Learned a lot......never make a left turn Sorry Vicki (XC204's Wife)
Thanks to everyone who came out to ride
I had a blast with all of you!
big shout out to bikeriderx for making the 100mile drive in from Benton Harbor mi
and all the Indiana guys who came in!
Hope to see you all in 2011! :mrgreen:
The first thing i will do next year is take a group photo with bikes and riders
Started in March Just the Three of us
Had a great turn out in April
In May we started on the Lakefront (man it was cold!)
Gary aka XC204
Outside the Ale House... :wink:
The guy in the 18 shirt stepped out in front of ZIH (Brian ) brake strap arm went for a spin around
we fixed it with zip ties and electrical tape :roll: :wink:
Bikes parked in front of Old Town Ale House.....some cool crazy art in that place :shock: :roll: :mrgreen:

Just Three of us for June...Still a good time
July didn't happen
But August was a Blast! Perfect weather! hot and sunny. The three of us XC204,bikeriderx.and myself had a great day on the Lakefront!
XC204, BikeriderX,& MySelf But what a great time we HAD!!!
A couple of RRBO5 bikes
Grandpa Rockhopper Looks even better in person!
Bikeriderx.......Cool looking Schwinn! with 27" front and flat bars
We rode the Lakefront
Randy (Bikeriderx) Timed his Flat tire (valve stem blew off) just perfect.....
Cool Fixie Guy who works the bike repair stand at the beach loved are bikes
"Is this some kind of werid subculture thing?"
I think BikeriderX has some good pics of him riding Blue-X
xc204 & Skipton
September was COLD! and windy
Thanks to everyone who came out! :lol:
Highridah and crew,bikeriderx,Markm, oldgreaser,XC204
if your rear hub locks up on a group ride and sends everyone home :roll:
and your wife picks you and your bike up in the Minivan :roll: :? not cool :roll: :wink:
I know the Twisted Spoke is around here someplace....Just let me get my bearings!"
I especially enjoyed the impromtu hub maintenence seminar hosted by skipton right there on the sidewalk.
Pre-ride meet n' greet:
Vic's bike and Highridah's gf, Maggie looking very tough! (turns out she's a sweetheart! )
Highridah's burrito built just for this occasion:
Vic's lowrider:
Vic:
Markm's ride:
Vic's bike was quite popular for try-outs:
oldgreaser's bike:
oldgreaser:
xc204's bike:
Various riding 'back-shots' :roll: :
The beginning of (the end) of skipton's rear hub 'issues'
R.I.P. hub:
BTW.....
I think I figured out why my hub froze.......:shock: :roll:
October didn't happen...my fault :shock: :roll:
But we did get together in November
had a real good time in the Twisted Spoke hanging out and talking bikes
got a little ride in with Oldgreaser's and Xc204
Twisted Spoke
Gary had A chain issue on the way over to Twisted Spoke
Oldgreaser's cool new drive train & MonStar's cool Schwinn in front of it
Hanging out
XC204 scooter kicked his bike a mile or two :roll: to the closest bike shop
Copenhagen bikes on Milwaukee Ave....they sell high end European style bikes
The guy working the shop (don't remember his name :roll: ) could not have been nicer
and was very impressed with Gary's Grandpa Rock Hopper
some of the stuff at Copenhagen bikes.....
Thanks again to everyone who came out to be a part of a ride!!!!!!
March will be here before you know it! hope to see you then!!!!!!
