i live near st joe's (have spent some interesting times there); i can swing by tomorrow before work if anyone is free during the day and want to have a quick visit around noon or so (assuming that's not lunch / sponge-bath times for dear robin). whose around...brad? and other parkdale people?
i had no idea his name is robin.
EDIT: never mind he's out of the hospital. i bet you guy's have all sorts of stories; st joe's is where they take all the crack-heads and the rest of parkdale's finest when things go sour.
a ride up to richmond hill? hm, that's my old hood, a good 35km one way. i may be able to do that one way next week.

Cavernmech, could you give me a lift back into town after Saturday's race? I can get a ride out there, but the bike and I need a ride back into town.
Yes.

He got sent home actually... it's somewhere in the backpages. He's in Richmond Hill (?) now I think.

BTW - i think it speaks volumes about the kind of people that hang out here that one of us can go down in a bad accident one day, be taken care of by his peers and then have the piss taken out of him and take the teasing in good spirits the next day. bravo all!

Rob, you probably don't feel like Mr. Super Cool these days what with your mutant face and all. Get me to tell you my "going for smokes with a rectal catheter in" story sometime. That'll make you feel better, just don't hurt yourself laughing at me.

Robin is the Paris Hilton of hospital wait rooms. Corporate sponsors flock to him for his image!

Rob - not sure if you're checking PM, but I tried to get in touch there.. I've got a car available today, so please let me know if you need any help getting a ride downtown or to/from the hospital.
Hope you'll be back up & running at bikechain soon ;)

I havn't been to a bike event all summer. i feel so out of the loop. i won't be at the race tonight either as it is my day of birth.. toby said he might make me a special happy birthday honourary(sp?) spoke card even though i can't make it to the race. possibly somepne *cough*dan?*cough* might remember to grab me one. k?thxbye

Love the pics guys, the scream made me howl :D
I'm visiting my precious tonight, so I'll be skipping CM. If I can get there on time, I'll drop by the race start to see if there's help needed... Otherwise, have a good one tonight all - bummer I'll miss the Hallowe'en CM as I'm sure it'll be entertaining :)
Mmm, pumpkin cookies eh... that can only mean good times.

I was planning on it...however the copious amounts of beer consumed last night might put the kibosh on that. I will prolly head down for spectating. Racing 3 days in a row seems a bit masochistic at the moment.

Well according to the Tobster I might be running a checkpoint tonight. Anyone want to keep me company? Failing that I dunno I'll improvise. Maybe I'll race or just hang out etc. I'll be there no matter what 7:30ish though to give Toby any help he may need.

Good to read you're okay Rob, I heard about your accident at a bike shop, you be famous :) BTW if anyone knows if this is the skinny, cause if it is it's kinda scary halloween ooooo! but at La Carrera the word was it was the same rig that got you what got Albert's digits yo? Accursed Frame from the Dark Side? That'd get you big bucks on ebay, everyone loves evil sit
The urban(e) legend grows.
True. Dex had his bike at La Carrara earlier this week and it was that exact ride that made a smash and grab of Albert's fingers - Zion (sp?) had confirmed that night of which totally slipped my mind given the circumstances. I mentioned the story to Nadir this morning and we feel that this was the third incident - mangeling his own finger in the crash being the second - and the curse is now complete. We hope ;)

I have a pumpkin cookie recipe for those interested. Kind of cakish for me but still pretty good. Not vegan though.
Also a wicked pumkin cranberry bread recipe, blueberry squares, gingersnaps, wholewheat oatbran muffins...
I've noticed I'm gaining weight this year as well.

Just got off the phone with Toby. Race is being postponed to next Tuesday, Devil's Night. And there's actually going to be more prizing and check points.
Also, took my inaugural Autumn Fall - you're welcome Dan - on my way home from work thusly completing the tri-fecta. So no excuses, everyone else stay upright from now on, k?
I'm going to go ice my wrists. Very lo speed nothing of a crash - on the devil strip I might add - but I slapped the ground and my wrists are soft from having healed so many times.
hurray for not riding in the rain! good call, tobra snake.

Glad to hear you're okay dude. Look after those wrists. And nice one with the "Autumn Fall". I love how those type of jokes are AUTUMNmatically associated with me

I dated a girl who had weird parents. She was born on a fall morning, hence the name Autumn Dawn Sweet. Better than her sister who was named after a Bond girl. Honey Sweet.
Thank god she was born before Octapu$$y was released. Pu**y Sweet would have been too cruel.
