morgan, check your pm's... i sent you my buddy andrew's number - he saw the dude who hit you and will be more than happy to help in any way he can.

glad you're ok and getting your bike on the road again soon!

oh, and sean, i second morgan's suggestion for broadway.

so... where's the party at tonight?

apartment next to the squeeling pig.

Team Gigantic Amateur Greco-Roman Wrestling Team coming to a kitchen floor near you!

eff this wind.

I'm sorry I wasn't a better hostess last night, everybody. You know...passed out and all.

No ****!! I had to pass over both the Mass ave bridge and the MGH/Kenmore bridge today.. that **** was intense!! I think and one point I was pushed a good 3-4feet sideways... and I don't have deep-vs or anything like that..

yo Morgie, ETA on the spokecards? drop me a line if need be.

Done, just e-mailed you and rob both...

would have a been a GREAT day for anyone who has disc wheels.

uh, yeah! details please! i still want to ride to providence in general.

are there pictures from saturday? i know many many were taken by pixel and others.

how does sunday morning/afternoon the 19th work for the boston-providence race?

rt 1 should be fairly clear on this day, the pats also be out of town.

and on that day:

513 years ago Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico
and
143 years ago US President Abraham Lincoln, delivers the famous 'Gettysburg' address

November 19th 2006 WILL be a historic event

if this date works for you, i'll get this in the works

Works for me. So does the 18th.

19th is cool.

Was there a particular post-race event in mind? If the race started in the morning, after some beer (race gas), eating and trash talk, people could race/ride/hope-to-make-it-alive back to boston that afternoon.

Has anyone ridden rt 1 all the way there? Is it reasonable on a bike?

45 miles fixed? oh I'm so ****ed but can't say no to a challenge.

and I didn't take any pictures at the party, so I'm waiting like everyone else.

I'll be using gears most likely, and I can't say I'll be moving at a "race" pace, but I'm in... anyone know of a bike friendly place to stop along the way?

wait a min... are you implying your gonna ride there and back? cus that would be some heroic **** on a fixie...

I may be down for a RI ride... maybe...

and I'd be going survive pace more so than race pace.

hey Team G - do we need bags for the race tomorrow? do we
have to pick up stuff and carry it somewhere else? i'm working out the
final details of my costume and trying to figure out if i can get away
with no bag.

hugs,
ES

Yes, my costume will be greatly compromised if I have to carry anything bigger than a piece of candy. Any bullsh*t boxes or tubes?

no carryin' isht required... but don't think you'll be gettin' off easy

I had to drive down it, almost half way to providence for a gig i had and the whole way is pretty fair. no bike lane or anything, but there are "bike signs" at most intersections and lots of breakdown lanes.

it's not going to be easy, but just to accomplish this would be sick.
an early morning start would be nice since it may take 4-5 hours and the race will end at a bar in providence, not deffinate on which but their is one called Alley Cat or some where on Thayre St.

Maybe some Providence kids could get an after-race race or small ride or pub-crawl through providence?

as for RIDING BACK?!

after riding 50 miles... the only thing on my mind will be beer.

i'm not sure on greyhound's/peter pan's policies on bikes, but i cant imagine having a few bikes in the undercaridge would be a big deal. I'll call and find out this week.

but a bus from providence to boston is only 8 bux

the roads seem pretty flat, with maybe a few steep inclines. riding fixed is going to be rough but fun.

and there will have to be a hell of an after party

Commuter rail also runs on weekends now. Eva Stabs can give more info on that.

My girlfriend lives in Providence. Maybe this would give me an opportunity to actually visit her.

Good luck on the race tonight, fellows, an 11th Hour Infection has deep-sixed my Halloween Hopes...
