Bicycubs Radiacoons!!! I was thinking once it got warmer, making it something that happens more often.... whatta ya think?
We owe it to ourselves!

kill it, handbone.
looks like a good route... somebody's obviously excited about their new GEARS ;)
...not a fan of the trek through coyote central though... we'll see how my anxiety's doing tomorrow.

your anxiety will be fine. dont use it as a crutch, use it as something to help you get faster (and get out of the park quicker than anyone else).
id bring my road bike on thursday but i think i want to spin spin spin.

Make a different route then... I've been shooting for 5 days strait and can't make one, so I pulled one of Criag's...
Post one up Jon, I'll put it on (that's my rhyme for the day!)
BTW, you want those bars and stem still?

I think I actually went on that one- fun route, but I ended up taking the train home. Would it be totally lame to take Cahuenga and meet ya'll on the other side?

Hey everyone looks like you want to do a Silo run.
Can the fixies handle the climb? Kinda Steep.
Otherwise I suggested to Lee doing a Beach run over Sepuveda to
Santa Monica pier and back? It's about a 35 miles round trip.
Or we could do the China Town thing.
@junes
@robin swabin
Are you guys going to show?
Lots of big talk about how fast you are on Warriors tread.
Easy to do when your riding with total rookies.
Are you afraid you will get your asses handed to you by old guys ?

heres my dilemma, i get up at 5 every morning, and need my sleep because i dont come home til 8 ish.
now wylie has no excuse being that he is unemployed or only working part time.
the past 2 weeks, i've made it home, and find myself wayyy to tired to make it back out.
btw craig, a couple of us are doing the LA Circuit race on the 29th, its a 16 mi course for cat 5 what do you think
_iJunes03.5.09 - 12:16 pm
reply
isn't 47 miles a little much for a Thursday night? Some of us have to wake up early to go to work...
I liked the route Lee posted originally... so what if it's been done already? Haven't we pretty much done every part of this city already? What's wrong with redoing a classic?
canadienne03.5.09 - 12:24 pm

yeah i like the original posted route pretty anxious to ride tonight either way havnt ben with the bicykillers in awhile
fatpateatsfood03.5.09 - 8:14 pm

I like the original route as well, but only because I'm planning on dropping at White Oak, and I'd rather be riding with you guys when I go out there.
than again, my bicycle is not being cooperative, so I may not make it out at all :(

Ride report, 3/6/09
Good ride last night.
The 5 surviviors including me kept a smooth pace
One mechanical / flat
@RBI ? droped ? thought you said the ride was slow ?
@mitch riding strong and smooth / most improved rider award.
@everyone who got droped and made the regroup via shortcut,
good job. don't give up.
@ sara if your having bike trouble hit me up, got lots of spare parts.
Dedicated81803.6.09 - 12:23 pm

Sounds like ya'll had fun last night... I miss riding with you guys.
It was just all of the normal wear and tear bike trouble at once- 3 failed inner tube patches, a squeaky hub, and a frighteningly creaky bottom bracket. All simple fixes, just not when I'm about to leave the house. Thanks for the offer though.
danya03.6.09 - 12:38 pm

mitched learned it at caturday!
i'll have to agree, mitch is one of the younger riders i feel comfortable riding with.

RBI wasn't dropped, he just didn't feel like climbing that last hill fixed, so he took the red line back into the valley.

reply
@candeline
a good story he told you.
Actually he was droped twice, once in the park, and the second time on sunset after he pushed to hard up a hill.
RBI next time bring gears.
Dedicated81803.6.09 - 1:42 pm
reply
i was going to cut left and go home when we passed victory, so i slowed down, but then i convinced myself to keep going. i got on the redline at sunset and vermont after eating a donut at tangs. that guy with the trek softride frame (or whatever you want to call it) was making a bunch of noise like his bike was going to fall apart. gears make me nervous because i cant slow down with my legs.
ruinedbyidiots03.6.09 - 2:28 pm
reply
The guy with the softride is Bob I think...
Glad he made it out! And yeah, his bike does make a lot o' noise!
So, I'm itching to ride, anyone wanna do a Bicykillers weekend edition that isn't quite a caturday?

I've been on rides with the Y-Foil guy (i wish i could remember your name) on and off for at least 6 months. it's always made that noise but it's survived this long so...

I don't remember seeing anything about this ride being specifically designed for you. Cool it with your demands, it's not like you're gonna show up anyway!

I'll be there.
In all seriousness, when you have a baby on the way and a job you want to keep, it's tough to turn down work to go riding. ANYTIME I can be there, I'm there. I've got a new bike too, so it's killing me not being able to make it out!

Dedicated81803.13.09 - 12:26 pm

Craig, We did not realize that you were not in our group for a while. I was in the back with Lee and I thought you were in the front group. When I pulled up and noticed that you were not there, I asked, "Where is Craig." One of the fixie guys told us that the guys with the TriSpokes took off and is way up ahead. We thought you were ahead of us for a long time.
The reason I ran that red light was becasue we raced up to the light thinking we could make it and I did not want to slam on my brakes and have a fixie rear end me. I had a fixie run into me a few weeks ago. You were there. Remember.
Anyways, we did not intentionally leave you, but you did get infront of the group and slam on your brake. That was not cool.
illy03.13.09 - 3:38 pm
reply
Brake check ?
just figured I would ride stupid like you guys
Lucky no one got hit with the multiple red light fuck ups
Dedicated81803.13.09 - 4:00 pm
reply
what's stupid was getting all butt hurt over it. you're the kind of guy who rides off on his own when we stop to regroup, and is off doing his own thing half the ride anyway. How the fuck should we know you went to piss in an alley and can't catch back up?
Brake checking me was
Not
Cool
As for running lights, you are responsible for your own safety when you do it. Ilya made one bad call last night but its no reason to bitch and moan

Haha. Peace, love, and bicycles, man.
Btw, Craig- I have an old Shimano 105 9sp hub. Problem is, I don't have a cassette/shifter to match. In the interest of me getting gears, is there anything you could do to help?
danya03.13.09 - 5:18 pm
reply
105 9 speed can't be that old.
shifters are expensive, cassettes are like 30 bucks.
you're better off going downtube, and get the remaining setup for like 50-60 brand new.
evan from metropolis was selling a pair of tiagra shifters for cheap, but after i stalled and he found out how much they were worth, well. yeah....
_iJunes03.13.09 - 6:25 pm
reply
@sara
what exactly do you need? or trying to do ?
Are you thinking of putting gears on your Pugeot ?
If so do you have only a hub? no wheel ?
you will also need a ft gear set up as well, as your chain will be prone to falling off with out a ft derailuer.
are you looking for downtube shifters or bar mounted ?

No, I've got a Cannondale in the works at the Kitchen. The hub's in a wheel (the first one I built, so I'm rather attached to it). Junu, I don't think I can use downtube shifters, I broke the skewer to attach them accidentally. I have just about everything else I need for the bike. The only reason I'm not using those from the Kitchen is I'm worried about spacing compatibility.

they have clamps for downtubes without the braze on.
