Well, here's 28 hours notice;
Jet Fuel Alleycat, 20th yadda yadda yadda. Meet at Jet Fuel 519 Parliament, race begins 8pm, racers should arrive 7pm to be certain of registration etc.
Checkpoint people are wanted, needed, loved, abused and discarded but not necessarily in that order. There are 20 checkpoints! So if the thought of 20 (complex) checkpoints takes the race right out of you come be a checkpoint person! Experienced get thier own checkpoint, inexperienced get to team up as needed/wanted. Fun gauranteed, standing in the wind & possibly snow! For hours maybe! Yeah baby. Then back to Jet Fuel for a rippin helloween party.
Checkpoint people need to arrive 6pmish at Jet Fuel. Desina is volunteer coordinator, if you don't know Desina conact via UTW news page. Showing up counts as perfect, no previous contact really required.
Good Afternoon!

Speaking of races, though I'm not sure it's been announced officially yet I can't seem to care, it's official, Toronto will be hosting the 2008 CMWC! We're going to make it the biggest, baddest, funnest CMWC yet, & that's sayin something!

Uh-oh. go train service suspended this afternoon. That means I lane split between stationary cars from Bay almost all the way to Bathurst. Going north on Bay would probably be just as bad.
Whats university like heading north during rush hour? I figure maybe university north, and then harbord west would be the best option on days like today.

I want to be able to walk to many places and be out and about, I was looking at Queen's Park or Old Toronto? I am not sure, as this is from a Fodor's guide.
If you suggest any hotels please let me know, many Thanks ...

Yes, good seeing you too, i wish I had more time to get out and ride with you guys. It was also nice to see Audrey Tautou vacuuming the coffee roaster. The alleycat looks like fun too, but I'm a workin'.

Times like this I wish I had a nice geared rig, maybe a 52 up front and a good 8 speed cassette in the back. I'd love to race tomorrow but with just my fixed whip I don't stand a chance.
Maybe its time to think about a bike with gears again.

dang, you guys are having FUN! I still check up on the toronto thread when I have time.
oh man, I got completely crushed by my midterms which means I gotta study harder.
My biking goal is to ride through the winter on the gt.
I checked and I def. don't have enough clearance to put on some knobbies.
anyone have experience on riding throughout winter on road slicks?
