Your comment /question reeks of jealousy! Baby steps grasshopper. Next trip out the "Velodrome 9" will be hammering while you lot do what we all did on Saturday, mainly smile and nod.
Nice vid Wes. Is it just me or does the soundtrack make us look faster? I especially like the "Rotating Wes with maniacal grin"

Hm, i was there from about 10:00 to 10:45 with one of the other fixed group guys. our black fixies were parked outside. i suppose i should've told you what to look for.

somnambulant 06-11-06 04:47 PM

Personally, I just didn't want to wear anything w/ even a chance of catching on the bike/someone else's bike. The whole "don't wear anything that will drive itself into your body on impact" is a valid point too in retrospect. ;)

I guess we can make it Tuesday night. I prefer Monday night. But any night is good for me :)

We could make the start time earlier like 8 or 9pm.

Let's see what the general consensus is going to be.

It's hard to describe, it's such a cool feeling

it's wierd being up high and looking down to see the floor ten feet below you, kind of an uneasy feeling at first but then you just get used to it.

The more I think about it the more I want to go back, you really need to experience it for yourself to know how it feels.
