The N.S.C.M. group is different then this group.( Even thought we ride on the North Side, But than again anything North of Madison is called North.

I did have a route ! !! But due to a family emergency I had called Hector at 5:20pm. To let him know that I might be 1 hour behind. I wasn't that far behind. But the point is when something comes up you just can't help it.


Know 2nd comment! !!

I agree with you to an extend on riding. Like Hector said when it's cold out we only do routes 10 miles or under that.

In the summer time I do map routes 15-20 miles. I map & ride all of our N.S.C.M. before that day. Don't get me wrong that winter I don't map & route it, Because I do.

3nd comment ! !

I do agree that the beer stops are out of control lately . That if you want to drink that's fine, But PLEASE get your beer, whatever before or just wait til we hit our ending point. Which I usually find nice spots with beer & food. I don't drink, But I do eat and I try my hardest to keep people happy & bring there friends out on these rides. I would like that people come all over to this ride & talk about it for days how much fun that they had. I don't get payed for this . It's just something that I enjoy is seeing more & more bicycles on the streets in local neighborhoods . Last year we would go down the side streets & the kids would come out & Hi five us & cheer it was great. Sometime we ever talked other riders into joining us & they loved it.

So I'm SORRY for having a family Emergency & that the ride wasn't what it was turned out to be. I did put a lot all time & energy on that ride. I myself was very disappointed that it when the way it did.

I do put a lot of time in this N.S.C.M. Ride. I don't want it to become like C.C.M. Last year when Hector & I took over this or control whatever you want to call it. We started with 20 riders if that at times, And at the end of summer we had 70+ riders! !! In that was 2 trailers with sound, and 1 Happy ~ Friday trailer, 1 kids trailer with 2 kids in it. This is what I'm trying to develop is more families and singles as well.

I wouldn't want it to be a regular thing but the couple of stops before the final destination was fun this last mass.

Hector: and Buddaa38
When did you tell anyone this?
Is it posted on thechainlink.org event anywhere during those winter rides? How about on the bikewinter.org chicago calender?
Did you announce it at the March 12 ride?
Did you tell anyone?

Lets have a little honesty here please; if the ride was canceled for the winter months and in it's place you guys put a "short bar hop" night because you and your friends are too cold during the winter; then that is ok with me. Just say so. It is called honesty. I respect that.
But now you can not claim that you are "BikeWinter" people.
Nor should you state that this is a "BikeWinter" event.
You guys are not "BikeWinter"
I remember standing at the Lincoln statue in the fall 2009 and you 2 guys told me and about 30 other people that you ride all winter long. It is not much of a problem. You brought those special socks to show and pass around, remember? The special boots you passed around to show, remember? Just dress for it. bla bla bla Those were just words right?

Does anyone understand the concept of consensus?
It is the reason for arriving to a RIDE at 6:30. and then leave at 7PM.
It is not right when a clique of riders with there own secret agenda of bar hopping shows up late and then tries to get everyone to follow.

Can someone please show me how I am wrong about all this stuff.

Horseshoe Lounge sounds cool. Where is the ride ending?

Comment by Todd Allen on March 9, 2010 at 6:46pm

Duppie, if only it was "Acoustic Motortrike" it would be perfect. But close enough. And thanks all for the other suggestions. I'll be hunting them down tomorrow.

If anybody has some favorite Irish tracks you can bring them on your own digital music players and I can put them on before or after the ride. Or email me the tracks, speedebikes at gmail dot com and I'll put them in my mix.
