Offhoff: do it! Road racing is the ****! F*ck MTB (sorry guys). I regularly do the CNE, even now, and you'll find guys there most evenings after dark once the weather gets a touch better. Otherwise, there's a quality fast-paced ride every Thursday leaving from high Park, and of course the infamous donut ride. You can find me at any of these rides on a regular basis. Also, I should give a plug to my club, who does a learn-to-race weekly program (check out midweekclub.ca for more info). Aside from being affiliated with them, it is an excellent program (I can say so b/c I did it myself)

OK, PM me if you want to ride sometime.
