    Was anyone else here at the 'Pedal' movie at the Citadel Monday night? I made a fantastic 37km ride to the theatre from Morinville, and the 15 back to St. Albert. I only thought it apporpriate that I bike to the bikey movies!

    I most definately saw you and your funky bike. I was wearing a red and black CANADA jersey with black shorts, you were sitting about 4 seats to my right! It's nice to put a face to the names I see on the forums. I wish I could have made it to more of the bike month events, but I should be attending the memorical CM ride and hopefully the ride-in movie.

    Bike month is drawing to a close and it will be nice to get a few days rest before I go and spend a week with Arvon Stacey, the builder of that lovely bike and so many others.

    Should be rather awesome.

    Man, does the weather ever suck this spring.

    I'm thinking it'll be June by the time the 5' pile of snow in my backyard (shady side of the house) is gone.

    It is sucking on a level I have not seen in decades...

    True that.

    Though, I think it's gotten quite a bit better since your post, the last few days have been pretty sunny and warm
    Anyone else still riding studded tires? I'm thinking I might swap for slicks this weekend.

    I watched a lady go down on some ice this morning... this freeze thaw cycles has been making things treacherous and although I have been riding stud-less I am usually out in the warmer hours and have to worry more about fender coverage and cleaning my bike.

    I am planning on coming into Edmonton on 23 or 24 September. Does anyone know of some good camp sites close to the city? South is better.

    The only campground that I know of in the city is on the south side. Check out http://www.rainbow-valley.com/ .

    Staged the 5th annual Tour de Perogy yesterday and think that the forecast deterred a good number of people from coming out but the ride was enjoyable, we got a bit of a cooling shower at the end of the first stage, and the ride back was one of the best ever. Sunny skies and a little wind crossing from the NE and some really good company.

    Am thinking that we should exploit this nice weather as much as possible and will probably go out next Sunday for 100km or mebbe a little more.

    Miquelon is pretty nice, but is like forty five minutes south of edmonton. There are a few rv parks just west of the city, but not really any campgrounds.
