yah it was ridiculous... these people were really lame.

i hope we can get 50 or 60 at some point, that would be insane. or are you not for realzzzzzzzz

No, for real. But a lot were spectators.

i'm for reals about ready to cut myself. 48 hour take home exams are not sexy.

48 hour exams?!? I do not envy you.
I guess that was the one bonus of my studio-based education: no test.

yeah, i like having work confined to 8 hours of my day. then again you get the summer off, no?

Two weeks in a row of rain. Sucks. I already got drenched today. Anyway, I'll be there tonight.

Edit: Oh yeah, I'll be traveling to and from Puerto Rico on the next two Tuesdays, so you all should keep this ride up without me.

i want to die

yah, finals suck... i feel like i've been writing forever and ever

christ

and the party doesn't stop

rutt, you're hardcore. even if i didn't have all this work to do, i don't think i'd want to ride in the rain. i suppose its all about the right gear though...

I don't think I qualify for hardcore. Maybe if I went out tonight with the shants and cotton fleece that I was wearing when I got drenched earlier today. Instead I'll be sporting the full waterproof-garbage-bag look: Burley rain jacket, Craft rain pants, and goretex socks.

Good luck to you academic types.

I'll be out-also sporting the encased-in-plastic look.
I vote that tonight's ride have a drip-dry beverage consumption interlude in the middle.

Hmm...we haven't been to the Squealing Pig in awhile....

So, when are the rides around the MIT track?

with this weather? never!

Serious cornering + puddles + being blinded by the spray of the person in front of you = no fun.

i wish it would STOP ****ING RAINING

that is all

I called in sick today. I couldn't bear to work in the rain for the 7th day in a row.

I just got the ok from my doctors to get on my bike!!!!

Is anyone going on the ride tonight?

holy ****! nice man, good work healin up

i'd love to but we'll see how far i get on this last final this evening. hopefully it won't be to terribly wet

i might be down for a ride this weekend when i'm all done, depending on if i go to nyc

I have my first machining class tonight, so if it gets out early I should be able to make it.
Weather-wise it looks like there shouldn't be any problems.

that's awesome good news henry. i was just about to ask you when you're getting better...

as far as the ride i'm out until next week.

flying home tonight and then filing a claim with TSA for f***ing my bike up.

I will ride my bicycle tonight.

10:00pm at the pit, right?


ps. It's blue skies and sunny right now.

if anyone has a chain tool that i can drop by and use, please let me know. i busted up the masterlink on my izumi v and i just need to pop a few links on and rejoin it. i just so happened to break my chain tool a few weeks ago.

I gots a chain tool, its kinda small, and no guarantees if it works on 1/8", if you have 1/8" chain.

You could always stop by at broadway bike and borrow/rent theirs. It's free if it's under 5 min, or its $.75/5mins thereafter.

Let me know and I can meet you somewheres.

thanks man - actually i killed my small chain tool trying to break the izumi v. just found out the bike shop near my work has the park ct-7 so i'm going to go pick that up.
