Anyone have a sweet front brake they want to sell me? Foo? My cheapie is pooched. PM me. I talked to Polly (recycle) and he told me that his new website was going to have bike interviews with "amature pornstars and cult musicians". Can't wait!

just got home early from my roundtrip bike tour to manitoulin island... made it so far as to circle the island and back to tobermory, before i realized we had slept in an enormous patch of poison ivy the night before, and now i was being eaten alive. called it in, boyfriend came to pick me up... feeling pretty depressed right now for not finishing. in total, covered about 500km over 5 days. but. now i am going to climb hills like a monster.

canice, I wouldn't feel too bad, a metric century every day for 5 days is very impressive. What type of bike were you on?

I thought Niagara was ~100mi? Or is this a significantly different route?
