Ah weird - I must've just been behind you all without realising, as I went all the way over to Lansdowne today (wanted to show the little one those neat light displays on the houses ).

I had true doubts on the "hill" start at Dundas/Lansdowne (heading south over Dundas there's a fair hump when you've an extra 100lbs in the back ) but I clipped in and hauled us over into a nice downhill under the railway bridge I do usually take Brock now, and the same shortcut across that you and Brad showed me. I've stayed away from Brock since it thawed and re-froze last weekend, I didn't fancy running into black ice down there, but haven't done much cross town riding with the holiday junk going on.

+1 to storing bike inside at work and at home, massively grateful I'm able to do that.

In other news, I'm 15kms away from 6000 on that road bike since May. Considering it was a freebie, it's held up incredibly well, too - I've treated it pretty badly really - go Centurion I guess!
