Chicago Ride before winter?

[MegamoMidwest]

If I were to organize one final big chicago ride before the winter completely sets in who would be in? the date is up in the air, but sometime before the 17th of december. whos interested?

-Paul

[modtire]

I'm down Paul.

After that perhaps we can start riding in Pat's barn again as winter slams home.

[MegamoMidwest]

peter? cool when do you want to head down? lets get this party started!

-Paul

[RomanC]

Maybe I can come down there. Just pick a date and I'll see what's up with my schedule.

[MegamoMidwest]

down there? isnt it up for you? Ill pick a date that works with you and Duncan.

[RomanC]

Duncan and I are prob riding tomorrow in Purdue if he can get his bike fixed. As far as chicago goes I might be able to go after the 13th or this month.

[ilneff]

dec. 13th isn't that a monday? I thnk I could make it over for that. I'd like to ride some time. just set a date paul. (perferably not a saturday)

[MegamoMidwest]

ok I will get this figured out. people better show cause theres gonna be photos and video and stuff and its gonna be great. I will set a date tomorrow, and get lots of people and stuff to go. you'd better have comma's in the number of excuses you'd need to miss this ride! ok maybe not but it will be fun! (and really cold, and hopefully not snowy)

[sammy]

This coming weekend looks like some nasty weather!

I have an exam to take care off on the 13th so I got to study for that; otherwise the "comp" sounds like a fun idea. But I should be able to do the Chicago provided it is after the 13th and it is not raining that day or way below freezing.

[sammy]

Well, Poop!

Roman, I bought a 5.0 frame, I need the brackets for the maguras four bolt brakes.
Were would you suggest I buy them? And also, what size and brand of bottom bracket do you prefer.

sam

[RomanC]

I think webcyclery or trialsin should have them. I guess the Truvative team DH gigapipe 128mm BB is pretty popular.

[sammy]

Thanks, Roman.

I still would like to see the badlands!

sam

[RomanC]

We could do that this week. before the weekend or next week.

[sammy]

I think this week sounds good! Say anyday after tomorrow?
I'm just going to bring a bike, no moto!

sam

[RomanC]

I guess Thursday or Friday should work.

[sammy]

You call the day Roman, 9 or 10 in the morning works best for me, I'm unemployed and not looking for a job right now, so I'm loose with my time!:bigthumb:
Is this place have any restraunts near by? preferably Mexicano.

Sounds like you won the lottery :) How about Thursday at 11 or so? The weather should be nice.

[sammy]

Lottery winnings would be nice, But no I just work a small seasonal job and I'm finnished as of last weekend.

Thursday at 11 works great for me, I'll see ya there.

sam

[RomanC]

Do you want to meet up by the signup place?

[sammy]

If you think thats best, then thats O.K. with me, I'll get directions from there web site.
Is there anyone else that would possibly make it? Isacc Neff can not make it, I'm sure, he's been put in prison for to many speeding tickets in his sports car.

This will be great Roman, will have a huge practice session, then when we take breaks I can tell you long winded stories of how we use to ride motorcycles and
bicycles when I was young! :barf:


sam

[RomanC]

You can reach me at 301-471-3238 if you have questions about how to get there. Sucks for Isacc though. What sort of sports car does he have?

[sammy]

German made, very fast!


sam

[trialser]

Hey
The barn has changed a bit. We put the trampoline back up so that cut about half the space. Still some good stuff. We could go ride at the shed across the field that is a lot bigger and could have some great lines. Im up for a ride any time!

Hey Sammy
Didnt see you at ohio. What happened? It rained tons on my 3rd loop saturday and then all night. Then sunday preaty muddy. Went 1-2....highest 1st loops of anyone both days
Are you planning on having another event somewhere like the one in warsaw? That was a great time and hope you will.
pat

[sammy]

Hey, Pat.

You sure did a great job riding this year Pat!
I have to many excuses to list for not making it to Ohio, I heard it was a muddy mess.
Did you see Blaine Heppener their, he had bought a stock monty trials bike the last I heard.
Hey, I seen the results from the November TI event, Was that your dad riding against you and your brothers?

Yes, I would like to put on a couple of events for 2005, Warsaw for sure if the property owner is OK with it and possibly Badlands and my place.
I should of had one here like Dec.18 but I think its to late of a notice, no one would show.
I bought a Pure back in Aug. and have never really ridden it, today I got my brakes dialed in and I'm going to start riding, it seems nice.

Keep your feet on the pegs!

sam

[dkoppric]

i dont check this site enough, but if theres a group ride in chicago while im back in town i have no excuse of missing it. oh yea, were riding purdue hardcore for a documentary tomorrrow if anyone is in the area

[ilneff]

So you guys are going to ride tomorrow at badlands?
I think I could make it...
Works pretty slow so I can usually get a day off when I want.
Speeding tickets? just warrnings... haha.

[RomanC]

Yeah badlands tomorrow. Sam and I are giong to be there. Duncan has classes in the morning. Although he said he could be there at 3 or so. (i have to leave before than though)
