Speaking of the Don, anyone got the word on when the DSR rides there are going to start up? I seem to have settled into a Tuesday/Thursday evening ride routine but it's always nice to share the fun with others.

My last trip to the Don was actually a lot of fun after I stopped feeling like I was going to black out. I realized afterward that it was probably my cycling cap that did me in (hey genius, it's not winter anymore - you can lose the warm stuff). I felt like I was overheating after ... what, maybe 10-15 minutes of riding, but when I took a break (and ditched the cap) I felt much better for the rest of the ride and actually ended up have my best ride "back" along the ridge trail ever. I'm starting to get better with some of the ladder features and other areas where you really do have to hold your line. It's one thing to pick the right line, but having it be a "hold it or you're going to crash" situation is still something I'm getting comfortable with. It's coming along though, so yay.
