Go for a nice round about ride then sit and have a Pint or Guiness that be ok

you've been uninvited. ;)

uh.. I was thinking about 5:30 or 6:00. Enough time for a little spin first. As for where, I'm not sure. Obviously a patio is a priority, but I know everyone else in the city is probably thinking the same thing. The Black Bull obviously has a pretty big one, but if anyone else has a suggestion then I'm open.

Ok meet you at 5:30 at Moon Bean or some sort?

:roflmao: Guiness gives ya strong legs and stamina

sure.

Anyone know anything?

Cyclist killed in midtown collision
Apr. 20, 2006. 10:50 AM

A male cyclist is dead after he was struck by a dump truck at Avenue Rd. and Briar Hill Ave. this morning.
The cyclist, whose name has not been released, was struck at about 8:45 a.m.

He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

oy. another one.

with the number of drump trucks barrelling along downtown lately it doesn't really surprise me.

I'm not one to bet on peoples life, but i'm thinking he got pulled underneath when the truck turned into him at an intersection?

No conjecture from me. Welcome to construction season, and smog days. And people say I'm crazy for biking through the winter.

That sucks. I grew up right around there. I wonder how it went down, Briar Hill is a side street with minimal traffic.

Hear hear! My thoughts exactly! I remember saying when the weather first improved that simply the number of ****** fair-weather cyclists I have to deal with wobbling around the road and blowing through red-lights on an average warm day makes me appreciate the cold ones... and that didn't even get to anything about construction, smog days, guys in honda civic's with melon-launcher exhausts, sub-woofers, aggressive drivers, drunks, "heat blast" from trucks/busses, etc. Most of those things still exist in the Winter, but they're not nearly as common.

I'm already pressed for space on the bike racks in the basement now. Two months ago I could have parked by laying my bike on the spine of the rack and no one would have said a word. I go down there yesterday and there is a sign which reads "Be Polite ...... take your lock when you take your bike. signed Other cyclists" WTF ? Sorry my brick of a lock is stayin' right where it is.

I won't be out of here until 6. How about pints at Ronnie's local 069? 69 Nassau.

Sounds good.. see you there. So now y'all know where we'll be so you can all show up. It's not like you have anything better to do. :)

I have a pile of old round key locks you can borrow to "decorate" the rack if you want :D

i'd be down for a ride after work. are we meeting at moonbeam before pints?

yeah.. moonbean @ 5:30.

what with all the perfect weather this week, i can't believe there were no CV rides...

duuuude.. It's like 4:20 on 4/20 maaan!

lol....everyday..... I'm in here til 9....bugger.

CV ride organization has been replaced in my mind with "OH sonofa***** I haven't started my paper yet" and "OH sonofa***** I haven't started packing my boxes to move yet". That being said, I am about to head out the door to go for a ride.

cool. if i can't get out of this office/box by then i'll catch you another time.

come meet up with us!

No CV ride Vetern-youth is working late and he replaced my rear Cog today so I am now running 42x16 the 18 Cog was way to easy and link to the new spoke card http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7...1/1600/1.0.jpg

42x18? spinny! :)

speaking of CV, I really have zero clue who all was there on the last ride. The only people I remember are the people I already sort knew.. dom/jeremy/rob. next time we need a group picture with notes on flickr. :)
