Bicycle Polo
« on: October 22, 2010, 03:29:54 PM »
There's going to be some bicycle polo going on on Saturday.

There are a number of extra mallets. Basically, all you'll need is a bike and a helmet.

If you're interested, post up.

Beek and I will be playing around 4pm.

Noon-2 (or 1-3) would work better for me; I was planning on going to the psychology conference keynote at 3:30 which I forgot about until last night.

Coordination is occurring--you might be outvoted by the SBS crew who want to play at 6ish.  Call DC.

I'm busy until 6pm, and honestly... I probably shouldn't play tonight. I have too much studyin to do.

That all said... I think the consensus was to play again next saturday?

Oooookaaaaaay.

I won't be able to get out until 6 either since I need to get some serious things done today.  If I can wrangle up some players, can I borrow the mallets?

TB and I will be there about 6 if you want to play, BP.  Hopefully we can get ES and LE (to say nothing of AY) out, if we can get the mallets from DC.

No, I got out of the cardboard box at 6pm. Then they came over. I didn't play coz I needed to get that bike built and get my profiles down.

Electronic box is tomorrow.

Your mallets are in my office.

For those who are curious, the flashing ball works pretty well unless it stops flashing, which seems to happen pretty randomly.  The white glow-in-the-dark ball is a little easier to see in pitch black unless it gets up against the boards.  I may be able to paint the flashing ball glow-in-the-dark, which might be the best of both worlds.

Well... if you have a frameset, and wheels, I probably have enough stuff to get it running single speed?
