magley64 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 It's gonna be gettin' fairly cold by then tootemps will be a factor, not that I can't handle the below zero rides, but it does suck some of the fun out.

magley64 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 took a quick ride uptown to prepare for tomorrow. bike feels good, no weird noises, handles fine.my gear is up to the task, with the possible weak point of my gloves. definitely could use some better ones, possibly electric.this will probably be the last ride of the year, as I don't see the tire holding up too much longer, and i'm not planning on buying another one this year. Also the weather is getting pretty crappy.got a parking coupon for delta street southwest. $8 2 blocks away, not bad. Probably will leave early to include some "touristy stuff" to this trip.

I imagine there were people waiting since early morning if not from the night before. Edited November 1, 2010 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I like how the press compares this as a "polar opposite" to beck's rally, when in all honestly I seen it more as a parody of it.Sure the message was different, but it wasn't a "liberal" version of beck's rally, it was a "sane" version. people having fun, in support of reasonable dicourse regarding the problems we face today. Without getting too political, taking ourselves too seriously, or getting irate with one another, we can accomplish great things.My favorite part was the magnifying glass analogy, Or they can use that magnifying glass to light ants on fire, and then perhaps host a week of shows on the dangerous, unexpected flaming ants epidemic.
