I think one of the first .83 threads I ever read was lt Dan getting consensual group sexed for suggesting exactly this.

I hope you're not implying any inconsistency within this club. That would be hurtful.

to which I will glady respond that it's probably one of the BEST fabrics to wear to keep cool, as it retains water pretty OK and that provides excellent cooling.

poly western shirts with snap buttons are by far my favorite tops for hot weather riding.

It's interesting.

Point83 has certainly lost some shine in the community. I met a person at peddler last week and they noticed my point83 t shirt. This person basically assumed point83 was this misogynistic rapey boys club and for that reason chose to never go on a Thursday ride. I was curious so I asked where they heard this and mentioned a member of the club. I felt a little bummed that members of the club are out there not encouraging other cyclists to come out and have fun but even going far enough to basically scare people into not coming on rides. While I certainly acknowledge that .83 is NOT for everyone I think that this club was created for inclusion for all types of people and I feel that what this person assumed of the group without ever coming on a ride based on the opinion of a current active member was weak. Word travels fast in bike community so if you wanna trash the group start another group that's better I guess.

TL;DR haters are amongst us.

I'll wear a club shirt but I'm not wearing a fucking wool jersey this Saturday.

Not naming names, because that's never my style, but there were several private groups on FB where people would constantly complain about .83, yet they would still actively ride with the crew. Im glad im not into that toxic social media, justice warrior bullshit, but if individuals want to constantly bitch about a club that they're not happy with, then perhaps they should GTFO. If im not happy with something in the group, i tend to taper my attendance, reevaluate the situation, and not blast it all over the internet.

As far as people calling it rapey, thats a huge word that I dont take kindly to people throwing around unless there's been actual accounts of rape happening. I've heard of guys getting handsy the past year and a half (its happened to me numerous times), but people need to call those bastards out on that shit. I dont care how many drinks you've had, keep youre hands to yourself unless consent is given.

Anyways, I dont judge an entire group of people by the shitty encounter i've had with one person.

Oh, and fuck yeah, SLIP AND SLIDE!!!

wait, are you saying that there are people who would tell us one thing to our faces, and then talk shit behind our backs?

IN THIS TOWN?

Sound like the sad, FAILING liberal media strikes again!

Although, in a more serious note, unless I'm crazy, it does appear that there are a fair number of angry exes that I've seen come and go through the years. I think that perhaps .83 needs to work on their Scout Rule of the Heart.

(please be sure to tell everyone you know to wear their colors).

\It took me a few summers to realize that the thin cotton/poly western shirts with snap buttons are by far my favorite tops for hot weather riding.

Hey Jake, don't you know that we're a misogynist club that goes and puts DICK PICS in PARKS where CHILLLLLLLDREENNNN and FAMILIES can find them?

oh i can't give him that satisfactions. bazoinks!

you're a monster

It sounds like you do know who I met. It just seems this particular person was doing a fine job trashing the club to me, a bro they met for 5 minutes, and I'm thinking they probably trash the club any other time it comes up. But hey, What's more Seattle than trashing something you've never actually tried yourself amirite!?

Anyway, slip and slide!!!!

I don't know if you noticed that he censored my open-shirt cowboy response to Squirrel's post

Colors

Man, ive got so much DIRT!

If you grew up in the 509 area code I'm calling colors mandatory for you specifically, by the power vested in me as the most recent Spoke Card Maker.

OMG. So much dirt. How much money do you need not to publish that memoir?
