saturday or sunday sounds like gravy to me. Operator, will the yonge bus let me bring me bike on it up to finch?

email: kingkelly@gmx.net

I live in Oshawa and the riding just east of you is great. Check it out. What kind of riding road/mountain?

youre a cycling monster operator! im at around weldrick and avenue... or Yonge and 16th, a lil behind hillcrest.. you? And should i bring a backpack or anything? what you guys usually do?

Just dress in less clothes than you think you need when you go out the door (you will heat up, alot!), and a water bottle. Other than that you don't really need anything. Maybe some trail mix?

I'm tempted not to bring my kit with me, (spare tube + wrench + mini pump). I have panniers so it isn't a big issue, but yeah what Shiz said, water bottle, wallet. And cell if you got one. But yeah finch is only around 10km from where you are, I can meet you at the country style on the SW corner of Yonge + 16th.

yup sounds good... ummm, meet around 10:15-10:30?

Yeah, Sunday looks great. It may rain a little, but it'll be the best weather we're going to have for a long, long time.

a little rain is nothing to worry about. As long as its not thunderstorming, you'd have to be a girlyman to cancel a ride before its even happened.

I'll come just to spank you Shiz. If everyone is alright with rain, i'm game. Everytime i've been on a ride with the TBN, it started raining they were like oh no we hate rain!

I'll make a new thread.

I got an email from Operator and he says 12 Noon, so which is which, I hope its 12 noon so I can do the Donut ride, been looking forward to do this for a week now

yes orquasch, 12 noon at St. George stop. Operator lives close to me, so were both meeting early to ride up to the Finch station. whats the donut ride?

it meets at Laird and Eglinton, Saturday/Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and ride north of the City on a good day it will cover close to 100 K to 150 K about 50 to 100 cyclist,

Sound off on this or the other thread if you are coming or not if you do happen to see this before (if) you leave for the ride tomorrow.

My cell is 555-screwyou, in case anyone needs to reach me, 12 noon time includes the daylight savings switch!

Edit: Lol Orguasch.

good ride everybody. I was feeling good so I ended up riding out to York Mills and bayview and then back home. I hope everyone feels good (feel better Kelly) and you should all stretch.

peace.

Yep, nice ride. Anyone have an odo reading of the entire ride? My speedo was dropping out every now and then.

Let's see them pics...!

hehe thanks skyelo... just got finished being lectured by me dad.. it was an awesome ride though!
note to self: buy a new friggin bike

Yeah, good ride guys. It turned out to be a beautiful day in the end, which is also lucky for all the trick or treaters. Hope you're not infected Kelly! I'll keep my eye out for a bargain on a decent bike for you. As per request, here are the pictures; there are more but these were the best shots:

P.S. Door to door my odometer said 38.5km, so the official ride distance was probably around 35 or so.

Did you guys go up Bathurst this morning around 830ish-9ish? And see a cyclist on the other side with a purple jacket, black tights, blue helmet and a Camelbak on a yellowish-orange Devinci MTB?

Nope not us. Great pictures Shiznaz, #8 is a broken link though.

hmmm... upon further inspection, there is no #8 at all. Disregard #8, I just lost count.

sweeeetass pictures... whos that hansome devil in number 10

who's that guy in Tacconi Jacket, okay its me, didn't recognized at first :D :D

next ride I am going would be November 14, by then I would be off duty from my work, and the invitation still stands...

You guys want to do it again this Sat/Sun?

Hey I guess I just missed you, I was doing hills at Sunnybrook park yesterday afternoon, and it looks like you rode up that way!

i gotta put a new freewheel on and a chain thats not an orange color...

Ok i'll set a date for this Saturday 12pm at St. George station. You are welcome to join us Scooby Snax.

How tall are you? You could ride my second bike (the blue one), but its a tall frame so I don't think someone under 6 foot could ride it. I live close to st. george station so it wouldn't be hard to get it over there.

thanks for the offer shiznaz, but im going to take it easy for now. right shoulder is being an ass, and right wrist is still feelin weird. I wouldnt trust myself on a bike like that too ;)

Operator, Kingkelly, shiznaz, Skyelo, and Msmitten and scooby Snax, lets ride on November 14, on my day off if snow is not yet with us, after the ride you can take a dip in my indoor swimming pool, (oh well the apartment where I live) and sauna

You're welcome to ride with us anytime you feel up to it...!

Nov 14th sounds great Orguasch. It'll be great if we get even more bikeforum members to go on a ride...!

ill be in snowy mtl the 14th

shiznaz,
can I ask you a favor, do you have a picture of me taken during the ride that I am not covering my face or what, can you send it to my hotmail, oh by the way my email addy is orguasch@hotmail.com, thanks in advance I am making an album of myself and my son Miguel, again thanks
oscar

operator,
have you installed the clipless pedal that you bought, and did you change the red cleats to black.
oscar

Oscar, I think I'll take you up on that, are you thinking the donut run or jsut a toodle round town?

I did the double last Sunday and I suffered, no the "donut Run" is too taxing for an old guy like me, will just ride the small Bikeforums member ride on Sunday, but on Saturday I will do the "donut run" just half of it like all the way to "Grand Ma's Bake shop" on Yonge and King Road, up North, then I will head home.

Oscar, how far is half?

I like the idea of a half, so is that about 60K?

And I like the idea of Riding down Yonge from King... Once you crest the hill at Bloomington, its a decent downhill until practically Centre St. In Thornhill!! I'm all about the downhills!

This is the bestest weather ever.

Couldn't even go out to get my pedals.

I managed to get in a good hour long ride today. I was pretty wet when I got back though....

yes, about 60 K, from Laird and eglinton all the way to GrandMa's Bake Shop is about 40 K and if your going back via Leslie Street going back to my house would be about 90 K, and I will be able do the ride until 1 P.m.

the forecast is for this weekend, I am looking at the weekend of November 13 and 14, hope the weather improves by that time, I can stand the cold but not getting wet and cold..

It looks like tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day (in relative terms); is anyone up for a ride? I sure am.

Oscar, are you going on the donut ride tomorow (sat)? if so, we should meet up cause im prob. going. Does it start at 8?

yo shiznaz, im down if i can get my bikey fixed by tomorrow.. or even sunday morn would be alright

Count me in Shiznaz. Kelly you good for tomorrow too? We need to do some different routes.

no I am working this weekend, and it starts at 9:00 a.m. sharp at Laird and Eglinton, at "The Great Canadian Bagel Co., you'll enjoy it, very competitive
ride safe
