WTF? Broke chaingring bolts? How did you do that?

yeah. man.. How did you do that...?

I ride a lot.

So do I but I've never broke a chain ring bolt. Was chewbacca riding your bike or something?

Nice! I'm working in Mountain View right now, moving to the city on sep. 1, so I'll be commuting south. I'm planning on hitting the caltrain, or (don't hate) driving some days when I've gotta wear a suit. I'd definitely be interested in riding down some days though. I'll PM some of you guys once I get moved in.

Dude, chewbacca is always riding my bike. Honestly though, I don't know, the heads just broke off of two of the bolts and fell out of the holes. I was wondering why my drivetrain got noisy all of a sudden and when I got home that was the situation...

Man, that is so weird. I wonder if they were bunk bolts or something? There shouldn't be enough stress on them that the heads would be snapping off.

That route looks mostly like city streets with alot of traffic signals, how many signals do you cross?

Lots, we run most of them because at 5-7am there are almost no cars on the road. It's not until Palo Alto that you have to worry about traffic. Hell, we ran a train crossing today, that was a little iffy, I think it scared Kendal awake :D

hahah awesome song dokushoka
nice new avatar too


that sf to sj ride sounds like a great time...if i can get my sleeping habits switched around id love to join you guys one morning. hopefully my hunkajunk conversion can hang with you guys
you can take a train back to sf from san jose right? sorry, i dont know the surrounding cities too well...only been in sf this year and havent really left the city much at all

is this ride happening tomorrow?

Sorry, I didn't look at this thread last night, I skipped today since nobody had called me. Next tuesday is on. You in? Give me a ring if so.

Anybody ever ride from SF directly to Hellyer? I know it's in the SJ area, but I've never been. How close does your route run to Hellyer?

Hellyer is another 10 miles or so by the map.

hellyer is pretty south sj, i've never done the ride myself but i'd assume it would add somewhere near 30-45 minutes to the total time from sf to sj that the guys above do. it takes me maybe an hour from where my parents are in the south bay. and the ride from sf to their house is about 2 - 2.5 hrs i think? i might be slow though.

Word. If this ride's going down next week, I might join ya'all just to see the route down to the area.

Realistically, you're not going to be competitive at the track after such a long ride. I'd be damn tired...

Right on, 5am start time, 16th and 3rd, tuesdays and thursdays.
PM me for my phone number and let me know if you're gonna show up...

Chewy wouldnt ride a stock bike, at his size it has to be custom!!!!
