Good seeing everyone tonight. I'm going to propose that tomorrow night we repair to Triple D's in my neck of the woods. There's nothing special on Friday nights (Saturday is karaoke, rats!), but the beers are cheap, seating should be ample, and the place is closing. Get some while the getting's good. Homey little dive bar, it's one of my favorite places.
What say yas?

Race Results for last night's track sprints!
Miss and Out:
1. Dan from Providence
2. Derek
3. (I forget, sorry dude!)
Madisons:
Team Wasted (Derek, Ian, Erik, Henry, and some kid whose name I forget) barely nudged out Team Foreigner (me, Dan from Providence, Scott from Providence, Hannah from Providence, and J-Rowe) for the win.
It was a great night of racing, evenly matched and fast as our drunken legs would carry us. The Providence crew vowed to come back and whup our Bostonian asses. Are we going to let them?? I think not.

Depending on my shoulder situation, I may even be persuaded to throw down next week too. Have fun beating me while it lasts, *****es. We'll see who's the man next summer.
Right now I'm thinking about riding over to Harris to get an AC Racing freewheel and some bar tape. I notice that I keep tearing (small tears) the Cinelli on both of my bikes, even on the one with the good wrapping job. Should I switch to cloth tape? Get my hands checked to see if I have Incredible Hulk-like strength?

thanks to all the BOSTON guys (and girls) for taking us out when we arrived. Awesome beers, awesome food, awesome company (or should I say "Wicked Awesome"). Please tell me when you are coming to philly, the favor will be returned to you. I am sorry I was not able to make it out the next night. Being in East Boston sucks... you have a curfew due to the train schedule. I will have to say that I found Boston rather bike UNfriendly. But then again I live in a city where you can bike everywhere and its just a big grid.... I think I have been spoiled really. but THANKS AGAIN for EVERYTHING!!!
