Yay for rain... heh. Was about to head into the core for dinner when it just opened right up, so I decided to assign it to Captain Fuck.it and go for a walk instead.

Pretty much snapped my brake cable last night, so I've been cautiously riding around effectively brakeless - definitely keeps you on your toes not having that safety net Need to check my lever->cable bridge angles and see why it frayed/wore through in the first place. Bike's taking a beating anyway - done a tad over 500k in the last 10 days

For those still interested in the Mean Streets 200k...

The ride starts at 8:00am sharp at Allenby Public School located at Avenue Road and Castlefield. There is a parking lot right on Avenue road that we have used in the past. Please arrive by 7:45 so we have time for all the fun administrative stuff. As with all brevets please make sure you wear your helmet, have front and rear lights and that you have a safety vest or sash. Back up lights are recommended.
vainglorious, I won't be able to ride up tomorrow as I'm helping a buddy move house - would you want to do that ride on Monday? If not, we can go another weekend.
