Nice re: the Leadville 100 film.

Might get some of the glove-versions of those Pyze, as I need something to replace my wool gloves that are a bit too cold once it gets below 0, and my ski gloves are overkill until it gets stupid-cold (like in that horrific wind last week!)

Not been bike commuting the past couple of weeks and honestly I'm enjoying the break (started with some sickness/recovery, now I'm just back from being out of town so I have to get back into the groove).

Got some new (read: cheap/on sale) shoes for winter (read: disposable regular season shoes) so I'll probably break those out tomorrow.

I found a great alternative commute route, too. From Queen/Roncesvalles to Sheppard/Leslie I used to take Lansdowne->Dupont->Avenue Rd->Kilbarry->Lascelles (Park) -> Chaplin -> Duplex -> Fairlawn -> Yonge ->Sheppard, which is a fine route excepting the awful hill down and then up again at Yonge/York Mills-401.

My alternative is skipping Yonge totally and only going up as far as Montgomery (Broadway) on Duplex and then across to Bayview, then take that north. I've done the reverse trip this way and it was pretty decent.

It's been averaging about an hour/1:15 depending on wind/tiredness on the old route so I guess I'll see how it goes.

Been kind of non-bikey the past few weeks, and it feels kinda wrong .. almost treacherous. I guess I should jump back on

edit: Orin - cool name! Welcome to the world!
