Yeah, if they pin it I'm thinking it will help me pinner!

Say, if the Masters Worlds ever come back to Mont-Sainte-Anne, I'm in! That's an event like no other.

Nice! The Quebec City region is really nice and I'd definitely make a weekend out of it and head out that way. I love that area.

I want to go for a ride, but it's raining :(

Hopefully it will stop and leave me with some fun, fun mud :D

Last night I dreamt that I could wheelie.

Paddle boats can be a real sufferfest when you have to pedal the boat by yourself, let alone 3 miles of it. Right now I am about as sore as I was when I crashed in May.

Love that pic of Braggi!

It feels awesome to be sprinting down a hill and notice that you're pacing cars that are doing 60mph =]]

That first one is *crazy,* nice work.

I would love to come spend some time out that way!!! I just don't see it in my near future. :(

Another photo from this past weekend... one that i thought was a little odd.

Hey D, I hope you dont mind, but on a certain local MTB forum there's a long running thread entitled "Beautiful bikes - post them here". I threw up this photo of your Blindside:

To a warming reception. Someone asked if it was a BOS fork :lol: .

I think it's more the look of the bike of a poseur hack.

Pretty slick setup there.

Are you going to find time to hammer out some loops at Tsali?

mtnbiker66 07-17-08 09:26 PM

Yeah,Hambone and I are leading a group ride there on Saturday. I'm not too excited about it, I think we're gonna try to run shuttles on Turkey Chute Friday evening.

Phwoarrrrrrrrrr!

I spent $140 at the bike shop last night :lol:

Oneal Full-finger gloves, RJay's [Aussie brand I believe] Helmet, Tri-flow Oil and some brake pads.

I know the guy at the bike shop because of my regular visits, and I'm doing work experience there in September, so he hooked me up with all the top quality things :D

I was organizing my Sunday morning ride with my buddy and he wanted to ride road. I kept pushing for mountain but it turns out he had lent his mountain bike to his father-in-law.

We ended up doing laps at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve (Montreal's Formula 1 track) for about 2 hours. The track is set up for cyclists and rollerbladers and since it is a racetrack that means there are no cross streets to deal so it was a nice steady ride. I would have preferred hitting the dirt but it was a nice easy way to spend Sunday morning chewing the fat with my buddy while riding along.

Luke52 07-20-08 07:04 PM

Goddamit.

I replaced my brake pads the other day, then gave my bike a good lube. Tri-flow on the chain, all the cables etc.

I put a few drops around where my crank goes in to the bottom bracket, and now it's making creaking and clunking noises.. :cry:
