I went for a long ride last night and I always forget how crappy the roads can be in this city.

I took Keele all the way up to the 401 and man, there is broken glass everywhere, potholes that are actually holes and not just indentations in the tarmac, those sewer grates that are not chevroned but are the old style straight grab-your-wheel-and-kill-you type and people in their cars kept looking at me like I was some kind of rare bird or something.

I took Dufferin back down, thinking the hills would be fun (they were!) but I forgot about that super duper motherfkr between St.Clair and Davenport. That thing is steep and I missed the light and I couldn't stop fast enough so I had to bail..... Funny thing was, there were these two BMX kids pushing their bikes up the hill just when I jumped and they looked at me and I looked at them and I did that Pee-Wee Herman thing "I meant to do that!" and they looked at me like I was nuts. I guess that is an old-timers joke How embarassing!
