Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

For those who came to my party on Saturday night....

A lot of people from this forum showed up, so I thought I'd post here.

So anyway, thanks everyone who made it out.

In addition to the countless beers, I drank pretty close to a full bottle of Patron, sooooo:
If I tried to fight you, I'm sorry, tequila makes me playful.
If I crashed your bike, I'm sorry, it also takes my coordination away.
If I poured you too many shots, not sorry, drink it (hi dennis).
and finally, I'm sorry that the kegs ran out before 1am.

Also, those pint glasses are yours to keep, if you didn't take one home come by and pick one (or four) up, I have 50 of the damn things at my house.

I'll post pictures later, I found my camera....

DAMMIT! I missed all that. crappers. Next time we ride, I'm brining a 40oz. (okay, maybe a 20oz. just to make it easier to carry.)

Glad you found your camera. I had a good time and the commemorative '20' pint glass is cool!

p.s. Teaching my wife to do '1 leg over the bars' skids has created a 1-up atmosphere in our house. I gotta learn 'em now too!

I love how talk of bicycles completely owned that party. Other things were discussed by other people, but not with our spirit!

Yes, I had at least two conversations of about an hour each one on wheelbuilding and one on front brakes.
Also, I think I spent about half the party on my bicycle and I was not the only one.

hey Judah,
great party! sorry that i had to be scraped off the ground and carried away and leave my bike all by itself (can't imagine what you may have done to it) with slightly off-center handlebars from a no handed (beer in one hand, cig in another) go-as-slow-as-i-can-race-against-my-self crash (edit - i did NOT break my souvenir glass during this crash!).

cheers!

Glad everyone had a good time, I hope I didn't do anything too bad. Everything after 10pm is a blur...
