A good portion of the loop is downhill, so faster than you think.

Last night at the flat track. Good times. Adam brought the grand prize and won the grand prize-- a vegan chocolate bar minus a bite.

And, I meant to split up that chocolate, because, uh, we're all winners... I only won because I had that jersey (thanks to drac_vamp).

I think the flat track races are going to be going on every Sunday throughout the winter. Come join us.
As far as coming to gainesville. Check out the flyer in the race sticky. Should be more good times.

So I was thinking... I'm going to be in south florida visiting the folks for like a month from mid december to mid january. I know a couple other people who are going to be down there... maybe we could make a race at Piccolo then maybe a ft. lauderdale alleycat or there is a crit track arround the velodrome. Would there be any interest in this? I know that the track is pretty much empty... pretty much always. We could take a field trip to business cycles and a couple other shops that have some pretty nice stuff. A friend of mine just bought a vintage torelli with full campy for $600. I know this is in the wrong forum but I just wanted to get a feel for who would like to do this before I start getting any organizing done.
EDIT: wow four consecutive posts from people who live in florida! I just had to jump on the chance that maybe all of you were looking at the same time.

I'm kindof new here, but I want to share my rides. Neither are anywhere near to the point where I want to put them on FGG, but I'm proud none-the-less. As much as I love these, I'd really love to get a real track frame - I just haven't found any frames that caught my eye yet.
A Bridgestone that I stripped and repainted and a GIOS that I did a quick conversion to with NITTO bars. Both using 42x16, both used to commute to work and for recreation (of course).
