I'm at the University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut. Is there anyone else out there in the Hartford area riding fixed gear?

Hit me up!

there's a crew from hartford that usually shows up to connecticut races. i know there are hartford alleycats. new haven ones, too. new haven scene is really nice, but i've never raced in hartford. and there are riders in middletown; matt who runs ghostshipclothing(.com) works at pedal power in middletown and is a damn nice dude. there's are myspace networks for the new haven scene and probably the hartford scene as well.

weve got a good amount of messengers around, so maybe it was one of them.
