The group ride is leisurely. The sprints are a couple hundred yards; I think about two blocks.

yeah i was thinking about that the other day.. i need a 17e cog!!! anyone? hey we should have team sprints..

What time will the sprints start? I have obligations earlier in the day and can't join at 3pm, maybe 5pm though.
Al

They'll probably start a bit later than that. Ben's number is on the flyer; give him a call when you're free and you'll be able to find him/us.

SUNDAY.

First Friday ride. Downtown PHX. Meet up and cruise around 8:00 PM!

Get in touch.

Last night was rad. Thanks for coming up everyone!

Argh. I'll call you tomorrow after work to find out if the ride has started yet. Let's just hope that Vegan John, Phoenix's Fastest Rickshaw Driver, doesn't show up and totally dominate the sprints.

Actually, I hope he does show, he's a nice guy. But I WANNA WIN THIS THING!

Okay, so I didn't win. Some guy apparently nobody knows comes along and annihilates all comers. But that **** was fun. The Numbers race and this sprint series are revealing a part of my character I didn't really know existed: I ****ing love to race.

Thanks to Ben for lighting a fire under the Phoenix bike scene's ass. Thanks to Keith for figuring out the brackets and organzing that ****. Thanks to Ash for dropping the flag, and to the folks who plugged the intersection. Thanks even to the cop who stopped by and told us we could race as long as everyone not actually racing stayed out of the street, and thanks to Emily for talking to him so we all didn't just move to the default "being kicked out" state and go find somewhere else to race. Thanks to Will for being gracious for knocking my ass out in the second round.

Just thanks.

Agreed. Thanks to all involved (gotta give extra props to Emily for handling the cop). The sprints were mad fun. Good to see the same people and a **** load of new people turn out. So, what's next?

Next?! NEXT?!! I'LL RACE YOU RIGHT NOW, MUTHA****A!!!

Um, get together and ride? I'll most likely have to skip the April Hot City Monthly, as it falls a little uncomfortably close to (a) a wedding I'm participating in as a groomsman, and (b) the due date of The Provisional Daughter To Be Named Later. But if I'm free, and if you're up to it, I can usually go out and ride late at night.

I'd love to organize a race, but I don't think I have the time right now. And I love to actually race too much.

Thanks to all who came out. What's next? You tell me!!!

Sprints are just plain fun. I could always be into that again.

yes! I wanted so bad to do the sprints, but didn't get back home until after 7:30 last night

Hello,

New to the board and the scene. I grew up racing BMX and riding motorcycles. I have recently gotten bit by the Fixie bug by my friends in SF and Seattle. I have started my search for my bike build. I wanted to start with an older frame and build up a conversion. I have been having trouble finding anything in this city. Any friendly helpful shops? I want to get rolling by March 3rd to come out.


Dave

Dave - excellent. Check who sponsored the last two HCMs. Highly recommended!
Al

Yeah! I rolled through Saturday but they closed at 5. I am goign to try to make it sometime this week.

Also check out Slippery Pig. Erik, the owner, rides fixed and SS, and they usually have a wide selection of used road frames fit for conversion. Keep in touch.

1. more sprints!
2. crazy speep-ass hill climb w/ high speed decent contest (fixed gear required!)
3. 4-person "around the block" single elimination criterium - first 2 riders advnace (industrial park would be good for this)
4. George & Dragon to Casey's round trip group ride



Last night was da s*** - thanks everybody.

Anybody have contact info for the tempe based bike co-op?

Hell yes!

Oh hell yes. I nominate "A" Mountain.

**** yes. Although the likelihood of carnage is extremely high, this would be a blast.

Now you're speaking my language. We can take the Grand Canal and turn it into a race; first one to do a shot at the George, ride to Tempe, and do a shot at Casey's, is the winner.

no casey's palo vedre lounge is better and maybe cheaper and they dont card... but lets keep that on the DL...
