(ctrl f, round 6).

bike around the internet as much as i do, and you don't forget tattoos like that.

shame, son. i'm looking at you, fgncl. i really needed that handle for my 'fat girls of newcastle' gang.

didn't think it was worthy of a brand new thread, but olympic tickets go on sale next week. might be worth hoarding cheap seats for an event or two- you have a year and a half to figure out logistics.

odd snaps of polo and ncl.
thanks for having me, had a great time.
this time next year?

large chicken burrito. it was really impressive and so filling i was a bit dizzy in the sun a half hour after. I think they're going to be a quayside market fixture, it wasn't a special occasion or anything. New and improved mexican sunday!

it's been a Really big day.

sigh. short girl dibs, two dibs late, but holding out hope.

Hey Leigh! i was in the same position last january, and moved to ncl for a year- you're going to love it.
If you need an american-lady opinion, or help sorting out decent places to live/areas to look, i'm happy to help (by satellite, not in ncl anymore, sadly).

housing-wise, one thing i wish i knew earlier in the game is that heaton is actually a pretty comfy/residential area to live at a fraction of prices right Inside the city, and its a really easy/flat/straight ride into town. closer to a huge/cheaper grocery store, near parks, ouseburn, two bike shops, etc..

i chickened out on the research, and moved straight to the centre of town for safety/naievetes sake (which was an awesome apartment), but my heart is still in byker/heaton.

also, the kids are dangerous. lived in west philly for 3 years and never ran into quite so many bold, feral, truant kids as i did in the byker metro station.

if it had a rizla sticker on the seat tube, that'd be rob cairns.

probably around 1:30,
when you jumped onto the pavement on grainger, grazed by me with drop bars sticking out of your bag, threatening to impale pavement grannies.

also, you didnt respond to my many shouts, making me look like a devastated jilted bike lover somewhere on grainger st around 1:30 pm. thanks, dick.

aware of a few fixed riders doing this

p-p-p-p-party at my place, after your sunday ride.
if i skip the ride itself, its because i'm cooking something rad.
so if you're not too knackered, try to wrap up at mnmt?

seen quicksilver, its pretty awesome. Kevin bacon! definitely a scene-precursor.. just a few funny parts where someone in the sound effects department decided to Add free-wheel noises when people were riding fixed... im not opposed to buying that one.

breaking away is the other classic, but quicksilver is more satisfying. maybe going to have to be a three film festival.

am i the only one who hasn't seen the flying scotsman?
probs going to pick it up from hmv tomorrow, viewing party in the near future, for anyone as curious as i am.

power grips come in XL. my friend who wore big boots/sneakers swore by them, by the nature of the design, they'll rip eventually (but you can see it coming in time to get a new set).

this sunday. in addition to being a burrito sunday, is going to be the longest day of the year. i'd like to spend a good portion of it being reckless/on my bike. Anyone else free or have a plan of attack?

bike solstice, plz.

take your bike
cmwc is in tokyo this september, (but i heard all the partying is in kyoto, the week before it). orrrr. save up and get a custom frame made by panasonic in osaka.

here

nothing for sale at the moment though.

congrats everyone. sounded like a good time by everyone.

offer stands, but with severely limited amenities-
don't have very luxurious/complete bedding for the futons,
and as of yet, don't have gas for cooking (out of town, failed to set it up beforehand). spot is pretty accessible to all sorts of food.

the others might know where you'll find good pasta, in case i'm still without primitive cooking amenities at that point

everything else is alright, i think.

likewise. two futons in newcastle, but i won't be back in town till the second half of the month

you're doing it wrong. you get up from the wreck and hobble down to the bar to recount the glorious wreck until someone buys you a drink.

yesterday was a pretty eventful hunt.

blackish/grey fuji track with risers, leaning against ellison C of northumbria.

some guy with a printed rapha cap (on foot around monument).

and for 100 where's-waldo points, Newcastle's Only bike courier, in the park around 3pm yesterday

burrito sunday summons.
still split on whether i'm riding or not, but you'll find me under the green awning, if the truck shows up tomorrow.
