SHOUT OUT!!! BETTER LOCATION! OC VINTAGE BIKE FLASH SWAP! TOMORROW, FEBRUARY 9TH @ ORANGE CYCLE (Just a block from The Old Towne Orange Circle Ride!)

[cyclingday]

I’m not a big fan of the back and forth sports, so Hockey is way too mind boggling for me.
I can’t even see the puck most of the time.
The only reason that I like football, is because it develops slowly with moments of excitement when someone breaks out of the scrum.
(Excepting that really lame halftime show)
Come on man!
Now, Women’s beach volleyball is another that I enjoy watching, for obvious reasons, but other that that, the back and forth games are not really my thing.
But hey!
That sure looked like cool mini swap before the ride yesterday.
I’m sorry I had to miss it.
Oh, well!
Nothing says I love you, like an old bike freak willing to miss a swap and ride for her birthday.
Right?

Football is rigged. the 'game' was a faked performance. It's rigged for gambling purposes.. The NFL is no different than Wrestling or Boxing.

I should have been bidding on a bicycle chain as opposed to watching bits and pieces of a lame one sided NFL game that I didn't/don't care about! Ha!! I'm kinda a fair weather sports guy, don't watch much TV at all. If our hockey or CFL team suck I don't watch. Being Canadian ( a generalization/but most get some of it in our faces growing up) I watched some hockey from the cradle but was never a great player, and much like yourself, don't glue myself to any back and forth. I could dig beach vollyball, but it's never on here, or I don't look.

That swap meet looked well attended and decent stuff, bet there was a NOS Diamond skip tooth chain for a good price! You are a good man to miss a swap for a Bday ride. I won't say on a bike or did I? Ha!! Take care! Bob

Just make it happen in Florida. . . All it takes is a few friends in the hobby!

Our meet was easy thanks to these Awesome CABErs:
Dave @Marcheesy
Santi @Rust_Trader
Cory @Cory
Mark @tripple3
Marty @cyclingday (advisory role!)
with special thanks to Orange Cycle!

Everyone who showed up, some driving serious miles, made it fun and we all want to do it again!

 

[Dawalt]

just an idea would be to stagger it exactly between the 2 cyclone coaster pike meets - one for each season

Great ideas, everyone!

Dave @Marcheesy has already gotten the OK from Orange Cycle for Sunday, July 13th, but we could probably move that to August 10th if that is the preference.
It does get hotter in August yet we will be loaded up and leaving a clean parking lot by 10 AM, so the heat should not be a major concern.
I wonder if we might have more out-of-town collectors if we go in July vs August.

Please state your preference and rationale if you like, and let's see if there is a consensus.

Thank you!
Charlie
