Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not sure if I can put this here but Feb. 19th there is going to be a swap meet for bike swag at the Taco Bus.
If I've violated some BF rule than forgive me.

Where do you see "this Saturday". The site has Sunday, Feb. 19th as the date. I'm confused.

The fact that it is a bike swap meet at a Taco bus...tells me there is going to be mostly a bunch of hipsters on flourescent green bikes with orange wheels.

Pass. I'll be likely racing that weekend anyway.

I spoke with Alan (he's a member of the SHBC group that I ride with) and he said that they are expecting quite a few vendors. I'm thinking of going to this after my Sunday morning ride.

Edit: Are any of you guys planning on doing the Ride 4 the Animals in February?

Disagree.
I think there will be a healthy mix. I look forward to seeing lots of guys I ride with there and hanging out in perfect Florida weather. Since it starts at 11:00, I think everyone will get in their normal Sunday ride and then go over to Taco Bus.

What's wrong with Taco Bus?

Also the Make a Wish (Oakley Transitions) 100 charity ride on the 19th in Dunedin. Still nice that there is a local swap meet, doesn't seem to happen too often in this area.
