Definitely a nice 'noni, sweet man.

+1 on what length, Wes? I have stock IRO cranks and I think 75s would be a nice thing to upgrade to.

TJ: I've ridden Jane from Bloor to Hwy 7 before - it's not too bad (though it was -15 last time I was up there, less issues on the road in that weather) - heading north is going to be a bit ****ty with the incline - I wouldn't personally recommend Eglinton to traverse across, bit too busy in places for my liking (like around Leslie/deathzone) - other than that, Yonge isn't too bad IMO for a straight haul north, I'd head west until you get across the Don, then head north of Bloor from there. Davenport for east/west is nice for the most part. The very western side of St. Clair W sucks hard, and that whole street is rolling hills with intermittent construction and general ballbaggery - so don't bother with that IMO.

Pyze: you done with the chainwhip? I should grab that from you when possible.
