Anyone else watching the Prologue stage of the tour? Russia is kicking ass so far. Lots of fancy looking bikecycles.

Hey guys, quick Cylco-cross question: will the wheels in the ad posted above work for a road bike? Specifically with 105 brakes. I ask because it seems that the machined surface is wider than the usual road bike rims that I have seen and I would be buying them for use on my Razesa which has some 105 brakes that I like and wouldn't consider switching.

Them ain't good eatin 'tall
Anyone going out for the Global Gutz this year? I hear the race itself is this Friday the 13th, 21 km, easy navigation, a speed race. I'm not racing myself but I'm helping with the local fundraiser. We've collected a great list of prizes from local shops & businesses, not all of them are up on the website yet, they haven't put up my last round of additional prizes/sponsors, but that's how it goes with an all-volunteer army, it'll be updated soon.
You may remember last year we gave away a good chunk of stuff and managed to raise up enough cash to send 2 Toronto messengers to Sydney, Australia to compete for us at the CMWC? This year as you may know it's in Dublin, which comparably is right down the street! We've gotten more support form the local community and we hope to raise even more than last year, we're going to try to send 4-6 messengers to Dublin to represent T.O.
So buy buy buy our fundraiser tickets! There are great prizes, something for everyone,
some rather exclusive, like the jerseys from The Messengers International,
some just plain classics, like the Brooks B-17 from Cycle Therapy,
some are expensive!, like the Kona frame from Sweetpete's,
some are for lazy people, like the gift certificates for labour or tune ups from Bike Clinic,
or the gift certificates for free local deliver form The Messengers International,
or the gift certificates for labour/tune-up from SweetPete's
some are Tasty! like the Dinner for 2 from La Palette (local only)
some are toothbrushes, like the Oral-B electric toothbrush from United Smiles of Kensington!
some are heavy, like the Kryptonite NYC STD from The Bike Joint,
or the Krypto STD w/cable from Bike Clinic,
some are wearable, like the wind jacket & socks the Urbane Cycles,
some can be used to carry the others, like the 4-5 bags from Push & UTW,
some can be used as hubs, like the Formula Hub set from Cycle Therapy!
some make you faster, like the gift certificates for a Yoga Spin Class from Yo Spyngo,
some can be worn on the head, like the Hats from SweetPete's,
some are brake levers, like the Tektro brake levers from Cycle Therapy,
some can be exchanged for a much needed facial, like the gift cert. for a facial from Aesthetic Services
by Cidalia Lopes (local only)
some can convince a guy to build up your wheel for free(labour only), like the Free Wheel Build from Shannen at Bikes on Wheels (local only)
some will stylishly protect your toptube, like the top tube pad from UTW,
some can be worn like t-shirts, like th t-shirts from various sponsors,
and many more to come!
We'll be having a party, I believe it'll be July 22nd, at a location TBA to give out prizes, drink heartily and wish the messengers well on their way to Dublin to (hopefully) step on some necks and bring home the bacon, but definitely to have a good time. You do have to be a messenger to win a trip to Dublin, but everything else is up for grabs!
the link is in my sig, be sure to check back to see your odds increase as more prizes are added, right now we've got over $2200.00 in prizes with more on the way! more tickets = better odds!
Top o' the morning o ya!
Tell your friends, buy them tickets, this is open to everyone as is the race, the after party and the GG prize party a week later!

Hey Sam
Looks good. Cavern's on Queen East, though. It says Queen West on the main page.
