ATTENTION ALL LIST MEMBERS!!!!!!!!:
Well, summer has fast run away, fall is here, winter is around the next bend and I miss the crunchy leaves of Prospect Park beneath my spinning wheels. So it's time for a visit to the old country and another more or less monthly meeting of the Brooklyn Velodrome Vintage Wheelmen! HOORAY!!!
The BVVW group is comprised of about 25 hardcore certified freaks, who will hangout and talk bike stuff for about 2 hours.The BVVW is a tangent of Gruppo Sportivo Pergolizzi (wear your BVVW jerseys to the meeting please for the group photo).
I, together with my assistant despot Mattie Bowne, have arraigned for this informal gathering of all N.Y. metro area cyclists who share an interest in vintage bicycles and cycling history. As always, youse is ALL invited. We will talk the old talk (1930 to 1980) of cycling, our heroes, and their bicycles and parts.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, November 13, 2008.
Meet at 5:30 p.m. for a 6:00 o'clock start.
The meeting will take place at:
John's Pizzeria 278 Bleeker St. in Greenwich Village, New York City!
Pizza is cooked the old fashioned way in a coal fired brick oven. We even seen da coal pile in da basement a while back while wait'n outside on line. Beer is Budweiser; she's is on tap, and cold! Yung Ling some times too! Ernesto and Joe the waiters take good care of us. As long as they gets their "tribute" afterwards.
Then (around 8:00 p.m.) we will head just east and across the street (still on Bleeker) to Rocco's for canolli and espresso and say "Hi" to Don Cicciu.
Hard core Brooklynites (at least me , Mattie and Vic K.) will then go to Junior's on Flatbush Ave., Brrrrook-uoo-lee-nou, for cheese cake. WOW!
Please make every effort to come as none of us EVER get enough fun!
Youse guys had better show up as I ain't gonna be around doin dis forever !
Sig.Matteo, vice despot, we're still waiting for YOU!
