5/17 Thurs night bicycle ride / crawl.

[wickerman777]

Once again we will be meeting at Ziet between 7 and 8pm to set off on our weekly bicycle ride. This weeks ride will be slightly longer than normal but relatively tame. The hill going up to Market from Ziet should be the steepest one but there will be gradual ascents throughout. I've signed up with this mapping site so the routes will be slightly more definitive now. You can see ahead of time exactly what you are getting yourself into as the map even shows elevation changes. For instance on this weeks map the big elevation spike right at the start is the hill from Ziet to Market. Thats the worst of what you will be facing this week and I know most of you have already conquered that hill numerous times. So buck up, get your shit together and meet us this Thursday...

Where: Ziet

When: 5/17 Thurs, between 7 and 8 pm (try to show as early as possible people)

Who: You stupid and anyone you wish to bring

Why?: Why not.

[wickerman777]

Sorry guys I might not make it as I am still trying to repair my bike after that old guy in Berkely ran over it. I was totally trying to get out of the way too.

[yama-emma]

[yama-emma]

i am thinking one of these days i am going to have to replace the gears on my bike... or get a new bike.
thsi clickety-clackety bullshit is driving me nuts. :x

[auntiebling]

last week your machine sounded like the chain needs oil. i was going to say somthing but i got distracted by a beverage.

[yama-emma]

^^ can anyone bring along some oil? or just post what kind of oil you use on yer bikes and i'll go buy my own.

how often do u need to oil the chain? :confused it's been oiled twice in the last month.

[Calyel]

oh-oh, I think I need to oil my chain :laughing

[auntiebling]

i'll bring some, anything is better than nothing.

i think i have chain wax, from my motorcycle, on mine at the moment. frequency depends on usage, of course

[wickerman777]

It's gonna be cold, foggy, and windy out geary way tonight. Everyone should bring a hoodie or similar so I don't have to listen to all of you complaining :p

See you at Ziet :x (Frankie:twofinger )

Nice BMW.
Oh yeah and that one does not qualify as a "single-speed no-brand components" any more. ;) Like you said in a post 3 weeks ago.

Awesome map and a pretty nice route, btw.

Y-Emma : Tri-Flow is one example of "bicycle oil" they have it in bike shops or REI

(me?: sorry cannot do tonight :( perhaps next week, soon)

[MrCrash]

I may try to catch up to you guys, but I'll probably be running late since I have to grab my bike first. Can someone PM me a contact number, just to make sure I don't cruise on past?

+1 on the Tri Flow

[DeathB4mullets]

sorry i missed this one. might make it next week.


on my expensive bike with name-brand components. haters. shheeessshh.

[Factor5]

I use chain lube on my bicycle is that okay, or overkill?

[Factor5]

PS. If your chain is nice and shiny, oil it! A dirty, black, lubed-up chain means you're good to go.

a dirty, black, oily chain means you aren't cleaning the dirt off before oiling it thus letting the grit do maximim damage.

shiny and oily = good to go

i had tri-flo last night, but again didn't remember sufficiently to bust it out. emma is too fast anyway, imma put sand on your chain :teeth

[yama-emma]

haha. don't worry. i got slowed down by the end of the ride... by some ASS running a red light.

the bowls of booze prolly didn't do much to help my balance, so my violent swerve to avoid him left me chewing on the tarmac. :cry

[MrCrash]

That was fun!

is it me? or did Jeremy steal some 8 year old's t-shirt?

[wickerman777]

Actually funny that you mention it. Last week there was this whiny little kid who showed up on his bling bling carbon fiber bike with his fancy clickety clack riding shoes who couldn't lock his precious bike up and didn't want to ride any hills and didn't like the route I planned or the bars I picked and...

I think I stole it from him:twofinger
