I'm going to try to get out of work 30min early today and see if I can meet up w/ C/M. The weather should be nice and it's been ages since I've ridden in one, let alone seen it go by. If anyone else is planning on showing up please let me know. I may need to call someone's cell number once I get downtown to find out where people are currently at.

it worked surprisingly well: we put our bikes against one tree to block off one end, and a poncho at the other end and it became like a little cocoon.
DIY FTW!

I went down to Riverdale park with the lady to watch a friends ball game the other night and my lady and I jokingly started to ride up that crazy hill - with her basically challenging me to try and ride up it. Totally blew my mind - and hers as well - when I took a few super deep breaths and exploded up the hill - on 46x16 fixed w00t! Made it to the top in what felt like a record time and was crazy fun. Who's up for uphill sprints!?
