If you’re left with any questions contact thursdaynight.fixed@gmail.com or ask on this post.

thanks, so Mon. instead of Thurs?

tyler should just register all of the nights of the week .fixed@gmail.com as a contigency.

I have 99 invites left.

I can hook you up.

thursday nights could be too messy because of bandshell shows,
so monday nights are the alternative? damn, that's my recovery day...

We had wanted to do it on Thursday nights but the park is extremely busy with the concert and everything. Mondays should be less busy. Perhaps for Autumn Attack II we will go back to Thursday nights so the email will be a bit more accurate

Just read that you took a fall a couple weeks ago. I hope everything is ok?

Makes sense, crowd last thurs. wasn't that bad, but the running race yesterday was horrible.

just a reminder, the races have been rescheduled from thursday nights to monday nights.
do not fret however, if you are looking at this post today (july 6th) you did not miss the first race which is on monday july 10th at 9:00, race at 9:30.
be there or be square.

whoa, this is a bummer. i work monday nights so i'm out.

This will be fun, see you all there.

saw quite a few fixed gears in the park tonight...

Yeah I was riding with a crew of fixies tonight...although I was on a road bike. Right after we parted ways in Brooklyn my handlebars snapped in half.

EDIT: I snapped my fixie handlebars in half, which was why I was on the road bike. In case that wasn't clear.

i saw a few fixed gears out there too, at around 11, just around when the concert finished up.

As for a teamate, whats the chance i can get paired up, night of?

If anyone wants/needs a teamate hit me up!

During Autumn Attack the teams were randomly assigned each week. Dunno if they are doing the same thing now or not...

They aren't.
Anybody here with 8min 30 sec lap or less pm me

You better cut down on those wheaties

We thought we would spice things up be letting people make teams ahead of time. However, I’m sure people will be looking for teams the night of. Also, I will be ready to race so if someone has no teammate, they will get someone who can put down a 7:45 lap time.

Sorry f anyone showed up ready to race last night. Unfortunately, we didn’t get new fliers out because I had been laid up from a bad crash. Anyways, get ready for Monday.

these lap times are going to kill me!!!

when is the high handlebar contest? i'm in.

sadly, i won't be racing monday nights.
hint hint.

Bump

this is going to rock. watch out for team "Polish Redneck"

I'll be there!

tonight should be fun. bring a teamate and a friend. Remember, racing starts at 9:30
