Hey 48x16, etc. I had fun on last week's ride, and I was wondering if there was another one planned for this week. I might be able to convince my girlfriend to come out and ride, which would remove the need (other than work tuesday) for going home really early.

So yeah.... Same bat time, same bat station?

How about Wednesday night? Weather.com is calling for showers during the day but only partly cloudy in the evening.

So, Wednesday 8:30pm, North/Damen/Milwaukee right outside the double door.

Wed. is tuff. Tonight's a no-fly eh? Tuesday?

Hey, how far do you all ride? Where do you go? Are you all FG/SS specific?
Can anyone join in?

Tuesday would be better? Ok then.

Tuesday, 8:30pm. North/Damen/Milwaukee. On the corner where the double door is.

Patrick - treechunk rode a mountain bike last time we rode. we don't care what you're on. We never know how far we're gonna go.

treechunk - you're planning the route this time!

alright. How's about south?

as long as it's the sketchty south.

I'm ok with South as long as someone knows which roads are cool to ride on. I've heard bike lanes are pretty much non-existant down there and some of the roads are pretty rough.

yeah you northerners know nothing about us hicks down here on the southside. fyi, we have tumbleweeds too.

actually, maybe i'm biased because i live here, but i find once i'm south of the loop everything opens up and is much more pleasurable. and yes there are bike lanes.

I was thinkin' damen/ogden/california/archer-archer/michigan/roosevelt/halsted/north.

Things are RELATIVELY smooth on those streets, but the south side really isn't as smooth as the north side. Bike lanes are nice, but one should not necessarily keep oneself bound to streets with such. I think it'll be a fun ride though.

that's not the southside that's the west side.

you tell 'em!

I need you to show me around your part of the city sometime.

and I also need you to give me more pumpkin bread. now. please.

Salome, teadoggg...join us?

sorry dude - i'm booked that night.

come out to the track sometime, your bike wants to go.

psssst... teabagg doesn't really like to ride. he just likes to be seen with his bike. oh did I say that out loud?

yeah, i just go to the track to heckle Naz. bike riding sucks. I just buy stuff so you guys can't have it.

hahaha, you lame track bike riders! LAAAAAMMMMEEEE!

I do that with records. Hahah!

has anyone ever told you that you look like rob lowe?

i'll probably not be there, but who knows with me.

hey taco man, i need some pulveron!!!

YES!!! you're the third person to tell me that!!

ladies (and carlos), if you forgot, feast your eyes on me:

what? i thought you were rob lowe! i wish he would stop staring at me like that.

so, i need to spend some QT with the Mrs., but if i can get her to come on the ride I'll be there.

oh, and Treechunk, nice work on torchin my bottom bracket.. i think i'm gonna leave the black marks.. looks cool!

Actually, that would probably depend on whether we went south on Archer or not. The south side doesn't start THAT far from where I live.

sweeeet. Flames on bikes are ALWAYS cool.

I saw that Rob Lowe videotape! It almost ended his career until his 'reinvention' as Sam Seaborn on West Wing!

Wait to much info...

A ride tomorrow? Maybe I'll make it up north, it would be cool to meet some new BF people.
This means I gotta drive though... I try not to do that as much...
