Bah-rain!
No rain pants + fenders = mounting hook above radiator to dry bike clothes and shoes on.
I brought my jacket, but my pants and shoes are soaked, I only ride to Union, then about 4k from Whitby GO to work, doh.
Still, I hear it's supposed to brighten up soon, and at least this rain should flush out the remaining slop/****e around.

The challenge is here! Those who expressed interest in a computrainer ride at Absolute Endurance are hereby requested to come forth. PM me with your particulars (real name, email, phone #, if you wish) and I'll compile a list and set a date - preferably a Saturday at high noon.
FYI, there are 16 computrainers - two groups of 8 connected to 2 flat panel displays, so the roadies can be in one group and the fixies in another, or mix it up, whatever.
Keith has seen the setup, so ask him or me of any more particulars.

Somehow a facinating show when one was too 'tired' to change the channel.

Does anyone know of any parks in the city (other than on the islands) where there are public bbq grills? They seem to have disappeared everywhere else. Just thinking that it'd be awesome to start meeting on Friday nights in a park, but even awesomer if there was the opportunity to occasionally grill some food!
