I have a trainer you can borrow if you want. Church St. hammering on a trainer in a banana hammock doubles my pledge. Photo evidence is required.

Is there a way we could slowly trailer him and his training rig up Church? People could toss money in as he rolls up the street. A big FFL sign and a bunch of other riders as security. :lol: It sounds so crazy it just might work. If he did this pre-parade and or during the parties that night, he could make all 2K in a day. He needs a set of angel wings though.

my initial thoughts would be to fill a large camelback resevoir with ice, put beer and resevoir in plasitic lcbo bag and voila. or, do you thing a bottle or two would fit in the resevoir itself?

ziploc bag + ice. I also put the beer bottles inside of big woolie socks to keep them from clanking together and/or poking me in the back.

i'll have to get some of those big ziploc freezer bags. i'd probably go with cans for safety. nothing worse than warm beer.

Close, for me though busted glass in your spine is worse. I like the woolie idea, those freezer ziplocks are the bomb.... how about some of those blue freezer things? That way your not dealing with bags of water to deal with.

all I can say is that the GT logo on yours is a bit different from mine.
and I've never seen a pulse before so I don't know if you got one or the other.

Yeah, the background of the logo is silver with sparkles ;) If it were gold, it would match my rims perfectly. S'okay cuz I am not really too nuts about the matching thing but yeah, silver sparkles are neat.

Sounds like my ride down to CV last night (in the middle of 8 bike cops). I totally got busted for blowing a red light though.. the cop said "you're lucky I'm on my way home." Whelp! That would have truly sucked. He seemed nice enough though... I turned down Beverly from College to try and escape, not realizing that they were headed to the cop shop on Dundas (I was picturing the one on College). d'oh! I turned around and said "are you guys following me?" in a ******** voice, and he goes "that depends... do you have beer at home?"

I figured I wouldn't mention that I had several on my person that I planned on drinking in a park. :P

It might be a little hard to spot with the frame painted (I stripped the paint off mine) but the Pulse was constructed of Easton tubing. On the downtube...just below the headtube..there will be an Easton logo stamped in the tube if it is a Pulse. You will need to look very closely with good lighting. Crossing my fingers for ya.
