i'm gonna cop out of this not because of the fact its going to go all over the city and have 14 checkpoints, but because of the small chance i'll throw an edge fit and get disqualified.

andre nickatina 12-23-07 03:27 AM

just pull the "i swear i'm not 21" tip.

zelah 12-23-07 03:29 AM

"shhh its cool kid we won't tell your mom"
"i...uh...**** your poison!" and then i throw the spoke card on the ground and am not welcome at coffee shops anymore

is that what you want

i might come out for it, we'll see

delicious 12-23-07 03:31 PM

dang....i'm gonna be in florida during that time

crustycog 12-23-07 04:02 PM

well since ashlands such a small damn town and i can count all the fixie/ss riders on one hand i thought id post on here

hit me up if youre in town im always down to ride
the only difference between ashland and portland is we smoke weed before riding
instead of drinking some artsy microbrew

andre nickatina 12-23-07 05:11 PM

people smoke weed before riding here too. i get fat off beer calories, they get fat off voodoo donuts and taqueria cart munchies :D

It's just that I'm a substance abuser.

andre nickatina 12-24-07 02:21 PM

Devolution 12-24-07 02:57 PM

Anything alley-cat like planned around the handmade show? I shall be coming to town for a few days.

andre nickatina 12-24-07 02:58 PM

donnamb 12-24-07 07:22 PM

Sounds fun. Keep us posted.

donnamb 12-28-07 06:22 PM

the portland thread.
 
The BEN HURT II Chariot Wars are coming up in February. There is a nifty GIF you can add to your BF signature. Even if you don't participate, it's fun to be in the audience. At any rate, if you put that GIF in your signature, everyone will be able to see how awesome Portland can be. :D

no new news on the fox alleycat... i think the long streak of rain has had somethign to do with it.

delicious 12-29-07 04:18 PM

im back in town on monday, hopefully it doesn't happen until then

akaio 01-03-08 01:18 PM

That alleycat ever happen? I need something to get me out and riding. I feel like the holidays were nothing but calories. Though my knee and ankles have been feeling achy lately.

Hey I know its not a ride or race, but is bike polo still going on? Id like to start/try playing it, but ive only seen internet vids. If its still going on on sundays rain or shine Id like to watch a game then go attempt to make a mallet.

Attention denizens of Portland.
Ambassador Fox, formerly of the Land of Ports and currently stationed in the City of San Francisco, is scheduled to make a visit on the weekend before New Years, and very possibly will spend the Eve there, along with a number of other dignitaries (read: "Bike Messengers"). A race is in the works and Ambassador Fox sincerely hopes you and your cool self can participate. Whether to race, or to run a checkpoint (read: "hang out with me in a coffeeshop/ bar"), or even to heckle folks involved in either (cough, Brady), it should be aight (read: "hella tight, yo"). the race is planned to involve all four quadrants of the city, and while it will definitely NOT be as ****ed up as the 1st Annual Fox Thursday Alleycat (sorry, NeRf), it will be kinda ****ed up. I am sure you noble citizens of Portland are curious and want to know exactly HOW, but....but.... you'll just have to wait. Please RSVP so I can plan the race accordingly. With sincere hope and humble gratitude, I remain, your obedient servant. See you all soon, Fox.



hope you guys are in shape for this one, his last alleycat had us running all over the place... 13 or 14 checkpoints.

not yet, but probably late summer/early fall.

i don't even think fox made it to town now, let alone threw the alleycat.

bike polo typically goes down at alberta park. leave the nice bike at home for that stuff. i haven't gotten into it, but a lot of the messengers play.

zelah 01-04-08 12:57 AM

i scoped out polo once and it was all beards

not my scene

andre nickatina 01-04-08 01:22 AM

sure is. beards, beers, and b1tchin beater bikes.

akaio 01-05-08 03:49 PM

Well, Ive got the beard for it, but I need to work on the beater bike. Ill wrangle some parts together by spring.

andre nickatina 01-06-08 12:57 PM

bye bye portland!
hello eugene :(
