Hey I hope you do not mind. I added this to Stumble upon. (its a Firefox add on).

hey, did you see the article in the NYT today entitled, "Moving Targets"? Here is the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/fashion/10bikewars.html?ref=fashion&pagewanted=all

Anyway, it is a good read and the members might be interested... don't know how to directly link it myself...

great site, great idea. . . very happy i found it and will be telling alot of people about it. thank you !

it was really great. but there was a bit of drama ill have to catch you up on...but over all it was a blast and i learned a ton! lets catch up this weekend...

hey you..I finally got my clipless bike pedals installed.
A little nervous to get out there and ride.. ha. If I have time I may join you to watch all the sexy bikes for the tri.

It was great meeting you and I'm really happy you put this site together. I'm really excited to try some of the poted rides.

well, we began in portland and rode to an organic farm where we learned about the benefits of organic farming (care of the earth, workers, and our bodies via non-toxic food). then we road to another smaller organic farm that was just a couple growing food and selling it at the farmers market. at this farm we learned all about how to raise chickens and how to grow just about anything (really freaking cool). then we road on to an intentional community were they were trying live entirely sustainably (cob and straw bail housing, grey water systems, and solar water heaters) and grow all their own food and poultry. then we road into Eugene our last day and learned all about this organization they have there called the Center for Appropriate Transportation which was really cool. It is basically an all in one bikers resource. people can go there and rent space to work on their bikes with or without the help of a mechanic who works there, buy new or used parts, and use their library. some kids even go there for high school instead of attending public school (if they were having trouble in school). also they also costume make a million different bike trailers. it was an awesome idea and they carried it out well. and our last stop in Eugene was bike friday, where we got a tour of the manufacturing area, and test rode a bunch of there bikes. it was awesome learned a ton, bike bunch and fell in love with Oregon!

p.s just got a new bike today! and I want to do the DIY Century on it!

Leah, so happy I joined your site! Will you be at the alt late ride fri night?

Ok so, we should do it then (ride on IPP to Wheaton). I'll come up with a date and submit it for your approval. NACCCs are this weekend, and I'm thinking about doing them...but not 100% certain yet.

We had a blast...nice change a pace from crit racing..
It was great to meet you

I actually crewed LifeCycle in '07. I was on a gear truck. My sister and I did the Minneapolis to Chicago AIDS ride in '98 and '99. These days I don't go much past 30 miles. Grad school (nursing) keeps me busier than I've ever been.

I am loving all these new things to do on chainlink. Especially the slideshow when you upload photos to the photobin.

Nice meeting you all on thursday keep riding

-matt

u do that metric century today? My roomate said she say a couple hundred bikers going down Halstead just now... do u know anything that's going on today?

Nice meeting you today. Thanks for getting me involved in the chainlink. L'shana tova.

thank you for the chainlink! just what we needed!

Great meeting you as well Leah! ;-) See ya at the next ride! ;-)

when are we going to ride again?

Leah,
Same.
I love the site!
Can you send your email ?

Thanks, it was amazing. My trip lasted 29 days but I would say that I rode 22 or 23 days. Take a look at my journal: crazyguyonabike.com/doc/goldhorizon

Sorry, we lived in the Walloon/French part of the country so i don't think i can speak to you.

We were in Liege, my dad was a prof. on sabbatical. It was a long time ago ('73-'74) but very formative for me.

I remember it was during the energy crisis and for about a month driving was banned on Sundays, so everyone just biked or walked on the major streets.

Thanks Leah! ;-) I'm pretty proud! ;-)

Hey, were you in Yojimbo's yesterday looking at a brown Lager SE? I've never met you..but I'm about 95% sure it was you.

Hey Leah, is there a bar night this Thursday? Hope so!

did you still want the drop bars? i can bring them to the hidden shamrock on thursday if you do. :)

Darn spanking!

Hi Leah! Hope you are well and all with the wild snow. Montrose is this Sunday for Cyclocross. I'll be there in orange cheering on Team Tati prolly from 11-12 or so. Drop me a line if you want to meets up!

Hi Leah, Ditto!
Lee

Likewise! Will definitely see you around!

Sure ;-) Since i got hurt i've been on here almost all day...might as well be productive! ;-) Can't wait to ride again. ;-(

3 more weeks? I have physical therapy for 4 to 6 and since balance on ice is already an issue i don't wanna stress my shoulder more then needed. ;-(

What time in the morning does Bagel Run start?

Too bad you couldn't make it tonight. The race meeting was fun. Maybe I'll see you Thursday.
