new question about the bike... what gear ratio would be good... its a trial frame but i want it to be fixed... what gear ratio should i do so that stopping doesnt send me over the handlebars and so that it isnt too hard.

it's different for everybody. if you've got a road bike, just pick a gear and try riding around in it all day. of course, that only works if your wheels are the same size on both bikes, but it should get you pretty close. cogs are cheap, no big deal if you guess wrong.

Btw - I'm also going up for the 5 Boro Friday ... gonna miss the Critical Mass and the game. However, I'll be paying for it by riding the tour with with my family (slow all weekend
). At least I got my miles and speed in this weekend thanks in part to the pirate pelaton which came to the PPTC ride yesterday.

When you try to fit everything into one weekend, damn it is a lot of fun.
Pirate Pelaton at PTTC was a blast!
Hide and Seek was fun
Cookout at J5 was a chill way to round out the day
This week
Crit Mass Fri,
Eating all the yummy stuff I miss about NY on Sat
5 Buro Sunday
Add this to it!
Thursday! Hains laps followed by :
"a bridge too Pho"
Start with "hero" laps with the "red and white train", you NEED to be geared and roadied if you even want to think about tagging on the pelaton.
Then form up and ride the bridges to rosslyn and get to the noodle shop before they close the doors on us. Believe me, it is worth it!
Form up at club house and leave promptly at 7PM.

But when I was riding the 3rensho 49x14, i could ride in the pack, no problems.
