So the temps will be dropping this weekend - back into just the 90's during the day 
Would anyone be interested in a B paced PPTC 50 miler on Saturday morning? It starts early, 8:30am but it leaves from Sutton Place in DC (I'll have to look up the actual ride start and I'll update with directions). It should be about 3-4 hours total. Sunday I'm sorta looking for a change from Hains Point. Photon's really got me thinking of crashing the Capitol Hill Bikes coffee shop ride (approximately a CC pace) - usually 40-50 miles starting at 9am, I heard this one's fixie-friendly.

and when you're done with whatever ride you all do on sunday, you should come down to rfk for the criterium. it's a good time, short laps so its very spectator friendly, and the main event (womens cat 1) goes off around 4.

most people would reply with the "i just spit coffee all over my keybaord" comment on a picture like that.
but i'm going to reply with this one instead:
as i checked to see the latest post, a coworker walked into my cube and saw spiderman getting humped by a squirrel. yeah, that wasn't awkward. ha.
thanks tink!
*edit:
red: yeah theres reload stuff in philly. did you say that because you needed some?
i was just asking because i just moved from philly and i'm going up to visit.
theres plenty of stuff in philly that somebody could need.

Yes, I'm a little confused...
Ryan, you are making quite the impression at work. Lets go over your score card in the first 2 weeks?
1) Boss sees you watching vintage Hulkster vids
2) Boss sees you watching cycling vids
3) Boss comments on shirt with a yellow robot and a girl
4) Co-worker spots spidey on your screen with a squirrel going ape on his head
... and you're still there.
Dude, I want your job.

Eliot's awesome. He sold me Sue, my first fix. He worked at Cap Hill Bikes before he left town for SF too. And he came to CM alot.
Tink, try water for your headache. It's that dehydration time of year.

I'd like purchase a Fixed Gear Bicycle. I see a lot of them around and I think that they look pretty cool. I even saw an article on them in the Washington Post! I'm not that strong of a rider but would like one without a brake. My last bike was a mountain bike that I paid $1500 for in 1997 and had full suspension and knobby tires. I never took it off-road though, and once the initial shine wore off I never rode it again. Mountain bikes were so cool back then, but when I look at it now it just doesn't have that same appeal. You can buy it here on craigslist for $1800 if you look for my other posting. It's got top of the line Shimanoe component and I'm asking more for it because I got it tuned up in spring of 2001 and had them put on a pretty sweet "gel" seat.
So if you have a fixed-gear bike you want to sell (preferrably without a brake) let me know I'm willing to pay up to $75.
$100 if it has wooden "phil" hubs.
* this is in or around Hipsterland
* no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
edit: this guy's completely clueless/joking!!!
edit edit... I see I was beat to it... "who did this" didn't show up on the quick scan
