Sounds good. Do you have a fancy frisbee? Or just something normal? I have a cheap frisbee here from a conference, and I also have an Aerobie sport. :)

Frisbee golf hmm don’t you have to use led filled ones for that? Tried it once at Centennial Park i remember the disc's being heavy?

STEEKER 06-24-06 08:06 PM

For more than you ever really wanted to know about frisbee golf (disc golf more generically) discs, checkout
golf discs http://tinyurl.com/zcax9

There's a load of different weights involved and, depending on the disc, it will have different characteristics in flight. If you're using baskets, proper discs are pretty much a must. Like steeker, I generally use my regular discs: heavies, 165 + for driving and the smaller ones for finisse appoachers, 133's or 110's depdending on wind conditions

I don't know if there's even a real disc course in the Toronto area.

yeah, I know there's different weights and such, hence my question. There's a real course out on the islands afaik.

STEEKER 06-24-06 08:36 PM

I Fly fish in the channels near the course out there sometimes::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::BE brave let's ride to the credit river tonight.

Doing it on a fixie would be pretty hardcore, but I guess I am not hardcore enough.

We will be on our dope geared bikes, the Benotto and the Cramerotti.

I don't even own a helmet so I had to take one from work today
http://www.velotique.com/images/giro-EclipseSilver.jpg

I dont even like it, but I never like any helmet I try on.

I will probably bring it back...

FYI
So finally made it down to MEC today (4:30ish) no more park tool (witch i knew) they are now selling fitzer, but no pedal wrenches in stock. Cycle therapy (great place to get park tools) the chic convinced me on the shop one $ but very nice & beefy.

LOL, they're at Elm/McCaul, but their apt room doesn't face the street, but rather another apt building. I'll think of something to get them back though... :evil:

Yo crazy hairshirt guys. Good luck tomorrow.

jeremywhitehorn 06-24-06 10:37 PM

it's 12:30 saturday night and i'm a teensy bit intoxicted; who is up for a ride right now? it would mean i don't have to ride off the hangover tomorrow...where are you steeker? i know you're always up for a night ride...

jeremywhitehorn 06-24-06 11:00 PM

yes, good luck to the hairshirt lads tomorrow; this is the first year in a while that i haven't done it so make the FG/SS toronto lads proud. i've done it in about 15 hours, let's see you better that time (i'm sure you can). i'll check in with you tomorrow night.

That and I've got that 36/36 double fixed set of Formula hubs just itching to be laced up 3 leading/3 trailing.

Oh willpower, save me now.

If you don't get to using the hubs hook me up! I don't feel like placing an order for it.
and broken social scene/bloc party/fiest blew my mind.
I feel asleep in the sun waiting for the bands to come out so i'm going to peel everywhere tomorrow :(
