Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

CHICAGO: Thursday Night Sprints N' Drinks, the series

As salome posted in the old thread, how about we have another round of Thursday Night Sprints and Drinks.

Ravenswood at Berteau, on the other side of the tracks (west side). 8PM.

Who's amenable?

There was an Inness at Ball State Gallery. All I remember about it is that I wrote a 10 page paper about naturalism and something about mid-1800 continental expansion. Painful memories.

i agree wholeheartedly with this statement. but my vote doesn't have a chance of counting for two more weeks, but since this is a series... (will it count then?)

no - shaky pacelines and roadbikes on the track are for *******.

I have class until 830pm, but if this goes on after this time - I AM IN!!!!

Dude, really? I think Val can speak to this more, but we always hang on the northside
except for the Skylark that one time.

My vote is more westside & southside or late night posse rides on the LFP

posse rides should be replete with cowboy hats.
