Was riding around all weekend; saw nobody out riding a fix in Chicago. Where has everybody gone? I know it rained a little on Sunday but come on. I usually see you guys all over the place. I'm on the black IRO with the blue rubbers and tape.

recovering from friday races at the track.

breaking in the brooks on my touring bike.

Uhhh, Intonation?

uhhh, hipster ******.

chicagodave and I were out in rural illinois getting some fresh air.

We figured out I can throw a frisbee to myself and catch it. Not easy!

What a putz. Nice hat.

Wedding in Kenosha on Friday, Intonation on Saturday, eating lox/complaining about Performance closing at 6 yesterday.

I was on a road bike.

Rode to Evanston/Wilmette on Saturday with the girl. Rode to Chinatown on Sunday.

Anyboey been to Turin of late? I'm surprised at how much stuff they have now -- really nice selection of stuff. They actually have the Chrome knickers in stock amongst other Chrome goods. Complete selection of Sidi's. Lots of stuff I haven't seen all in one store in a long time. Had a surprising amount of track stuff -- Phil Wood (blue hubs), kashimax top tube protectors, etc. Almost Performance-like but better.

Not to mention that Independent Fabrications roadie that I'm still drooling over. A few IF frames laying around and whatnot.

They re-did the store and all. Not bad at all.

Yeah, I was there the other day. The sales floor seems a little messier but they do have a lot more stuff. I did dig the blue Phils in the glass case though. Not sure who they're gonna sell that stuff to. Not a whole lot of fixed riders over on the north side of Chicago. Still a cool shop though.

Wait, you didn't see one fixie on the road?!

Were you riding in Little Village where people of all ages ride little kid bmx's ??

I was uptown with the crazies and then at the track in n.brook for about 4 hours on saturday.

I was inside doing a 15 hour hackathon with folk.

Is it ******y to go see bands in a park? Did I miss something here?

let's see:
friday - got home around six from work then i took a shower and relaxed until i went and got lit later on.
saturday - woke up a little late but got up in time to watch the world cup. watched ufc then went to the abby to enjoy cage and mr. lif.
sunday - stayed in until about 9pm. i then went to a local bar for some refreshments.

i think a better question is, where were you? how come you dont ride where i ride?

c-monkey

forgot to mention that i have just purchased clipless sandals which will make stopping interesting. rode from my crib to evanston and back...not sure if i saw you. peace.

i was at a ping pong tournament all weekend. no kidding!

still managed to get 30 miles or so in, though. and a really nasty flat that tore up the sidewall of my front tire, requiring a new tire and a rather uncomfortable long walk home in my bike shoes.

How was Mike Skinner?
