i rode home in it a little while ago, it was pretty sweet.

rode to red bones in davis sq... sweeeet ride

been ****ing around a bit outside, going out to skid in the alley and maybe at the christian science center nearby in a little bit.

in the IRC chat there was some discussion of the fact that the Thursday night ride has dwindled.. would it make for a better weekly ride to change the day/time? (I say this only as a point of discussion, just try'n to test to waters)

someone has reminded me that critical mass is this friday.

also, who here is thinking of going to monster track? the ladies might take an nyc field trip...

i'm up for changing the "thursday night ride" to fit other people's schedule.

i thought CM was the last thursday of every month? hopefully i'll make it to CM because the past 4 ones my bike has been in a different state than me. also, i'm probably going to do my first monstertrack this year and will be making the trip down to nyc.

I believe it's actually the last friday of the month, which is this friday.

hmm, i guess that just adds to the reasons why i've managed to miss most critical masses.

i want to see a huuuuuge boston turn out at monster track! i'm still planning on coming up for the feb 10th race, so if you still need a place to stay in new york by then, come find me. i'll have a black iro w/ velocities and a blue puma bag.

I'm going to be at monstertrack. Unfortunately, I won't be able to warm up with the Allston/Brighton Scramble the week before... being the organizer and all. but the rest of you...

what scramble?....


and as far as NY goes it sounds awesome but right now I don't think I can... useless maybe there is someone I can bum a real cheap ride with...


no one else has an opinion about the weekly ride or a suggestion for a better day?

If I'm correct, critical mass starts are copley square directly across from the CVS on Boylston. I think six is the universal time, but some cities start at different times.

There's a guy named Chris who I've met at a couple races who does custom paint jobs. He used to work at IF. Anybody have his phone number/email? Got a friend who wants to have an old Bianchi painted. PM me or write it in pig latin or something here. Thank you much.

I would make more Thursdays or other weekday rides if they were earlier. Tuesday and Thursday? 8PM?

dear boston messengers.

random question...

I have a photography project due next week for school, where I need to take a picture of a subject in his or her own enviorment. so obviously i wanted to do something bike related.

I need someone who would be available this week (Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon, or Saturday) for a few hours (1-2) to just let me take pictures of them in different areas of the city; riding, standing, etc.

I'll buy you lunch from Al's.


hit me up

thursday night is just a bad time for me, it's the end of a 13-15 hour day, and I start the next day at 9 this semester, so it's pretty bad for now. though to be honest, given the amount of things I have going on right now, the only thing I'll be showing up for is the occasional blitz and race anyway. when I had fridays off, the thursday night rides were perfect though.

The Allston/Brighton Scramble of course! Feb 10th! Starting at the public garden between comm. ave and beacon. Register 1:30. Race 2:00. $5.

Friday Night: Clear and blustery, with a low around 9.

should make the cm fun...
but here's hoping for a good turnout anyway..
I'm going to write a story on it for one of our local alt-weekly papers, if there is anyone who has been to a bunch of them, maybe I can interview you..any takers?-let me know...

i'm for that. still thursday night ride tomorrow? if so, still at 10PM or should it be earlier?

finally i'll be able to make the thursday night ride.

chris isn't doing bikes any more to the best of my knowledge, just doing motorcycles. i don't want to give out his number if he isn't, so maybe ask jacob...?

i can't give out numbers, but if you look around downtown, he'll probably be in line at a smoothie or pastry store with a big grin on his face.

i don't think he does bike repaints anymore, but who am i to say?

anyone want to ride tonight?

which paper?

maybe. i'm trying to get new cranks/chainring on but it's not ****ing working!

blitz this weekend?

(preferably sat.)
