I could be up for one, and I'll actually go this time, as long as it starts after 10.

I see you down there Trevor, lets here a yay or nay. And if it's a yay let me know if we should rock the road bikes. I rode mine around for a while today and think I'm getting the hang of this coasting and shifting deal.

Yay. I'm dealing with some food bloat, but I should be straightened out by the time I need to roll. I'll be fixed for the citified riding. Shifting is fun, but it just doesn't work for me around town.

I got a flat as I rolled out of Cambridge. Figured it was bad karma and would make me late no matter what, so I just said "eh", walked home and went to bed.

Seems reasonable.

The only question in my mind: fixed or Ultegra?

It was a bit of a flacid ride. My poor leadership qualities took us all over nowhere.

I rolled out on my track bike. I like the road bike and all, but coasting still gives me the willies, and, I'm not sure how well I'll be able to pace other riders on it. Time will tell!

Mmmm... Supper fast.

Yeah, in retrospect, I felt like a jackass. I wasn't trying to set a fast pace, it just sort of jumped me, I guess.

That bike was suhweet!
