We'll have to do another ride soon, that was fun.

perhaps to the bluffs next time? with some food packed!
re routes in t.o.: the leslie spit is great for a weeknight jaunt. those side trails are new. don't forget the 2007 cycling map just came out. for those of you who are new in town, check out the martin goodman trail heading west towards oakville (during off-peak times!) and beyond.

Highlights from the weekend:
Toby slowin' us up with a flat during the fixed gear symposium ride...
Wu-Tang Forever! Or is it Poon-Tang Forever?
What u think of that Bill?
Toby being Toby...
Aerospoke *****...
Met and chatted with the owner of this jaw-dropping custom painted Pista Concept
The bike felt like it weighed all of 12 lbs.
This is pure sex:

HA!!
That reminds me of a guy who came into the shop today for some new pedals on his Specialized Allez, he ran to the grocery store while I was installing them and I noticed that his old pedals were only threaded about 3/4 of the way in so I just unscrewed them with my hands.
Then as I was tightening the new pedals I grabbed the rear wheel for some leverage and the whole wheel just popped off! So I realized that the guy just tightened the quick releases as much as he could without closing the lever, the thought of going off a curb and having your front wheel come off is no fun.
When the guy got back I had to teach him how to properly use his quick releases.

Misfit Psycles, the FU bar, I bought one of there closeout sale scratched ones for $25, not sure if they are worth paying full price. Awesome bar though.

A friend lent me some Zipp 404 tubular rims last summer for my ride across the country. I didn't get a chance to use them, and they are still sitting in my garage. I am thinking of throwing them on my Devinci, are they going to be harder to ride in the city?

That said, I don't ride off curbs and the like, so I'm good on wheels. But I want to try them out, since I cannot imagine spending that kind of money on a wheelset.
