Awesome perhaps you want to ride down with me and join the U of T guys for a ride next Saturday? I'm tentatively scheduling it for then.

Anyone going to the city of toronto auction tomorrow? I'm going to see if I can find any gems that I can take apart for pieces and maybe a bmx or two to mess around on. Heres a link: http://www.mckenzieauction.com/upcom...10231001.shtml

It starts early tomorrow morning so I'm gonna be hung over for sure. I'm planning on getting there a little before 9am, because the bidding starts at 9:30, so I want to have a good look at them.

Ya im good for a ride :) umm you guys dont actually ride all the way down to UofT do you?? My bikes falling apart, i have questions!

I ride down to the U of T everyday. Sometimes I cheat on the way back and take the Go Train.

Shiz - check the goon meet board!

All past attempts to start a roadie club at UofT have failed, but I think we could do pull it off next year. I've talked to a few guys (including the VP) in the MTB club and they may join with us for a few rides. Moreover, they're out best bet for support on this. SAC isn't handing out much club money this year, but I think we should make a concerted effort come this spring. The real challenge is going to be finding enough regular members to warrant official club status. I was thinking we could run a few free clinics on things like basic bike maintenance and how to commute safely to UofT. SAC (being so left-leaning) will eat this up and I'm glad to host either event. SAC would even help us promote these events and they would go a long way to demonstrating our legitimacy. I'm totally committed to getting a UofT road club up and running next year!

Failing that, we could start a commuter club, where we could help find secure underground parking, fix flats, help exchange old Krypto locks, et cetera.

Operator, thats crazy! but awesome. to school and back for me is about 30kms, can do it in under hour an and a half, dang uphills...

So that means you'll join us for a ride next Sat? (Shiz, qqy, skyelo, me?)

I'm still rooting for a roadie club, something akin to the TBN, with weekend rides.

you talkin to me operator? where you guys riding to? i wanna ride i wanna ride i wanna ride

That includes you, it'd be great to have 5 guys.

itd almost be a peloton!

what about tomorow?

i sent you an email operator... you guys have to show me how to stay still on my bike without falling over

Why don't you losers take it offline. your pathetic attempts at arranging some lame half assed wimpy ride don't belong in the forums.

I'm down like a clown. ggy, I recently got banned from SA for clicking on a malicious link by mistake, which subversively posted an autoban thread.. haven't been able to read the forums since (they won't restore my account and I'm not feeding them more money). I'm going on a 90km fixed gear ride tomorrow with some dudes I never met, weather permitting. Hands permitting too; I was tooling around on my friends bmx and bailed onto my hands, spraining my wrists. Then later on in the day I was doing track stands and bailed again onto my hands... man.. my wrists are freaking killing me. Anyways, I'm rambling.

Shiz - damn, that sucks. I hope that wasn't a link from FYAD. Regardless, we're have a small gathering at my place sometime soon. It's just gonna be an gaming/video meet, no going out somewhere lame. I'll email you details. I'm also running a strict invite only policy to prevent a few people from showing up (esp. Kitarner after his ****** impersonation).

Operator - I'm more than glad to ride with you guys, but what's the pace going to be and what's the distance/destination? I'd happily lead a ride along the waterfront and over to St. Catherines if you're interested. What kinds of gearing are you guys using (fixies?)? I'm geared up for winter, but Saturday looks very nice (~18*C). There's a good chance of rain, so maybe Sunday would be better?

I was just thinking for a short ride like... 20-30k's from St. George subway station to the spit and back. Or for a longer one with a nice crappy hill (thanks Shiz :D), north to Sunnybrook park from riverdale park. That would be breaking 50k. The pace should be nice an leisurely ride like averaging 25kph and less. It's a test run and no one is going to be zooming at TDF speeds.

I'm on an old road bike myself.

Never got email :/ Might have gotten lost in the spam. Check this thread for updates.

Sounds fun - I'll bring my commuting/touring bike and not the racer. I can't confirm that I'll be able to make it, but I'll probably be studying at UofT on Sat. Can meet up with you guys afterward.

ggy, email me at shiznaz(at)rogers.com
I'm actually living with another goon right now, who happens to be a class act. He's taking a year off from going to Mac, and working in the city.
I have a feeling you live pretty close to me. We are in the Bathurst & Bloor area.

Oh and I figured out what that noise was, it wasn't my keys. The BB was shot (pitted to hell). Had it replaced at the LBS on Friday when incidentally I hit the back of a car.

yall can email me at skyelo@gmail.com. Are we up for saturday or sunday or friday? Oh and what about Critical Mass? Any takers?
And if anybody wants a gmail account they can email me.

peace

I'm scheduling it at cancelled.

Edited: Crappy rain.

I'll have to let you know about that one. My mother is in from France for the week and she is leaving Sunday, so I might have to spend the day with her Saturday...
