I think I'm gonna pass this time around... lookin' pretty wet in my neck of the woods. Hopefully it'll clear a bit for kensington this aft!

Ya, if my deck is still wet than the Don's no better.

In Austria opening your door with your lefthand and/or not doing a complete shoulder check when opening the door = automatic test failure.

I think I'm still gonna head over there for a looksee, if anyone cares to join. I'm up and itching for a ride anyway, so I figure I might as well. Enviro Canada says we only had a light rain shower around 2:00/3:00.

ps. what's the name of the bakery next to Cheese Magic in Kensington?

Bakery Magic? :D

Light rain you can still ride the upper Don, slippery hills and wet logs, that almost sounds fun.
However the single track just gets wet like a sandy beach, almost impossible ride through.

neEEed cofFee...wiLL riDe

Seeing as the weather's a write off this weekend, anyone up to planning a bit of a group ride at Albion or Kelso next weekend? Long range forecast is looking good and I'd be happy to throw another bike and rider in my car if we head up.

So... how was it?

What? Damnit.

The don today! Wes was gonna check it out anyhow.

Anyone got a 26mm clamp quill stem? Preferably in parkdale and right now or soonish :p I am willing to travel too!

Don was fun..a little greasy but no nasty mishaps to speak of. A better wet tire on the rear would have been nice but steering traction was o.k. Good times! No car doors to speak of either :D There were a few other riders but for the most part we didn't really run into anyone on the trail.

What length do you need Brad? I am gonna be here till 1 or so.

D'oh! Should have gone!

100mm or so... I'm just gonna pop over. See you in a few!

Coffee in the market or something anyone?

I might be up for that, but something tells me I already have plans. Ask again mid-week.

What he said.. mostly. My front wheel washed out after that last little downhill (with the berm-turn) before the big climb up to the place where there was construction under the bridge. Just a scraped knee and a bruised hip. No biggie. It was slick though.. pretty similar to that first time the two of us went in.

I'm cleaning out the bike shed today. Maybe later though.

will be heading to the market once i get my act together...

Thanks again Keith! It's perfect, and it looks purdy on my bike too :D

Thanks to Fuzzz for the downtube shifters. Further to the discussion Pyze and Mike and I had about cycling caps, there's some other pics here and if you go into the directory "cycle" there's a pattern with some instructions in pdf. http://james.architectureburger.com/cycle/cap.html

blickblocks has a thread going on it too: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=292333

I saw a Cannondale track frame on the Canadian Cyclist classifieds section. It is a 56cm frame and it is 350$CDN for the frame, fork and headset; maybe someone here can use the info.

Damn tall people why can't I find a local c-dale track (the blue alu kinds from the mid 90s) in my size ever.
Atleast this one isn't the right model. Saves me some frustration.

Us real tall people usually look at these ads and say "damn short people..." :)
