i gotta go to the church tonight and make my bike, so i'll be out of there at like 9:30. which leaves little to no time to make the love park ride.
so i'm still going to rittenhouse at 10:45. i hope i'm not the only one.

If you need to borrow a bike for the sunday ride I have a very tall Raleigh Record you could borrow. I am 6 feet tall and its a LITTLE too tall for me, but ride-able. Its not a fixie.... hmmm... I could actually slap together my Huffy Superstar Fixie if you dont mind riding brakeless on a heavy as hell bike with chop bars and 26 inch tires.
I will try and slap that together this weekend, I took the wheels off to use some parts, so its just a matter of putting them back on. Alrighty, hopefully I will make it for sunday.

thrashin thursday ride was good. (the love park ride) we lost a few people after the casual ride to mcglincheys.... the fast loop was great though. very nice loop, pretty much circled all of center city, was a nice distance. i got home at 10 of 12. i recommend that everybody start doing this ride on thursdays! [skipping next thurs of course(turkey day)]

agreed, the love park ride was lovely! everyone should definitely do this ride. legalize-it, were we introduced?
anyway, i thought both rides were great. we had a nice ride from rittenhouse at 11. good group of about 10 people. friendly vibe. it was great meeting people and connecting faces with screen names. only one shouted insult ("go get yourself a chariot!"--whatever that means) from a motorist and one mechanical situation (fruit's roomie's bike) which was quickly fixed.
highlights: 5th street tunnel and fairmount park river path. it was a beautiful night for a ride.
maybe we can have this kind of ride again but on a different night of the week or even on the weekend, and have it earlier because marked001 has to be home at a decent hour. har har.
