Took a ride to the Dorchester/Milton line (on the Naponset River) on my lunch break to check out an apartment there. Lovely freaking day for a ride.

Anyone gonna be around tonight? Just wanna know if I'm going to be missing anything, because my stupid clip adapters broke again (crank brothers shipped out another new and unbreakable 3 hole improved set now to me). If we can make the schlitz blitz later in the evening on saturday i should be able to make it, otherwise I have to hang around and do a company party.

I'm rocking the MTB. Fun bike to ride down stairs with, but it'd be hard to keep up with a crowd in traffic.

Is there a Schlitz Blitz going on this weekend. If so, anyone got a spare bike, I still need to ship mine up here.

Also, anyone going to the lightning bolt show tomorrow?

ok here's the deal.

no schlitz blitz tonight....

finals are plaguing everyone in school, including me.

SO next saturday will be the Schlitz Blitz Redux: Winter Warmer Edition.
I'm expecting a ton of you, we'll make 4 huge teams and make it last for a few hours.

i'll make more spokecards.

this way we have more time to spread the word.

and we should decide on if you guys would rather pick up a sixer of schlitz or pbr and pay $1 to enter or pay $5 and i'll by all the beer.

Oh crap! Too bad you're in Chicago this weekend or I'd say we should ride. I sense some Team Gigantic distance rides coming soon to a Route 1 near you....

remeber this saturday....

schlitz blitz
7pm
Almy St.
bring a six pack of schlitz, pbr, or narragansette and $1
OR
bring $5

all beer that is brough will be used for the blitz, so if you want to drink before/after bring some extra for yourself.

racers will be broken up into teams, you do not get to choose your teammates.

be prepared to drink alot.

can't make it saturday but i've sent word to everyone on the ladies list. hopefully you'll get a few to show up. i'll be down in providence this weekend for cyclocross nationals. anyone else going to that? it should be an awesome time. let me know if you want info or anything.

oh also. i'm thinking about organizing a chicago-inspired sadie hawkins race for sometime in februray. d'you think people here (i guess you guys) would be interested in racing in something like that?

hell yea. but the set up is going to be a little different.

matched sprints first
skid comp second
track stand third
team beer blitz fourth
and then the foot down finale


will be a great time

those of you who have not yet experience this....you're missing out, words can even explain the beer blitz
