yeah, I'll likely be there for CM if it's not pouring down rain. And beers afterwards = definitely.
Again, if anyone wants my number to meet up, just PM me.

I'll be there. The shop "closes" at 7pm, but I'll make sure to be out the door by then. I've got Somna and T.J.'s cell #s, so I'll hit up a pay phone and track you guys down once I'm close. And **** rain. The temperature will be warm so let's go out and have some fun. Worst case scenario: we all suffer through getting our asses soaked, then we go back to my place and throw our **** in the dryer for a half hour.
Drinking shall then ensue. Oh yes, it shall.

I'm in for CM, but I may be late getting down there, probably more like 6:30. Is the route always the same? If it's like last time, it won't be hard to catch up-5 km/hr is blistering fast for these things.
Also, if anyone feels like it, I'm probably going to ride the donut ride on Sunday, if the weather is good. I want to get some miles on my road bike, I am out of shape.

yes, he did.
speaking of bags, has anyone here ever used any backpack-style mess bags? I'd like to give one a try, but I've never seen anything but the Ortleib ones in any stores here. I know Chrome/Reload make them as well, but no stores carry much of their stuff. I've only ever seen two Chrome bags hanging in Bikes On Wheels once. They're pretty expensive, so I don't really want to order one without checking them out in person first.

If you can afford them I've never seen anything that tops the PAC bags as work bags. The X-strap and the ridiculously over-the-top construction makes them just about the best investment you can make. The problem is that they are really expensive (fair when you look at the workmanship and materials) and it can take awhile to get your hands on one when your order them.
Curbside did have the Chrome backpack when I was in there last but they have been shifting around stock so quickly that who knows what will be in there next time.
I'm personally saving for a beatiful PAC deluxe with X-strap, hidden pocket, lock strap and a custom front panel <drools> but first I need my frame to finish being airbrushed (can't hurrt art though) and built up so I can enjoy spinning when its THIS NICE OUTSIDE.

yeah, my bag is just my ever day bag (I'm a nerd by trade). I currently have a large Timbuk2 bag, but it's been annoying me. Nothing seems to sit right in it, and stuff is always jabbing me in the back. Plus I find the parts where the strap attaches are somewhat stabby as well. Some extra pockets would be nice also. I'm not opposed to just finding a different 1-shoulder affair, but it just seems like a backpack would help with some of those things also (especially one with a lightly padded back).
re: CM: Does anyone want to meet up before? I get off at 5:00 and I work at Bay & Davenport. I'm thinking about just going someplace for a coffee to kill time.
