of the land

[dirtylaundry]

burque is above the law of the land. ese.

I can honestly say I haven't had as much fun as the day my mother took off my training wheels.





Which was last week, apparently.

[ElSetho]

Dude me too. yeah those shirts look sick.

I've seen one of the cassette tape TT pads in person and it's a nice little piece. So yeah, if anyone want proof that he makes quality ****, then, uh, maybe you can take my word for it?

Your word?
Never
but i do believe its high quality.

haha

[sniks]

he should donate as prizes for sunday huh?

[Klink]

It would do wonders for bringing attention toward his work. I mean if I were trying to bring in some money doing something I enjoy, I would directly approach the market that would be most interested in what I was making.

And that zia TT pad really does look badass.

Your word?
Never

Fine. Then trust my text.

[woodenwheels]

there will be a package of finely crafted items from woodenshoespress up for grabs in the alleycat. for sure.

where exactly is smith plaza?

[snafs]

where exactly is smith plaza?

It's the brick plaza by the SUB, bell tower and Zimmerman. I think thats it at least. correct me if I'm wrong

[S.Lemon]

Yes, that's correct. It's also the spot many people go to, to practice their classy skids.

[slomotion]

I'm from Albuquerque but I go to school in California. Wish I could bring my bike back home for when I fly back for break and check out the fixie scene myself!

You could do it, it would simply take extra effort. Also, people have tons of clever ways for getting around paying the extra charge for checking a bike. I'm sure if you ran a search you could find some or just ask.
