    Congrats on the new bike Carni. I hope to make a ride one of these days/nights.

    Embereye..The Mr. & Mrs. at Mr. C's cycles in Sunset Park are very helpful and at Roy's (Sheepshead Bay area) they will take time to make sure the bike fits you properly.

    I'm going to want to start doing this more often, so there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to join.
    Do it earlier in the day (7PM?) so those of us who have to get up at ungodly hours can join!

    I got mine at Bicycle Habitat on Lafayette in Soho and I liked the place a lot.

    MB- Earlier is too hot and too crowded! We already have been going much earlier than the original midnight rides (still the best time IMO).

    I think Daver and I will go there, but we'll be on the Big Lawn (or whatever its called) to watch the meteor shower.

    Crappus maximus, I replied 30 minutes ago that I would come along (evidently that went nowhere) and now I can't do it. 10pm would work better for me. Nevermind, I'll join you tomorrow. That's a promise.

    Grrrr....the weather doesn't look good. I really want to go tonight though.

    yes, we will see how the weather looks at around 8:30, then decide whether 9 or 10 is a good idea.

    ...or weather to skip the ride and just go get a beer

    It's the new place in Fort Greene I think, a beer garden.

    Is that for after the ride? Before might seriously hamper our motivation.

    I'm riding or I'm not coming out. Not sure what happens afterwards.

    Good times yet again, even if Christina and Mrs. Whynot bailed on the drinks afterward. I'm glad I was able to convince Mougar to come out. Now if I can only get Mrs. C to come biking with us...
