And this has nothing to do with beer, but a lot to do with bikes. I just didn't know where to post it. In Wired.com this month there is a list of the top 10 new bike gadgets. Enjoy! http://www.wired.com/gadgets/gadgetreviews/multimedia/2008/10/gallery_bikestuff?mbid=wir_newsltr
I love how these lists always have the most ridiculous items that not only no one really needs but they are ridiculously overpriced. Id like to find the person who spends $100 on a multitool and give them a wedgie.
Yeah! Thanks for coming, all of you! The numbers were small, but the fun was big!
Next crawl will be early December to take a break from not spending money we don't have.

Thanks to poorly timed rain last week, our first bike pub crawl was called off. So we're pushing off on Wednesday evening and marking the 90th anniversary of the Armistice that ended The Great War. Since the odds are good that we won't run into any WWI vets to honor, we'll also be remembering all the veterans of the armed forces. It's a day late for Veterans Day, Remembrance Day, and Armistice Day, but I don't think anyone will mind. You could mark the Nov. 12th expulsion of Leon Trotsky from the Communist Party, but I like my idea better.
Rather than start at the Corner Pug, we'll instead convene at the CCBA Bike Everywhere meeting at Lena's on Park St. (Bike parking in the rear parking lot). The meeting starts at 6 pm, and attending is a good way to let your voice be heard and contribute to the advancement of cycling in Hartford. We can carb up with some of Lena's good food and then head all the way across the building and officially start the crawl at Sully's Pub. The forecast is for a seasonable night for mid-November...somewhere around 40 F. Dress for it!
Here's a loose schedule:
6 pm - 7 pm: CCBA Bike Everywhere Committee Meeting, Lena's, 2053 Park St., Hartford, CT 7:00 - 7:45 pm: Sully's Pub, 2071 Park St., Hartford, CT 8:00 - 9:00 pm: Vaughan's Public House, 59 Pratt St., Hartford, CT9:05 - 9:45 pm: McKinnon's Irish Pub, 114 Asylum St., Hartford, CT10:00 - 11:00 pm: The Half Door*, 270 Sisson Ave., Hartford, CT * Note: The Half Door usually has a band for their $2 pint night on Wednesdays and therefore charges a nominal cover charge (~$4).
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
