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)

NYC ----> T-Town

Ceya kindly asked me to inquire whether any of y'all plan on making the swap meet this saturday. he'd like to organize a group, or hitch a ride, if possible. he'll be on the boards a bit later.

sure. my only thing is, i wanna leave early so that I have at least some chance of scoring something good (though my spider senses are telling me that this thing is going to be a madhouse). Therefore, 6:50am call time. We're on the road by 7.
You guys gotta throw in gas money too. I'm no shuttlebus.

gas money is a given, I'd say meet earlier if yo want so we can be there before it opens.

I've been debating all week wether I want to go, feel lazy for the long drive. If I do go, I need to go early and be in the way back by noon.

Like everyone else, I'd be happy to chip in with gas money, if anybody's got an extra seat!

it's only a two hour drive (probably less). you'll get back by five. unless you plan on hanging out at the velo all day.

Ceya mentioned in passing that there will be a race after the meet. i don't know anything more than that - not sure if it's on the velo or not, but people might want to stay for it. dunno.

back to organizing amongst yourselves.

I'm still looking for a ride hookup... I've got gas money and a driver's license (though I haven't driven in a while!) Anyone? Anyone? Please? I'm better company in person than online, I swear!
