Chicago riders - group ride this weekend?
 
I figured I'd post this now so people would have time to figure things out. I'd like to get people together for a group ride this weekend. Maybe go down to Chinatown for food or something like that. Who'd be up for something? Saturday and Sunday both work for me - if you're interested in this let me know what day and time would be best for you. I'd prefer a morning start to afternoon.

I may be up for it depending on how much of my soul has been sucked from me by the public school system.

What, no Downers Grove Criterium? :eek: I'll be there all weekend myself!

Fugazi Dave 08-17-04 03:06 PM

Wasn't familiar with said criterium.

US Pro Criterium. Highlights include Bike vs. Rollerblader & Big Wheels!
Ian Mackaye would be there, if he knew about it.

i am up for either day. the only thing the dg crit is good for are the crashes.
just PM or call me Dave. saturday is a drinkin night for sure...

skitbraviking 08-18-04 03:20 PM

I am NOT up for a long ride. However, I could meet up for a leg or so. Just went to a Vietnamese deli up near you, FD, which was f-ing great. What time were ya thinkin'?

Fugazi Dave 08-18-04 04:45 PM

I was thinking maybe around 10:00 Saturday morning, people could meet up somewhere north side. I'm feeling sorta lazy, so a shorter ride involving some general off-bike loafing would be cool by me.

skitbraviking 08-18-04 06:00 PM

Cool. Let's talk sooner to that time. I need some time during the day to get some s**t done around my place and maybe do some planning. Either in the morning or after the ride. Either way, some ride will happen.

pitboss 08-18-04 06:25 PM

yes, it will. seems to be only 3 willing to ride. weak

We didn't need them anyhow! :mad:

Fugazi Dave 08-18-04 06:30 PM

Yeah!

*shakes fist defiantly*

absntr 08-18-04 09:56 PM

I'm in for the most part - let me know when and where.

al5 08-19-04 07:41 AM

why dont all of you stop by the thorndale redline and fill out some of my girlfriends masters-thesis surveys? i'll be there with a sign on my bike that says "fill out a community garden survey, chance to win 20 bucks (and in really small type.. i'd rather be eating feces". good, embarrasing times ahead. (but you have live in wicker park, ravenswood, or rogers park).

pitboss 08-19-04 08:51 AM

why the hell not. Anything to watch another human sink to a new low.

Fugazi Dave 08-19-04 08:52 AM

Fine by me - it's less than a block from my apartment!

al5 08-19-04 09:11 AM

excellent- i'll keep my eye out for a mob of fixie-riding survey-filler-outers! you cant miss us - we'll be the idiots trying to get mean chicago-ans to fill out a survey. (look for a pink-moustached-SS and a red-saddlebagged-SS)

naz: bring all your friends, i know you have a ton :)

pitboss 08-19-04 09:13 AM

bring your 20s

skitbraviking 08-19-04 01:32 PM

Yea, I like 20s.

Fugazi Dave 08-19-04 02:03 PM

I also like 20s.

absntr 08-19-04 02:10 PM

20's? What is this 20's you speak of? 40's is where it's at.

Fugazi Dave 08-19-04 02:11 PM

In addition to 20s, I do enjoy 40s. Except if it's Olde English...

Fugazi Dave 08-19-04 06:02 PM

al5 - what time will you be at the El stop?

fixiechick 08-19-04 07:04 PM

Awww. :( I'd like to meet up for a ride but I'll be at the DG crit. Hey, what about getting together a night ride some time? I love having the roads to myself late at night. We could even stop by Pick Me Up Cafe for a nosh.

Fugazi Dave 08-19-04 07:09 PM

I'm up for a night ride any night that I'm not working the next day.
