Nice pics guys, sounds like everyone had a good ride My ride was limited to going to the CN Tower and back today At least I smashed my record again. I'm not as elite as you, Jeremy, but I got 15:55 this time. Still didn't run any of it, but my cardio was the let-down - legs didn't feel as though I'd done anything other than a bit of warm-up griping they did in the first 30-40 flights.
Next climb will be tougher to get a new PB, I better start treating myself a bit better and build some strength up

Oh yeah, anyone have any tips for pedal removal when they're toighter than a toiger? I've got my drive-side off, but the left is being a stubborn little *****, I've WD-40d it to try and loosen anything off in there, too. I've been wedging a thick screwdriver between the other crank and frame to try and get leverage but it's not moved enough for me to get it loose, and the parktool site is down with their tips! I've been using both a pedal wrench and allen key.

Edit: and yeah, I'm turning it the right way (anti-clockwise for left, IIRC - I must've got it right, as I undid the driveside - and that's a clockwise un-do, the backwards way).
