thats shiv, sorry to hear that spud. hope it all works out alright.

That's some bullsh*t

okay... i'm gonna bug you guys again. i need two floor spaces/couches, whatever for fri and sat night for the tour de lemond. we're the only boston team and it's a loooong drive, so coming in on saturday isn't really an option. any help is appreciated!

duece? baldylocks? photons? rpc? wolverine? happy@$$? if worse comes to worse, there are a couple of hostels for cheap.

I got family in town this weekend or I'd let somebody stay here. Sorry I can't help.

Sorry I don't have space for visitors; roommate has people coming this weekend. If anything changes, I'll let you know.

i'm in brooklyn this weekend, sorry guys. best of luck in the race.

I can vouch for chris being awesome. he was a friendly host to cardstock ben for the zelda race last weekend...

i have philly kids comin in town, full apartment. sorry.

sorry for two posts in a row but:

who wants to meet up on tuesday/wednesday/or thursday and go riding/pillaging.

i need something going on after work in the middle of the week to maintain sanity.

i get off work at 6, so 7 is usually best for me so i can run home quick.

also, there are no grills at haines, so we need one of the following things:
1) a 50 gal drum, cinderblocks, charcoal, lighter fluid, something to hold food off the charcoal.
2) a charcoal grill.
3) a gas grill.

anybody want to volunteer one of these items?
also, we need somebody to transport said item to haines.


...volunteers...?
(food is really important to me, ha)

Spud, I wasn't speaking about your case. More an observation from dealing with a lot of bike accidents and police. If you get a ticket you are SOL. Being unconcious doesn't protect you either.

PM sent.

ryand...
here in chicago, some guys attached a trailer to a brakeless fixed steamroller and rode a grill, charcoal, sausages, peppers, and buns for 30 miles up to the track a few weeks ago. oh, and beer too. Did i mention the beer?

be creative! there's always a way to get it there by bike. i know chain reaction has a trailer...

yeah... but i dont have a grill...

However, since DC has hills lets use bike with brakes. Trailers are great especially with heavy loads up to 300 lbs. And it is kinda ****ed up when you are carrying such weighty loads. The fixed gears themselves become a liability. Makes you realize why the freewheel is an improvement.

Maybe someone would like to invite Jimmy, Carlos, Max and Omar from Chain reaction and they can bring the trailer. They are open now Thur and Fri. 11-6, Saturday 11-5.

However...

Why don't we have more trailers?

Joel?

In other news.

We have room in a very bike friendly house. Does anyone know anyone?
If you came to Saturdays blow out you know its glory.

Details?

Check yersterday's craigslist under "gorgeous brownstone mansion"

Joel, I have some trailer ideas. I know Jimmy can set us up with frames.

Hey Red, do you have any 52-54cm Three speed frames you're selling? Um, if you do, PM me cause I'm in the market for a new toy.

ryand, I do not but chain reaction does. Call Jimmy or Max, 265-0179. And ask what they have and when thye can get it out to sell.

whhat do you have in mind?

I'm down. W or Th is best for me. Maybe we can make it a reg'lar thing.

Riding a bike regularly should be required for everybody that enjoys their life.
Ha. No seriously, we should do this weekly, or at least bi-weekly...

I'm also down for tonight if you guys want to meet up after work. I get off at 6 so 7 or a little before would be good for me.

Re: tickets in the district. I was hit by a moving co's truck at Calvert and Connecticut about a year back and I was issued a ticket for "Failure to maintain lane." I had already been hit by this truck and I was _standing_ in a crosswalk trying to get the driver to stop. He ran over my bike and right foot trying to get away.

Luckily there was a witness who said she saw my foot under the truck wheel and me screaming and this made it into my pd-10 rpt. I sent in a contest by mail saying that I was using clipless and that there was no way I was changing lanes when the driver rolled over me. About a month ago I got a notice that I had successfully contested and that my $5 was revoked.

I also threatened to take Security Moving Company to small claims and they gave me $1000, which I hastily reinvested in all new goodies for my Hardrock

Maybe you'd like to invite them, since you know them.

Also, I know a few of us will be taking automobiles down there anyway, so it seems a little easier to just do that. Anyway, Ryan I leave the food end of things up to you since you seem on top of it. If anybody has a couple coolers for beer, soda etc... that'd be awesome.

ok, i'll take food. veggie/vegan stuff too?
don't be surprised if i end up ghetto grillin this weekend. aka a barrell full of cinderblocks with some charcoal and a couple pieces of metal to hold the food up. ha.

oh and i can't forget the salt potatos!

Since you checked, did you check if it is allowed to bring a grill?
