Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Goddam you people! I leave the country for a week and you get all this together!!???

GRRRRRRRRR

I am at 23rd and Lombard now (around the corner from Doobies Bar, another great place), but Thursday is the ONLY night I cant do anything... I work until 9pm on thursday then I have to be at work by 8am the next day. Damn you people, I want to ride (well, I ride everyday and night, but I mean I would rather ride with a group) grrrrrr.

i should stop complaining.... i didnt organize anything. I guess I am just jealous.

Doobies is the closest thing to a regular bar I have - I was gonna suggest it actually.

As for the ride time - you got us. We planned it for while you were out of the country intentionally. We even formed a club. Its called the No-nocoins Club.

Maybe next time=]

I'll be there with a friend if I get out of work early enough (there is a good chance tonight). So it is about 5 people now?

ATTENTION!!!! i got a flyer from a coworker about thursday rides, meet at 10PM at the LOVE sign in love park. starts off with a 5mile 'leisurely' ride, followed by a +15 mph serious ride. i think im gonna attend that, then see about stopping by at rittenhouse depending on the time line. anyone else in? maybe everyone who planned on doing the ride we set up for 11PM could show up for this one. we can unify our rides if we try!

for real, for real?! cool. i'm down for the 10PM ride. however, for those of us who can't do 10PM, the meeting place for our ride should still be rittenhouse park at 11PM. after tonight, if people are into the experience, we can plan for a different night. get as many riding ops going as we can. it's nearly impossible to schedule a perfect time, that'll work with everybody's schedule.

do you have more info about the love ride distance? i'm going to peel off before 11 to meet the people at rittenhouse, in case they don't check this list in time, nah mean?!
