smeear(smeear) what about the high gate ride/drink?

That is too early for me. I cannot leave work before 6:30 :(

There can be riding involved... I need me a cold one after work today.

I will be leaving Blackfriars in about 30 minutes. seven nine five eight two eight 42 nine four. There ought to be beer and food in said ride, as I am both hungry and sober, none of which are good for my health.

Lost his license for DUI perhaps?

That does not stop anyone. You gotta keep up with your Paris Hilton gossip.

Take that back... not only is it in the US, it is in Montana. Holy shit! Seriously, the guy must be a recent immigrant.

Sheldon brown has a cheat on how to condition them fast so that they stop hurting your ass. I am debating that too, but am leaning towards no because I sometimes do park in the rain and when i got hit the only thing that got really scruffed was the saddle. I do need a new saddle because mine is too broad and when I sit on it properly it presses against the mucles on the inside and back of my legs.

No wonder he is so popular :)

If it is not raining around 6:30, I would be up for a ride and beer. I am near Blackfriars. Where are you?

Stef aaaah you're a tipycal 9to5'er...where am i gonna get the time to do all that, i like fixed gear bikes, that's all i own. No 21 gears jibba jabba. I'll do the Dynamo for the challenge.
but i'll ride as much as i can.

If I worked 9 to 5 they would drop me down to part-time.

Stef i know it mught sound stupid but try cross training for fitness, i think i'll get myself at the swimming pool or something like that just to improve my endurance performance, mycardiovascular work is covered.

I cross train like mad. I do curls with pints (for strength, mattress yoga (for exoticism), yawning (to stretch), and bellybutton lint picking (for concentration).

My idea of training is generally to just do it. It does nothing do increase my stamina, but it greatly increases your pain tolerance over time. I intend to do no training for the Dynamo, but will probably enter one Audax event between now and then. I will probably want to do it geared, since it looks like there is a fair amount of climbing. Is anyone else interested in sharing the pain between now and then? I think I’ll stick to 200 k until the dynamo, but will probably want to increase that afterwards.

Fixedwheelnut, any ones you recommend coming up?

I got one of those, and emailed back and forth for a couple of days asking that the guy send me the details of his bank account so that I could wire him money. It was very amusing because he kept trying to swindle me even though I obviously knew what his scheme was.

Hovis Brown nothing happened on the sixth of june last year, so i'm expecting to be equally disappointed tomorrow.

Wrong and wrong. You are just in the wrong country.

For tomorrow: http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s45/lopan666/777copy.jpg

In the 666, you could get a free tattoo of a bike with pentagram spokes in one of the checkpoints.

Messengers put it up, it was open to everyone for the same price and everyone had fun. It IS harping on a point, but if ya don't get the basic economics (the economics of money and of people too) then I am not going to explain.

velocity boy Really riding is just a euphemism for boozing. We all know why this forum is a success, everyone single one of you is a closet alcoholic.

Anyway, enough of this chatter, I need to ride.

Closet alcoholic? Speak for yourself. I have nothing to hide and will drunkenly crash into the bike of the first fucker who says I am sober.

good name... hipsters all over the world will swoon. So non-manhattan, so industrial.

No one is right all the time, but he probably fixed, built, rode and tinkered with more bikes than the entire mechanic staff of any bike shop in London (and possibly elsewhere). He is a good guy and is probably fun to have a beer with too. Sadly, he is no longer riding.

Took me getting hit 2x in a month.

I sat down with myself and told the idiot to his face that he better start riding defensively lest he run out of skin to scrape, or of whatever little brain he had.

Seems to have worked. I assume drivers will fuck up, and try to keep an eye out for a quick escape route. I still go fast (for me), take the lane and ride assertively, but I am a lot less aggressive and a lot less injured. In the end, it is not about who is right but about who is alive.

So, I am moving by bike, and google maps suggested that I take this route:

http://maps.google.com/maps?um=1&tab=wl&q=26%20Evershot%20Road%2C%20N43BB%20

Hovever, I know it would be suicide because of the hills, so I am thinking this:

Bear in mind that I will have a loaded Christiana bike, which even unloaded is not light. The elevation profile seems semi reasonable. Does anyone have any suggestions that would shave off the worst bits into kinder, gentler slopes?

And of course, if anyone is interested in a slow ride tomorrow laughing at me, I am happy to have company. I think it will take 2 trips.

velocity boy In need of lubrication, finally know what's happening re: wife and words like annulment, divorce, shipping, lawyer, separation all come to mind.

Would be good to meet people down the John Snow or something, knock back a few, and ride off into the night when I can no longer walk properly :)

Could be worse. You did get your Phils for cheap, right?

I think I might be watching football - Brazil is playing some little piddly european team tonight, and one of my mates from work invited me. If you are not hell bent on the idea of John Snow, y’all are welcome to come along.

I cannot make it too late tonight because I have to move tomorrow, so I am getting up early, picking up a cargo bike at Velorution, and getting on to my new Finsbury Park home.

Wait, this is about bikes?

Shit, no wonder anyone I contacted here would go on a date with me... that explains the wird profiles without boob pictures.

Almost off work. I work at blackfriars, and will be moseying towards Willesdaen Gree, if anyone wants to intecerpt me and make me go riding and drinking beer zero seven nine five eight two eight four two nine four (by the way, if anyone crank calls, at least make it hot and sexy).

Not a lot of riding intimidates me.

This does. Hats off. I hope I can do it one day.
