Much like chess boxing, to succeed in cycling one must remain in peak shape mentally as well as physically. Experts agree, reading makes you smarter. Join the Cuttin’ Crew’s “Cyclist Book Club” for a bimonthly mental training ride.
First meeting (at which a book will be chosen) February 26th, FEBRUARY 19TH, 7 pm, Mercury Cafe (1505 W. Chicago Ave.)

I find cycling to be like a sword fight.
You must think first, before you move

Any interested parties please bring suggestions for our first read.. Doesn’t have to be bicycle related

Excellent Gwen!
I vote for something more aggressive.. Like the “Screaming Emu’s”
February 22nd, 2009 at 6:11 pm
you know, i was thinking. maybe: books, novels, about chicago, per se. by authors from chicago- my vote: nelson algren, “never come morning”, and what about “the man with the golden arm”, “walk on the wild side”. thats my vote. but of course, theres many more chicago novelists. book club! in chicago! what do yall think.

what do you mean by “aggressive” molly?
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I was just being silly.. I didn’t really have a serious suggestion, if you’d like the honor of naming us I’d trust your judgment Gwen

oh, aha. “screamin emus” is not an “aggressive book” its aggressive us. i get it. (i was feeling… dumb… i was like, “aggressive novels”? what does that mean? we’re getting so… critical… and i dont know if i can hang with that… y’all are so darned smart!)
