bxrumble was an amazing host. sorry about your frame. the course is great, and anyone who didn't come ride with us completely missed out on an incredible day. the chipmunk acrobatics had to be seen to be believed--as did the half-naked handstands at the orchard beach picnic area and the perplexed looks on a lot of faces as to what the hell the few of us who rode down onto the beach were actually doing there.

mrred, mattsimbols and i rode back through the scenic south bronx. FUN!!!!

so to make the weekend complete, I went to go get breakfast this morning, start to pedal and fell over on my right side. Stripped hub was the culprit...Damn Bronx ride did my ****ty hub in. Still can't believe that thing lasted 4+ years.

I wish I had read this thread yesterday before I took a ride through the bronx that basically went to allmost all of the checkpoints that you guys went to. When I saw you guys near city island, I figured that you were from the 4 boros beer tour that I woke up too late for.

so who is up for another pre-ride saturday?

sunday?

I might be up for Sunday afternoon, assuming I have a working bike.

i'm down for either day. i had a great time.

sounds like sunday, noon group ride from columbus circle or 1pm @ the big bat @ stadium

I'd be down.

What is the status on your frame?

spread the word badassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

the people @bilenky are going to give me a whole new rear end for free as soon as i can get it to them.if anybody wants a nice custom frame built by nice people who's frames are twice as nice as they are check out bilenky

Is that Brean doing some lug-carving or something!?

and incredibly enough, that image remains unmolested by photoshop.

Are folks still meeting up at 1pm at the Bat? I'll be coming in to preride either way. Hope to meet up with whomever is doing this sunday.

Tragic.

not gonna make it, sorry.

we doing this potentially soggy?

well, 5 of us did it without sog.

ho, the playground at the oval is the one that actually has the sign on its fence that marks it as the "williamsbridge oval playground," right? cos there are 3 playgrounds and that seems to be the only one marked that way.

went up with a small crew yesterday. will put up any photos and points of interest in the coming days.

• saw one lone rider up there but he didn't respond to hailing frequencies.

• apparently, someone has been tagging up the course with arrows like they do for century rides. somebody from here?

• be careful going through the park. seriously

we didn't see any of these on the route we took. we did get yelled at by some guy though. "y'all is on the wrong strip. y'heard?!"

i knew this would happen when my frame cracked,so here is a photo

forecast looks nice for sunday. anyone goin up?

I might be down.
