beautiful weather. I couldn't help taking the super long way to class and back.
First time I could wear my spring raincoat and I can't thank my fender enough! Probably best bike part purchase ever!

I'm looking for a new/used square taper crank/ring for the MTB, the proprietary XT has given up the ghost.
I have a campy daytona 144bcd(?) with 53/39 rings. PM me if interested. T.O. BF prices in effect.

such awesome weather

ride to work was warm, and fast

ride home was on a shoulder i nearly dislocated trying to roll a kayak (YEA work field trips), sadly this means no more riding for a little bit. popped it out to the point where i actually thought it was gone, then it popped back in by its self... then had to ride home one handed (thank god i run a front brake)

Yiiii!!! Take care of that and strengthen up your shoulder girdle when it's healed-ish. If you need help learning how to roll a kayak, let me know. I taught whitewater kayaking for years.

I hope to later, but in no particular order am 1) cleaning/tuning the fixed bike 2) picking up the c-dale from Cycle Therapy and getting it adjusted 3) putting together and finding out whats missing the s/s for my wife. Ideally I'll get out for a while on the c-dale and see how the new setup rides.

Just got back from my leg melting ride. Thought it would be a good idea to head out east to the start of Taylor Creek and work my way back in.......DOH! T.C. was fine....a decent hardpack path that I could follow....but as soon as I got to the Don Mills Rd/Lower Don junction I was screwed. No more plowed path...no more hardpack...just a long hike up the Thorncliffe Park hill in the wet snow. The rest of the trip around town was fantastic tho....almost felt like spring, altho I of course know better.

I ended up going and picking up some very middle-eastern groceries from Arz bakery at Lawrence & Pharmacy. I got there via Queen St, Kingston, Main, and O'Connor. Serious Scarborough riding times.
