Rode east last night, going east up York Mills from Yonge definitely sucked as much as I thought it would, but I didn't walk it at least The wind did a good job of kicking my ass most of the way south/east, but damn .. spinning high with 80GI available is scary quick (35mph down that hill Wilson toward Yonge - 145rpm?) - the difference is there's still plenty of "go" in her, man I love that - can just keep feeding it to the thing and I don't spin out. I love that work, the hill up from Bayview on York Mills was really nice to hit - the one from Yonge is just a bit too much for my comfort, I gave it what I could be bothered, then let it sag and just mashed the rest of the way (thank Dog for clipless/foot retention)

tdot-miele: What say you? I can ride east to Yonge-ish with you if you want company on Wilson. Other than some hairy pothole-ish areas, it's decent enough. Lemme know, else I'll be flying straight south down Keele.
