Donut Run tomorrow? I'm going to give it a try.

We could do the donut run I guess, I haven't tried it but it seems like it would be fun. If any of us get pooped out I suppose we could just all drop together so we don't get lonely.

Well I plan to hold on as long as I can, I've been trying to get out to this pretty well all year, and the weather looks pretty good. (no rain!)

Ok, when/where?

Edit: Ok I know where (Eglinton + Laird), but when?
Edit^2: Ok I know when (9am)

We all on for this woo!

been working two straight weeks now, hope the weather will be good this coming December 11 and 12, hope no snow yet....then I will ride the D. run

Okay I'm going to try to get up nice and early so I can get up to laird and eglinton at a liesurely pace. I'll be bringing a pump, tools, patch kit, spare tube, band-aids, and delicious treats... do you think I need to bring my lock as well? its pretty heavy.

I'll bring my lock, but we're not really intending to leave our bikes for any extended period of time -> huge lock !necessary.

eglinton is a bad street for biking on isn't it? I guess early sunday morning its not really an issue

is there like a half eaten donut ride available? something less than 100k, that my mtb wont fall apart on? i need to get out and about, been cooped up finishing school garbage all week and next week.

I'm most likely not going to last the entire ride, we'll see how it goes tomorrow. You should go buy that norco bike kelly.

did any of you guys go on this ride?
I was up at 8:30 and rode up to Eglinton and Laird around 8:50 - 9. I stopped and looked at some of the bikes (looking for a silver fixed gear Spicer) but I didn't see it. Considering I hadn't eaten any sort of breakfast, was dressed in military cut-off cargo pants and also riding my fixed gear; I thought maybe this type of ride would be for another day......

just fyi, maybe you know it already: The Donut Ride is a SPANDEX RIDE. If you do not have spandex, you are not allowed. But seriously... how did it go?

I didnt make it... sick kids... not enough sleep, did a solo 40k and had a nap.

Not me, working this weekend, probably the weekend of December 11 and 12, and hope its still not snowing,
Skyelo, did you go, how was the group is it still a big group.
oscar

you should have joined the ride, its already half the ride

Well that was fun. Everything was okay up until we just got to keele. Some sort of sprint or something. Got dropped and never made contact with the peloton again. Ended up continuing up Keele and drafting some lady all the way up to Teston road when we finally gave up. I think it was like... 33k into the ride?

Wasted weasel we got there around 8:50 ish to 9. Bikes parked next to the garbage can.

That ride ... is fscking nuts. Main goal, stay with the peloton, yeah right. The group... was large, very large. Like 50-90 people. Hard to tell. But there were lots.

keele? I didn't know they headed west, I thought they went straight north?
can't find any posts relating to it, but is the donut run the same route each week?

Its the same route every weekend, west on eglinton, north on Bayview, after Sheppard, left on a side street, I don't know the name of the street, then, it goes north on Willowdale street, when it reach steel, right on Steeles Ave. turn right on Yonge then left again on the seconds street after the car dealer store, then a number of right and left turns, I don't know the name of the street, because of so many left and right turn I don't know the name of the sytreet that we have travelled, but its the same route everyweekend...

Basically what happens is we wind up north like Oscar said and then zig zag a lot just pass of steeles all while heading west towards keele. Then it goes north... from there on, no idea how it goes.

then it goes north up to king road (right) then goes east all the way to Yonge street, (shorter Route)
to Grandma's Bake shop, the longer route the group passed King road still go north, have a break at Grandmas, then head to Willowdale lake up North to Bayview ...............

I had fun too, we thought we were doing pretty well keeping up with the group, but when they turned on the gas we didn't stand a chance. Still, I ended up doing 100k over the day and got some damn good exercise. I felt kind of bad for the girl we were drafting but there was no way I could have teken lead at that point!

that's what happen to me when we did our first Group ride, never got the chance to lead the small group, that rode with us.

God biking today sucked... bad.

oh come on.... that was a riot. Road fixed today, 8:30am fish-tailing through every intersection, %20 visability and blowing snow.
My girlfriend left the house half an hour before I did (I was even still in bed), said she saw me blow by the bus she was sitting on heading to Broadview station.

1 inch of snow and this city is crippled, sad.
