I'm heading back to Whitby shortly, hope I can make it back into town for 7... I still plan on going to the ride, but work's been hellishly busy so who only knows.

Came home fairly late last night after some hill training on Eglinton W and dodging the periodically awful road surfaces/rushing-for-the-401-ramp vehicles.

Almost got slammed by a dump truck/trailer combo today, based on what I saw the guy didn't seem too shy of rubbing up to the curbs right the way up Keele. He moved over a bit for his main truck, but seemingly forgot about his trailer, was a touch unnerving. Turd. (Just glad there was a bus lane for me to brake/wait in for him to pass.)

Now I have the fun job of dismantling my bike to fit in a car for a highway trip to the office... Hopefully I'll get away with just the front wheel off.
