go outside!
rode along the laskeshore. it's clear of snow/ice, although there's lots of puddles, and twigs and **** (literally/figuratively).
i saw only one other cyclist. a fair number of joggers. a surprising number of cops too, considering i was mostly on the path.
there was a noticable temperature difference when i crossed the humber bridge and then back again. a chilly fog is laying over the center of toronto, but a strong southeast wind is pushing it west. neat conditions by the lake, anyway.

Now that's good timing. I start riding back to the office from the Linux Caffe just as that quick little bout of heavy rain starts. Now my pant(ie)s are soaked.
On the other hand, I did score a delicious portuguese custard tart and an espresso at Rosa's in Kensington. Mmmmm.. I had a craving that had to be fulfilled.
ps. cavernmech: you've totally created a monster by giving me one of those a couple weeks ago. I'm craving them constantly now. I can feel it going straight to my thighs..

I slapped some fenders on the Ciocc and rode, but dang is it messy out there. It is a nice day though and I wore some long shorts, figuring I would be less-filthy once I got home. Didn't work, I am a mess.

ps. I just googled "hidden cameras" and it returned an article with that title from Toronto Life about that altercation between the motorist and messenger in Kensington last year.

I have a quick question actually, for the mechanics: I think the chain is too long as I am jumping a couple of gears, can I use the magic link thingy that came with the chain (Ultegra 9-speed) to open the chain and then knock a couple of links off? Or is best to just use the chain-tool anywhere on the chain and use a new magic link thingy? Thanks for any help.

ehh? if you have a chain tool, why bother with a magic link thingy? i always removed links with a chain tool, and put chains back together with a chain tool. no magic link thingy here.
but it'll work either way.

damnit! I left work and my right pedal/crankarm/cleat/something felt a little weird and wobbly. It got worse really quickly and so I pulled in to check it out. I've been hearing a squeaking noise occasionally for the past few weeks and so I thought maybe my bottom bracket bit the dust or a crankarm had loosened or something.. turns out my pedal had unthreaded about 75% of the way. I next to La Carerra so I popped in to use a wrench and I couldn't get the pedal to thread in straight! Do you think I fawked the threads in the crankarm in that short distance? The ones on the pedal looked fine. grrr! Of course, I was so annoying I just torqued it in there anyway which probably will result in me toasting the threads on my eggbeaters as well, but I was *not* walking/ttc'ing it home.
Have bike. Will travel.
