yeah people, don't make him drop the "iron curtain"* on you! we race rain or shine. it don't matter!



*(for those of you unwashed heathen who don't know what an "iron curtain" is, it's supposedly one of them moves that ends up earning a wacky name like "hot carl", "rusty trombone" or "angry dragon".)

wet, stinky, winded boys and girls!!! hot!!!

supposed to be pretty windy too. gear for wet, wind-whipped bridge inclines up and down. sounds like a lot of bridge roundtrips.

If you decide to do this BEWARE!!! There are always tons of cops on both ends to the tunnel.

Anightinthewood 04-21-06 10:35 AM

yeah... that might be a problem...
but hey if enough people go for it might work out i guess we'll find out tommorow.

please don't take the battery tunnel. you WILL get arrested and could bring this whole thing down.

i liked the first two movies (actually, i thought part two was better), but i hated the third. sophia coppola was a horrible actress. she was better as a stripper when i saw her at scandals in queens.

I have to agree that sophia coppola's performance at scandals in queens was definitely something to remember. memorable. rememorable. i wouldn't forget it. but that's just my measly opinion.

I tried to convince some Philly friends of mine to come up and race, but they *****ed out because of the rain. We'd have been either the "Skinny Joey's" or the "Fat Tony's".

Anyways, if anybody needs someone who isn't especially fast and doesn't really know their way around brooklyn, I'm available...

Anyone wanna be on a medium-fast/probably-too-cautious rider's team? If I get committed to a team, than I'll have to show up. (please, no R1 jokes. seriously...)

vomit.

ella 04-21-06 06:54 PM

Godd##* Sh** I'm completely upset. I can't get a hold of bianca and I neglected to try to find meredith from DC (anybody?) I only want to be an all girl hit squad. (sorry red menace but maybe?)

Anyway I want only fast, ruthless girls who aren't afraid of crappy weather, tunnels, trucks or killing fat guys. We'll own the town. But first let's talk biz-ness.

FIND ME. I'll be the wierd girl without any friends and a red fixie. I know where S*# is.

it's beautiful outside! put on your PVC and get the **** out there. if i don't see each and every one of you ripping and shredding today, there will be eviscerations. don't think twice, ****ers.

ch0mb0 04-22-06 05:34 PM

yeeeeeeah birches! 3rd place! thanks trackstar crew & co. for a fun soggy day!

cityraincityst 04-22-06 07:11 PM

I'm so bloody pissed that I couldn't be there today. I love nothing more than to ride in the rain. And also to race. The combination would have been almost too much to handle. Lucky.

s_9 warms up his foot over candle after the race.

Seriously everyone soaked up to bone. Once I got home I found large quantity of water in rear rim must have got in from spoke holes and valve hole. When I rotate it slowly I hear water splashing like washing machine! See and hear it.

crayonsemble 04-22-06 11:57 PM

joe_curry 04-23-06 12:05 AM

this was my first time riding/being in new york. Crash course:nyc. Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be, but that weather was nasty. Props to my buddy in team 4 (fat tonnys ands skinny joeys) who got his backwheel hit by a car and kept riding after having some one of the dons goons slam his wheel on the ground to "true" it. Im horrible with names, but im sure ill be reminded.
OH! and also thanks to the 3 kids that I met in chinatown who gave me directions to meet up with my friends. Its always cool to see kids with bikes around. Again, bad with names. But thanks.

genericbikedude 04-23-06 09:09 AM
