Yeah, everyone is always like "let's do a ride" and everyone says, "YEAH LETS DO IT!" and then that's all.
But I'm with Naz, if it gets sorted this time I'll be there.
And I'm with Al5, if it's early morning weekend I'm ****ing there for sure.

dumpstervegan: For the record I did go for a group ride last weekend, it just ended up being a group of me, myself, and I. We fought, cried, and went our own ways. As for riding: if there's food involved, I'm in

well I know that you are taking a vote for a bigger group ride, but would anyone be interested in a ride this Saturday, the 6th, morning? Meet up about eight thirty or so. Maybe grab some food and cof-ay along the way somewhere.
Just trying to throw something out there that is definite.

I MAY be up for it. I think I am riding with a friend that morning in any case. So we could meet up with you.
Please post the time and location once you have a definitive answer.

A'la what SingleSpeed did only not asking, just telling.

ok, I am a morning person but 6am would be crazy.
If anyone wants to meet up I will be leaving from Clark and Howard at 8 am. I will head south into the city and if anyone would like to hook up along the way, just shout. We can meet up somewhere.
No real plan about route or length, except that it will be south into the city. If anyone wants to hook up anywhere along the way we can go from there.
Like I said it will probably involve some food and coff-ay along the way. Just let me know.

Here that whooshing sound? It's the Chicago Fixie Crowd's street cred plummeting into the abyss.
Do they have a Starbucks in the Borders? You all could go there and grap a frappucinno after you ride up and down the sidewalk a couple of times.
Cha...Y'all may as well go meet at the Lincoln Park VW dealership and troll for Trixies...Sounds like you TrixieMales may be just what they are looking for...

Oh and as my indisputable piece of evidence that she is no Trixie and I am no Chad...she makes more money than I do, yet still married me.

Wait,

That was about 3 versions of said Jeep ago. Smaller tires, smaller lift, no lockers, and I hadn't rolled it.. yet. And all but 3 of the people there sold thier jeeps and gave up becuase.. they weren't comfortable to drive, etc.
