Speaking of baking cookies, mowing a lawn, or doing your homework...I could do one or all of these for you if you can help a brotha out.
My partner's cousin is visiting from Korea and I am taking him to the family cottage for the weekend. A favour to ask: Does anyone have a LARGE BEATER of a mtn bike that I could borrow for the weekend so we could cover the most Halliburton territory possible? Thanks.

I may have been thinking of the one at Christie Pits... I remember thinking it was weird that it was empty. That was late Saturday afternoon.

Call me The Breeze
I think Bike Polo is more of a West side thing 
Here's my vote:
225 Campbell Ave.
I just rode up there and scoped it out. It's big: like 50X25m, also Its locked and still flooded. There are basketball nets up there though, so I assume once it dries out they'll open it up.
It's also right next door to Yasi's place in case you've got the need for some bike-hippie free love.
Ride tonight? Undecided.

what about where everyone did the ice racing this past winter, on bathurst? That might be a good place for polo.

So....it's assault when you wave the mallet in a threatening manner, but assault and battery when you clobber someone about the head and shoulders correct? These are questions a traveling lawyer needs to be able to answer on the fly as the mallet is perched on the shoulder.

Now in order to be a roving lawyer for the likes of Hunter S. types (RIP) you must be able to dispense said advice, disarming your clients' murderous intent while holding a full glass of scotch on the rocks and trackstanding to impress the ladies and only notice out of the corner of your eye that your client is about to commit a class 'A' bodily harm felony..

yeah.. I just made some pesto and gorged myself. Feeling pretty lazy.. plus the wind on the ride home didn't really make me too anxious to get back out there. I think I'll take a rain(wind)-check on the ride.
Also: mtb ride on Thursday at around 6:30 or 7:00.

If I die while riding my bike, it's because I was looking at some hawt girl riding a similar type of vehicle.
