fix - it / fix- Myke 11/22
« on: November 17, 2009, 02:30:52 PM »

So the fundraiser is from 1-4 at shrewsberry lanes
I see a River Des Peres Ride in our future but my guess is there a folks wanting to fix stuff too.

Mike's thing is the plan. Show up early if you want to wrench, we roll out at 1pm.

How about we roll out earlier?  Saying 1 means we leave at 1:45, which means we get there an hour and a half late...

I say we roll our noon or 12:30.  If we're taking a leisurely route, noon.  Direct, 12:30?

Eugene is suppose to get here Saturday about noon.  Solex fixit will already be underway.
  Sunday by noon we hope to have 10 running solexii, ready to roll out to Shrewsbury Lanes.
We need ride ushers, and video/camera guys ..
  The route is open to discussion, but I'd personally like to ride the length of tower grove park, and then wind down sublette way,,sorta..
   There'll be a big pot of chili, when we get back from the lanes.

Mark, with a gaggle of Solexii to prep up for the Sunday ride, we orta start looking them over and fixin' the unfixed stuff Saturday afternoon . . . then we will have most of the Solex wrenchin' done (maybe!) and on Sunday will have time to dive into other stuff.  Besides, the way Jimmy is droolin' all over his keyboard, he might be super anxious to get on that thing and start screamin' around STL as soon as we get it tuned up, gassed up, and in puttin' mode.   Smiff

You are flying! You're passing that pick-up truck like it was standing still.
