Dude, where in the "World" do you live? Are you in Savannah? If so, we need to meet up and ride. I'm in Mac-Town (Macon). Also, if your in Georgia, you should come up to ATL for the "No Brakes" Thrash and Mash ride through downtown ATL. We are all going to Midtown Tavern for Atlanta's Mash Premier. Oh well, shoot me a PM sometime and maybe we can meet up down in the Low Country for a ride to Paula Dean's restaurant :)

deathhare

haha...Paula Dean :)
PM sent.

i used to go to college in savannah... wasn't digging it too much. the late night bike rides were great though, it was a ghost town...

paula deans "hey ya'll" haunts my dreams
my ex girl friend was watching her show when i was in the hospital

I would head to Alabama to pick you up but man, I'm got a lot of errands to run when I get to ATL, I don't think I would have the time to swing over that way. Check out Greyhound. Rates are cheap. Hope you can make it. I'll be on the red and gray Raleigh Rush Hour. I don't know if I am going to actually race. My knee has been killing me pretty bad lately.

c0urt

i dont know if i can race yet, i was on my bike for the first time today since thursday and I am still a little weak.

dont know if you are ever in foo. i had another siezure and blew my memory out again.

anyway it is 60 bucks roundtrip on grey hound which aint bad

jdeane4

Yeah man, $60 is worth it. The show will be good. And the scene is cool. I was up at a meet a week ago, and it was great. The guys from "No Brakes" are super cool and actually aren't the kind of folks who will get you into trouble. They are fairly tame :) Seriously though, the more the better. You don't have to race to ride. I am only riding. I ain't in no shape to race right now. My knee is pretty sore lately.

Deathhare can you explain this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k98bRUOb4g) to me

deathhare

WTF is that?!

c0urt

so on a random ass update. I was talking to my uncle at dinner last night.
after he told me about getting hit in the neck with a lawn dart as a child. I will be moving to atlanta with him in three weeks to work at the liquor store.

Beaufort here, but we shouldn't hijack Savannah's thread. I can smell Savannah on some mornings.

What are you doing in Savannah DH? Are you at SCAD?
I looked at their industrial design program once--
may yet again depending how much I do or don't get sick
of consulting/lawyering.

br995

DH is at SCAD for photo.

And being a wussy boy.

deathhare

Nah, i just wanted to be near br995s mom. :)

I live in stockbridge, 20 min south of atlanta. And it sucks. I don't see anybody out on the roads fixed or not. Drivers hate me. And commuting on suburban roads is like suicide. It would be nice to have somebody to ride with. Too bad savannah is like four hours away.

ThunderChunky

scad is bull**** for fine art. i felt uninspired and unmotivated for the year i attended. i'm not really familiar with anything else... they have a nice library though.

deathhare

Its the general consensus.
Depends on the dept though.
Some are lame.

zelah

how is savannah post-portland

I've ridden down there before. not fun. When I lived downtown Atl I would ride to my dad's house in Griffin for holidays. I found a good route that was only 50 miles or so. The bad part was crossing in front of South Lake Mall the day after Thanksgiving. I loved how the truck drivers would give me plenty of space when the cab passed but almost take me out with the end of the trailer.

Come down to Macon. We have 6 riders here now (That we know of). We're getting a close little group of riders. We're only 45 minute drive.

jdeane4

So are we still on for 2nd weekend in Jan. My wife and I are going to drive down to Savannah. I'll let her go shop while we ride. Anybody got any ideas of where you want to meet at?

mannequinforce
