Thanks guys! I'm a quarter of a century old now!
I heard that they might be playing on a street corner damn I wish I had caught that. Give me a ring when you're done Ryan, I'm just heading to Kensington to buy bread and then I'll be back home.

^^no silly^^ Jack White... his producing Loretta Lynn's comeback album netted her a Grammy...he's the real deal.
TORONTO -- Alt-rockers the White Stripes have surprised dozens of children with an impromptu rock show at a Toronto daycamp.
More than 65 children between the age of five and 12 sat in a semi-circle on the floor to catch a five-song set by bandmates Jack White and Meg White.
Fans who had heard about the show headed to the YMCA where the show was held after hearing about the concert by word of mouth, text messages and on websites.
Most were turned away by security, who said the concert was for the kids.
Two children were called forward by singer Jack White to sing songs of their choice; one small boy sang a part of the R&B song "I Believe I Can Fly."
A YMCA spokesperson says he thought it was a prank when the band's manager contacted him about the show.
No offense to Dan intended.

That Loretta Lynn album is awesome. I love Portland Oregon, featuring Jack himself singing a duet. Great stuff.

Has anyone seen those coffee holders that sit on the front bars of a bike for sale in Toronto? I think they would be great for the morning commute, are they pricey?

I hear there's a river trail in the Don that might (should?) be rideable for the cx bike. Can anyone Google Maps that bad boy for me so I know where to find it? Or ... if anyone ever wants to go on an easy ride and watch the new guy slap himself around, I'm game.

It goes something like this:
https://www.stridemaps.com/maps/view/95
Careful at this time of year though, you can really get tearing through there and it's non-directional. The grass grows tall enough that there are some blind corners. Best to do it at off peak hours!

something like this, starting at pottery road:
https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1112497
I can't really map it all properly using the satellite map because it's under tree cover, but that'll get you started. Basically, once you go over the little bridge off the paved trail you hang a right, and then like 20' up the gravel trail you'll see a path through the woods. Go in there and keep following it. Eventually you'll come to the railway (around 1km on my link), hang a right and keep following it north.

for the record i just got back from a ride in the lower don on my cross bike. it is totally doable and fun-tastic! (just let some air out of your tires).
on another note, the "chorizo argentino" empanadas from the guy next to segovia meats in kensington are quite simply pure awsomeness wrapped in pastry. that is all.

Hey MTB peeps... has anyone ridden the newly re-opened porcupine ridge trails up in Bracebridge @ Santa's Village? My usual up north riding spot has OCup stuff there this weekend so it's not an option, but I keep hearing that Porcupine ridge is crazy super technical triple black diamond. Is it really that much more technical than the upper don, Albion, Kelso, etc.?
