must have....data

DrBenway 09-27-07 02:37 PM

I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight guys and trust me, you're better off. I've been sick the last couple days with a mad oozy cold.

However, if everyone is free next Wednesday, I've finished the flyer for that regular thing I mentioned. The idea is fun. And a good excuse to get together regularly. I'd also like to keep it going through the winter if possible:

Dare I ask....fixed or open to SS?

somnambulant 09-27-07 02:42 PM

FixedJamaican: well played. :) Mine says that it has left the USA as of yesterday.. woo. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

My idea was that this would be kinda "our" thing. You know, the Toronto crew. That said, I was thinking the idea was to get together and have fun. So if you're riding fixed and are up to racing a roadie or SS'r, knock yourself out. Personally, I'm looking to meet up, have a good time and if all goes well maybe improve a few more riding skills.

Anyone have any ideas for a decent music solution? Ideally, something that people can hook iPods into and play a few tracks. Power seems to be the only barrier I keep running into, but there's always people at CM with decent set-ups.

shapelike 09-27-07 03:20 PM

Well, since all I have is my cx bike right now I guess my lane is the dirt shoulder, but I'm in for sprints.

"We've secretly slipped a kicker into Mike's line without him knowing. Let's see if he notices" *table top gap jump* "Well played, sir." <-- This is how things play out in my head.

Edit: Wait, the Ex? ****, I guess that means I'm on the lawn.

Sounds fun. I'm in but I expect I'll likely just meet at the ex rather than riding east and then west again. Couldn't stay outta the hood eh Ryan? :)

Flimflam 09-27-07 03:52 PM

Awesome looking design, Ryan - really like it. Not sure if I'm going to be any good with sprints, but meh.. I could always try :)

Check out the plot outline of this rivetting looking movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075830/ :p

Wes/Brad - you guys going tonight? One/both of you want to ride over all together like?

zippered 09-27-07 04:04 PM

^^ ahem... me toooooo!

more the merrier. we're just sitting down to eat... *now*

Flimflam 09-27-07 04:12 PM

oops, sorry zippered! - I'm just finishing up dinner too - what time you guys thinking of heading over? I can knock-on for you and we can jet from your place...

I make it a personal point to circle around on Pearson if I'm heading to Queen or Dundas from Sorauren or heading home off Ronces, I'll circle the block - another half a click and extra cool down time is good cakes, IMO.

Huh, weird, did you wish me a good ride the other day? My mom lives on Marion close to Roncy and as I was hopping on my Roubaxi, a guy on a purple Centurion (nice bike, looked like a full 600 ride) said "Have a good ride!".

I usually say ridiculously upbeat crap like that, so possibly could've been me, yep. I'm on a white/purple Centurion LeMans...

Thanks for the offer, I just ended up buying at the Wal-Mart. I know I will watch it a million times so it will be worth the money. The best line in that movie:

Definitley worth buying. I hardly say that for anything.

Oh man, did I mention that, or did the internet discover my IRL identity today? The cog isn't on my bike yet, tho I plan to put it on tonight, when I get home. Riding 50x18 on my current setup is making me laze... I should bust out the CAAD9 for my commute tomorrow.

Anyone going to critical mass tomorrow?

There's only one good reason why i'd know :)

Flimflam 09-27-07 09:07 PM

Thanks again nerdgirth, likely saved me a trip over that cab and possible early grave :)

Maybe, not sure ... I think I have a hot date with duppy.

I_bRAD 09-27-07 09:40 PM

I will be at the critical mass tomorrow!

BTW - demonoid is down because of a server rebuild not because it was shut down.

Win.

Movies were good, got to see the infamous Nike promo spot :D I'd never seen Tribe before either, which was neat.

Thanks again Keith - and for the pie!

Yep, I live on Marion - I pretty much always wear my hi-vis vest, so I'm fairly easy to pick out if you see me around.
