huh.. the flyer said "cash prizes for GC podium".. Maybe that was just for the special people that aren't in S3/4. :P I would have gladly taken a free beer coupon if you hadn't hogged them all! :D

somnambulant 10-28-07 03:35 PM

awesome photos mike+sara. Some serious gold in there. :D

shapelike 10-28-07 03:58 PM

How deep the prize list went depended upon how many starters there were. In our group the prizes went 5 deep as we had 20+ starters. Yours only went 1-2. I also was hanging around the podium when several guys I know got their prizes...the term "hey Keith..do you want my beer?..I don't drink" came up rather frequently.....I came home with 2 more 6's and 3 more coupons. That makes a total of 42 beers for the weekend....not a bad haul. If anyone is gonna be in Guelph in the near future let me know.

Do I know Rick?

No, no I don't.

somnambulant 10-28-07 07:58 PM

Rick races for La Bicicletta.. he's often on the side of the course during our race. Seems like a good guy.. I always give him a face and he always laughs. :P

ps. great shot of today's Other Runup during the 11:30 start: http://www.ontariocycling.org/web_im...so_2_jam_1.jpg

Holy hill-jam batman :eek: :)

As I was scrolling through shapelikes' pictures, each picture I came to was like "ah yep, this one takes the `angry` award" until I got to this one...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2013/...0c66f2.jpg?v=0

That's a helluva serious "Take no prisoners" look, Keith :D The caption on flickr says it all ;)

Looked like a fun weekend, congrats guys.

Edit: Today I passed a fair milestone (for me anyway) - my ODO ticked past 3000 miles (~4800km) on the roadie since May 7th when I got it going. Another 100-ish miles puts me at 5000km I think.

I was gonna post that in here last week but didn't want to publicly admit to reading hypebeast.

MattRennick 10-29-07 07:17 AM

Can someone PM me with Rob's phone number or email address? A friend (who doesn't post here) wants to get in touch.

Thanks!

cavernmech 10-29-07 07:29 AM

Hey Wes...did you happen to get a decent pic of me in costume on Sat.? If so can you send me a copy...mine didn't turn out so hot.

Nope, sorry.. I didn't touch the camera at all on Saturday I don't think. Unless you specifically remember me taking a photo. :P

Way to go Wes!!! And all y'all for puttin' the hurt on.

Hrm. I wonder how Nadir feels about those pics being posted... seeing as the bikes are supposed to be "revealed" at the show on the 17th. But since we're on the topic, I was in on Saturday as the Futura bike came back from the photog - oh man they're sweet pics - and got to gently caress their loveliness. It's mind boggling to be holding a frame only whilst being told it's insured for more than most houses. And that "Netti" said this or that about them... as in "Netti" Colnago! I don't go to strip clubs, I go to bike shops.

Ps. - Anyone go to the race yesterday afternoon? The city race.

shapelike 10-29-07 09:15 AM

Keith, best I could come up with: http://picasaweb.google.com/r.meloff...82340998090658. Maybe the guy(s) at http://cycling.photos.us.com will have shots of you in costume posted in a few days.

somnambulant 10-29-07 12:22 PM

I just quickly updated the Senior3/4 standings for our cx series and I'm in 4th overall and shapelike's in 7th. Go team independent! :P

They keep listing Mike as an independent but he rides for Caledon Hills club no?

shapelike 10-29-07 12:49 PM

Other way around, they started w/ the Caledon Hills thing but I had them change it. Apparently there's a guy out there who races w/ the same name as me (same middle initial even).

PS. I saw Brad outside my window during the Day of the Dead parade (Harbord/Ossington).

shapelike 10-29-07 01:59 PM

Brad, that photo looks like you're about to sexually assault someone in ways I never knew possible.
