Who's in on a ride from Roboto to Butler & 46th for that other ride that same night? Leave Roboto at 8:15? Would that give us enough time to get there for an 8:30 meetup with a 9p departure time?

Even if you lengthen the ride to take 42nd instead of 45th (the former's pavement is *much* better), it's still only about a five minute trip from Roboto to the B&G Club.

Shirts and buttons! We printed shirts in lots of colors, both unisex and femme-cut. Come at a reasonable hour to buy one as the quantity is limited. :-)

Grrr.... I may not be able to make it. Depends on how fast I. C. Bikes can either relace my wheel or install a new wheel set. At least 2 broken spokes in 24 hours... I think I just heard a 3rd one pop as I was getting of my bike. Anyway, if I can't make it I will be a Dippy at 5:30 with a donation... hopefully some honest person can deliver it for me?

I have a business-related mtg to attend but will try to stop-by before 10pm and contribute some $$ :)

@myddrin - I should be at Dippy by 5:30 and can relay your donation for you, if you are still bike-disabled.

@StuInMCandless -- Thanks. The spokes have been replaced, and there is a new wheel set on order.... Still debating what to do, but either way I'll you at 5:30.

Oscar Wilde says "Work is the curse of the drinking class." I won't be able to make it to the ride. I trust that you folks will be able to do the ride on this lovely day without me. See yinz later, maybe.

I also just got mugged by work... literally as I was about to walk out the door. Looks like I'll be missing it too.
