    There may be a beer troll at the bike bridge we'll have to deal with....

    I like that.

    Don't want to be standing in that debit card line.

    Does anyone have a SRAM 10speed rear derailleur? Just bent mine today.
    Experiencing the world through second hand information isn’t enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it. We will never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it.

    It there an ETA for making it back to front street? Though I'm guessing that any ETA would be the wildest of all SWAG's.

    BTW - Merry Stompin' eve to you and yours. Hopefully those of us hoping for a White Stomp will be able to find a way to cope.

    Rough plan is to be at Dee's by 1:00-1:30 and leave by 3:00-3:30 with arrival back at FSBFH by 6:00/dark. Pizza sometime after 7:00.

    See you in the morning!

    Want to give an obvious heads up: Stomped Credit 3 mornings this week and witnessed 3 different bike-ride-killing malfunctions due to the terrain. If you are going tomorrow, please pay close attention to your wheels and RD's and the people's around you. There is so much awesome crap on that island that can destroy a rear wheel, RD, or hanger in matter of seconds.

    This is going to be ridiculously fun.

    have fun tomorrow! I'll be doing an Urban Stomp here in Philly to show some solidarity. It will include a lap at Wissahickon Gorge, followed by some Q at Tommy Gun's BBQ and finished with some excellent ale from Philadelphia Brewing Company at Atlantis, the Lost Bar. There will be +25 miles covered, between 1500-2000+ feet of elevation climbed and many beers to celebrate.

    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    The whole gallery: Enchanted Fatbike Stomp

    What was the final turnout? I counted 59 people in one of the group photos towards the beginning of the ride.

    70 bikers- 6 hours riding in 25 degrees with a beer stop on the way to the beer stop...

    THIS WAS AWESOME!!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Still hungover. I woke up this morning freaking out because I thought I had left Randy's Necro on my porch. I ended up tripping over it running to check. Haha.

    I think I used up all of my fun fund for 2013 on that one day.
