Yeah, I found the glass thing very ignorant; I think that should be enforced next year.

With the number of wipe-outs I witnessed a broken bottle in the middle of the street could have taken things from bad to worse in a hurry.

No one wants glass in their twinkie.

Are you kidding me? Glass bottles on a bike ride??? Being someone that rides on tubulars rather frequently I'll chalk this up as reason number five.

I did the ride in 2007, and had a blast. I didn't go this year because of the weather, but the real reason was that I didn't want to ride home alone to Rogers Park afterwards, since no one I knew seemed into it this year. That's all.

Is that okay.

We have a team of trained counselors standing by to provide advice and reassurance, but unfortunately they're all at lunch right now.

Critical Feelings, second monday of every month. Lots of injuries incurring from attempting to hug while riding, still working out some of the kinks.

Don't listen to her, Don't let people push you around, say exactly what you want to say and how you want to say it. This place has been polluted for a long time anyway, and I am glad I can always piss someone off no matter what I say or how I say it. It is a sign of greatness.

I think the passive-aggressiveness is starting to pollute the chainlink.

Out of town for a family reunion to see my elderly relatives before they all die. Sorry that reason wasn't good enough for you.

Well despite Aaron ,actual results have occurred while I am at work.

Jack, I drive a truck for a living (oddly it uses gas too - but I'd be happier if it had a hydrogen fuel cell). As i've said for the umpteenth time there is more than one reason for the ride. How about just plain old visiblity. Are you impervious to being struck by a car? I'm not and i want to show that. Also for the millionth time no one has to ride naked. There are a ton of different ways to participate and a lot of them include wearing clothes!

To the peeps that said it's not a competion, again. Read the thread. I never said it was. I asked a question. Why can Portland get numbers but we can't? And there were some good answers but most seemed to make fun of Portland. My view point would be that the crackpots over there the anarchists and the hippies and the crusties GOT OFF THEIR COLECTIVE ASSES! Fuck yeah for them. Makes me feel like i live in a lazy, apathetic city.

For Finch, that's great input as far as riding home alone. There were many people from Rogers Park at the ride. Perhaps that is something that can be added to the WNBR-C website. "Find a friend to ride with". Thanks for that! :-)

For Doug, you are 100% correct. The way Oz park was left is a disgrace. And it's an easy solve that I already noted for myself for next year. The Security crew on the sides will have trash bags. I'll buy a box and hand 'em out. We're already there. Why not? Also for glass, sadly it's tough to regulate every idiot but we can add that to the security briefing at the beginning. and maybe to the site as well. And we can post signs at the entrance.

For Jenn whose family is gonna die, would you have come if you weren't outta town?

Glen, See ya next year! ;-)

For the dude in the bear suit. If you wanna look at pics I'm sure you can find the website. If you don't come on the ride I think you are fat or have issues or both. You should embrace who you are and get out there. There were people of every shape and size. Some painted some not some clothed most not. Glad you are working hard to lose weight and ride your bike. There is nothing wrong with what you got unless you think so and staying home says you think there is something wrong. Face your demons dude!

And for those that wanna call me a troll or say that I sound like a jerk. I am a jerk. ;-) But I'm an active jerk. I want things to be better, and will get in people's faces. If i didn't i wouldn't be me. Just like you sitting there being lazy makes you, you!

Do I detect an air of finality to the preceding post?
