Hank, Aaron Leply and I managed to make it across the bay just the once, at 4am after multiple cocktails it was pleasent. Sober the next night getting back required a car with a roofrack... thanks robb!

Its a different peter. He never leaves town, might as well sleep on the streets of ybor, and is brand new to fixed gear. But I am convincing all these kids to come race on the 13th.

Bobby, I'm interested in working a checkpoint for your race (if you still need help). I'm bikeless at the moment and will be for probably another 1-2 months.

On another note, my buddy had been sending me pics all last week from Interbike. Lots of new stuff that looks amazing (and even more stuff that looks terrible).

Kneecam is making the rounds again.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time.
More than This or This.

That guy makes me want to ride my bike tomorrow at 7pm from 66Fixed,
to Berlin, and back.

nice Nice NICE!!

Trade you a carbon Gan Well Pro, two Keirin carbon/kevlar armored gloves, a signed Andy Hampsten crossing the Passo di Gavia poster, and a ticket to Howl-o-Scream for it?

Wonder if we could replace the steering wheel with red nitto b123aa's?

anybody got rollers they want to loan/rent/sell/give to me? I am kind of nervous about buying them new, even though 66 has a folding Minoura. at least I think it folds.

More and more by the day.
Come buy something.

Joe, I'll lease you a set of rollers for $150/year.

Edit: And no one showed up for the 7pm ride. I wasn't really going to Berlin.

Holla if you're looking for others to ride. My brother and I ride pretty frequently but got bored of downtown, other people to ride with would spice that up.

Yes, Robb, I said 'holla'.

Who the hell are you?


Anyway, the Hilly Hundred is coming up on October 21st. I'm riding it fixed because I have to prove a point. I'm not yet sure what that point is, but it will be proven nonetheless.

Registration deadline is this week, I think: https://www.tbfreewheelers.com/main/Home.php

There's a saying about the wii...

If I had one, it would probably get as much use as my eyetoy...
