Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

Okay dude, eff this ess. I just conned Wes into thinking I'm going to burn him some albums. Instead, I'll throw [secret document] on one of the cdrs he's giving me and I'll drop it off for you.
Su-Weeeeeet!

Its a depressing thought, but I honestly have to say, if I didn't have a group like this to commiserate with, I might not be cycling today... Being a 'lone victim' is a hell of a lot worse than being in a community of victims. Its good to know you're all out there fighting the good fight

Awwwww....I'm welling up. *Group Hug*

haha that may have come across a little sentimental

edit: I bet this is how ****** members feel

I have a Mac, so I've never used any of these, but this page might be a good place to start: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod-software-windows

cooooooooool thanx man!!

I owe you the next dosa!

So who is C.Ming tonite? Should I pack an extra layer for park beers afterwards? Mmmmmmmmm.....beer. Maybe we can rock the Central Tech running track for some impromtu "Urban Keirin"

I'm sure this has been asked 10 000 times, but I can't be bothered to go through 531 pages, so I will ask again. I live downtown, I have a mountain bike and a road bike, and I'm thinking of going fixed too (if you have two bikes, why not three?). The problem is I don't want to spend a huge amount of money on it.

I have an old Raleigh 3 speed internal hub bike which is sweet, but I just read that it uses 650cc wheels, and I'd need a new crank, etc etc. I have a nice extra set of wheels that I could use, though I'd need the Surly Fixxer, so I could do a frame build up job...

I've looked at Urbane, and they have a nice frame, but it's pretty expensive. $450 for the frame and fork. Once I start buying the rest I'm getting into the price range of a new one from Specialized or Bianchi.

Any other ideas? Ideally (sorry this is long) I'd like to get a bike that I can either run SS or Fixed, that has brakes, and is 61cm or thereabouts.

David.

I'm in. May or may not make the start point in time though. CT track+beer action sounds fun.

I've been looking at ordering from IRO Cycle or from someone who distributes Surly. I'm actually going to wait 'till the Bike Show on the 21st to see if anyone has any new track frames on the cheap ( ~ $300)

Come pick up your tires. Wash your hands first.

Absolutely. Is the shop open on Sunday?

Whoa, what! Well I never... :eek: ;)


TMI ahead... (btw, is there a spoler tag on this messageboard?)

Gah, it was only my first threesome, and it wasn't that great even (I spent most of the time with the one guy and then I went home after with him) :o

Seems they are over rated.

most disappointing description of a threesome ever...

Where are nana and little suzy and rover? What about the famous Voltaire's fist maneuver? You gotta go for the gusto!

My friend is having an opening, so I'll be there and not at CM. However I'll possibly be up for shizzle afterwards.. someone call me.

When my band was on tour in 2000 our drummer had a threesome in Calgary. We made him describe every last detail and it was the most hilarious thing ever. Our guitarist nearly drove us off the road.. :P

Yeah well don't feel too bad. I was going westbound on Bloor and taking the lane since I was about to turn Left on StG. Going the speed of traffic (which wasn't very fast) And this asshat behind me layed on his horn.

I gave him an earful when I slowed down and pulled up besides his window. I yelled so loud he looked like he was stunned by a flashbang.


I'm in. May or may not make the start point in time though. CT track+beer action sounds fun.

Call me if you can't make the start and i'll report location. I pm'ed you my cell.

Eyefloater, Keith any inexpensive full fingered cool weather gloves out there?

any one up for some Pike fishing on the leslie spit this afternonn???

Is that some sort of code? "Pike fishing".....hmmmm.

Same boat... single layer Neoprene and tackified palms perferably.

PS. Rob, you got one crazy yell... I remember when you went ape at a dude outside of the st. george subway entrance because you almost walked into eachother or something. That was like 2 years ago...

Yeah...I have a bunch. Full finger...lobster...all around $30.

Singer/Frontman....action galore. Lead guitar....action galore. Bassist, drummer, Rhythm section.....you get the one with "personality"

That certainly wasn't the case for our drummer. He'd take his shirt off half way through a set and the deal would be sealed. :P

I would have to agree with you on the bassist front however. ;)

Only if you call my boss and pretend to be my mom.


Call me if you can't make the start and i'll report location. I pm'ed you my cell.

I didn't get any PMs..? ;)

Ok, I just realized now you were being serious.

on stage....action...even the techs... :D

isn't there a kids in the hall sketch about "the base player"? i think it describes a deffinate lack of action on the female front.

can't make CM tonight, i was keen on going but plans are plans.

i've stopped yelling at drivers because it just makes me more upset so i usually just spit or wave at them manically like a ****** (ie. with a big *****-eating grin on my face. i mean that in the most politically correct sense; there's no better way to describe it).

Jeremy...what was cookin' this week?
I've tried to stop being mean to the poor, misunderstood drivers and just carve around them as much as possible.
This to help in my endless quest to be a better example to my kids, than the road ragin' freak I have been in the past.
Maybe if I pretend hard enough they will all go away. Anyone wanna PM a celly in case I make it out later? When CM done normally?

yes. yes there was.

i remember it well. i didn't want to say anything about bass players being the nerds of the band because i know someone here plays bass [cough!].

EDIT: complete with 'shadowy men on a shadowy planet' playing back up. i love it.

Jeremy...what was cookin' this week?

monday was salad italienne (salad w/ peppers, tomatoes, salami, asiago, vinaigrette), pototo salad w/ lemon vinegairette
tuesday was apple pie, roast pork, shnizel (sp?), goulash and scones.
i think i'm getting gout.

this reminds me, for all the broke students on here you can get a great meal such as these at the GBC cafetieria for under $5. usually enough for 2 meals in them.

Dude .....In my family Schnitzel is known as "The Meal" You learned it with Veal? I do it with chicken, my mom learned it from the base frauleins in Germany where I was born. Hungarian Goulash? Trade notes?

we did the schitzel with pork as it was "pork week" (which sounds about as dirty as "pike fishing" or "threesome"...oh wait...) i have all the recipes if you want them (you just have to scale them down becuase they yield enough for 40 people or more). i'm not sure what the goulash was, plenty of hand-staining paprika though.
for sure send along the family secrets; i'll add it to my archives.

huhuhuhuh.. "hand staining".. </beavis>

Calfee Bamboo frame too :D

I saw a side view of that this morning

that's wrong for so many reasons (the frame is h-o-t however)

all their frames are smokin

not the most forgiving frame in the world...

ok so who is going tonight PM me some cellies..... CT Kerin after?
