Well, my frame is supposed to come FedEx tomorrow. Gotta go pick up tubes and tires and a chain, then build it up though, so I probably won't be out until sort of later..

I'd be up for it but I'm having a meeting of sorts tomorrow evening at coincidentally enough, the Handlebar.

Am planning on going to see Kill Bill which is currently on it's fourth rescheduling with friends. If that doesn't happen, and history suggests that it won't, I'm up for it. What time were you thinking?

pitboss 04-28-04 08:21 AM

I should be on my way home something between 5-530pm. Heading ever north from the steel canyons of the loop

Winds are strong indeed. I was out running on the path during lunch - saw a guy who had a makeshift sail attached to his rack - awesome!

skitbraviking 04-28-04 02:56 PM

Sorry all... Not coming. Going to see Kill Bill Vol. 2

pitboss 04-28-04 07:32 PM

you all missed out.
nice ride, nice beer, nice food. LFP north, swooped the alleys back south 'til Holiday club was in sights. Stopped had a brew, some conversation, and grilled cheese and tomato sammie.
Planning another ride this weekend, keeping it loose - no cat herding.

Do it again towards the end of May and I'm all about it. I'm in Edgewater by the Thorndale stop on the Red Line.

Damn son..I am at the Loyola stop. Neighbor.

what the heck, not only are there a bunch of people on here form Chicago, but good grief, we are all north siders. I know there are a few others here around the city, but damn I didn't realize that there were this many of us on the north side.

Fugazi Dave 04-28-04 09:00 PM

Well, I've been here about a month, so I'm still a new import. Don't even have my bikes here yet (two weeks left to wait).

skitbraviking 04-28-04 09:21 PM

I'm in for this weekend provided that the weather doesn't suck toes with toe jam. THe best day seems to be saturday, with a scattered thunderstorm forecast.

I'd be up for a ride sunday afternoon, provided the weather is decent. As of right now, weather.com is forecasting a day of gray soup. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

damen/argyle, the brown line can beat up the red line

singlespeed 04-29-04 06:56 AM

:p ah hell! here it goes! Damen/Argyle whooping up on the red line??? I don't think so! This is the same red line that runs THE ENTIRE CITY length, believe me it is a long ride. :p

the brown line is all business, no play. the red line messes around with frivolous things like "going underground" and "michigan ave".

Red Line - TCB...nuff said. Now get back to bikes

absntr 04-29-04 09:35 AM

The Yellow Line. That's a line that's all TCB. Only one stop direct shot.
