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)

sounds delicious, but alas, i'm a sucka, because i'm doing the 9-5 thing. around what time were you thinking?

(by the way, big red run is an excellent name for a wednesday ride. i like that you are breaking the convention of using words that start with the same letter as the day of the week)

i think the departure time could accomodate some of you "working stiffs" if y'all are interested. i think it will take around 50-60 minutes to get out there and a quicker return since north broad runs downhill. so if any of this entices the white collar/blue collar sorts, a 5:30-6 launch time might be the way to go. otherwise the freelancers/slouches will rip whenever we get out of bed.

bahhhh, **** a duck!

I work 12:00 - 9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays... those are my busy client nights. *****. What is going on for this weekend though? and Thrashin' Thursday? well... I guess I should go check THOSE threads instead of asking you guys. Man, I am glad I checked this before going out for the pretzel ride tonight.

i guess we'll go as fast as we go.
maybe we should get you one of those full body airbag thingees. they might not exist yet, but it couldn't hurt to place an order so you get it as soon as it's invented.

if you turn big red run into an acronym, it's the sound people make sometimes in winter when they go outside.

I leave the state for a few days and suddenly there's a NEW ride!?! WOAW! Is this a holiday engagement (like holiday spiced pepsi, or the popular shamrock shake) or will this be yet another weekly chance for me to blow off responsibility and ride with you all. BTW- asheville is hilly as **** but there is a pretty rad bike shop here that I got some good stuff at to finish up my bike upgrades for my triumphant return to Philly.
