i'm sure Dom didn't ignore you on purpose. were you wearing the captain america gloves? maybe she didn't recognise you out of costume...

So due to the mtn bike racing schedule and Shizzy's imminent return, I will throw out Sept 1st as the tentative date for the East-West Challenge. There are no other events (well Ziggys mtn bike race is the same day but meh) and this gives us plenty of time to get it organized up right. Anyone have a prob with this date?

$560! Okay, this is officially your last chance to offer up some money for a great cause. The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation offers all sorts of services to people living with HIV/AIDS around the GTA - everything from food bank programs, physiotherapy, emplyment assistance, et al. These are programs entirely funded by public donations that go a huge way to improve the lives of people living with a terrible illness. If anyone can pledge even $5 or $10 that's still going to buy meals for several people in the food bank program (even a little bit will make a big difference).

Okay, that's it! Sunday we're off ... the shop will be open (skeleton crew in effect) but Elaine, Phil, Sherri and myself will all be en route to Montreal for the week. If anyone needs bagels/illegal cigarettes, let me know soon. ;)

The wife is working tonight so I was thinking of going out for a mellow cruise w/ bevvies this evening...perhaps along the lake. Anyone interested?

Hi Filipe!

Lawsuit on the way... Wes you should have said, make like a grade 7 and use a pencil, or even better, don't use anything and throw it in the btm of your backpack.

Hi guys!

I'm in Stirling/Bridge of Allan Scotland! I'm off to Manchester tomorrow, London sunday, and then Dublin next week for CMWC. I've only been here one day and I'm already ecstatic about the amazing cycling here! There are real hills. Thank dog I brought my road bike and not my track bike (am I even aloud to say that on this crazy forum?!! 'Cause I just did). I hope you guys have a great August and sorry I didn't get to say bye to many of yous but I love you all. In a platonic way. Except you Rob. See you in September! Seacrest out!

Well now that Chicken is disgraced it looks like my skinny ass has no even skinnier role model to look up to when I go up the rockies. Where can I get some of this 'Ecopure'?
