Chicago bike spring break
My bike & I will be in Chicago all next week for spring break. I'll be at Tour da Chicago Stage 4 on Sunday, and if anyone is up for a ride during the week that would be awesome.

I'm down for that. I'm surprised they're not showing Quicksilver...

Hmm, I just watched some of Breaking Away while on a trainer. Don't tell anyone.
I may or may not be at the tour. And I may be up for some riding during the week, although it would have to be in the evening. Is that sufficiently noncommittal?

We're saving some snow on the streets to make you feel "at home"!
See you soon!

That's all the experience I have had with Chicago and it was enough for me.

DCC movie party at my place. I may as well get this space well used since I'm moving out soon enough anyhow (into an even bigger apartment - loft style baby!) and my roommate will be in Poland. Who's up for next weekend?

I'll be back in yo hood next weekend (19-20) for more big city fixie excursions. Last time wasn't enough! And since it'll be the spring equinox I'll stuff my new phat piece of luggage with some real spring weather since y'all seem in need of some assistance.

I've got a copy of Breaking Away. Who owns Quicksilver? Triplets of Belleville? Rad? Any of the slew of messenger documentaries that no one can ever get a hold of?
