Also, La Bicicletta is carrying Rapha for "good" prices (https://www.labicicletta.com/edatcat/...category=Rapha).. eg. bib shorts direct from rapha website in ukp = £120 = $256 cdn. From La Bicicletta? $228. So, probably doesn't make sense to buy stuff there and send it back. Although they also have $195usd listed on the website, which is only $205cdn. I'm confused! In fact, $205 doesn't seem totally outrageous for high-end bibs. Pearl-Izumi Aerosensor Bibs are listed on the P-I website for $180usd.
edit: also, here's one of the Rapha-Condor track bikes:
Call me The Breeze
Along the waterfront trail near Newcastle. Coming out of the Wilmot creek valley (just east of the "private" retirement community)
That section of the trail is why we missed seeing most of the friends for life rally actually as we were heading back west on that section while everyone on the ride was heading East, to the north of us on hwy #2

Right on.. I'm gonna do a section of the Waterfront Trail this weekend. I'm going to a friend's cottage in Wellington (near Trenton/Picton). I remember that section, along the Loyalist Hwy, to be a pretty nice ride. Plus there's a nice steep climb coming out of Picton and then a nice long descent going towards the ferry (and then the other way around coming back, one would assume ).

Wasn't so bad last night on my way outta there since I rode earlier. They seem to be FAR worse when the sun isn't out full force. I guess that's fly siesta time.
Also: Ran into Darkmother last night in Queen's Park.

If you think that's scary, go look at his video take on Sir Mixalot's "Baby got back" on his site. Good taste prevents me from providing a direct link.

To further complicate things, looking under gnats suggests it's a colloquial term for order Diptera, not Hemiptera to which aphids belong. Having tree planted, I have no such difficulty in telling black flys from aphids. Aphids suck plants, black flys suck (blood).
And you still get bugs in your face. But it's better than canker worms any day, as anyone who's lived in Winnipeg or Saskatoon can tell you.

are those the worms that totally took over Winnipeg a few years ago? I bow down to our new wormy overlords!
edit: when my old band was on tour in 2000 we stopped for an all-ages show in lovely (*cough*) Thunder Bay. They had this crazy moth thing going on. It was the creepiest thing. Once it got dark out it was something straight out of a movie about the apocalypse. I remember we drove past a car dealership with the big "stadium lights"... not only was there a huge swarming cloud of moths around every light, but all the cars were absolutely crawling with moths. Our drummer got a really bad case of the heebie jeebies. So, of course when one flies in the window and hits him (no air-conditioning + July = windows down) he FREAKS OUT. We pull over and he jumps out and obviously we take off and drive around the block. He was nearly in tears when we got back to him.

Bugs and worms, sounds like a street food in Thailand. Making me hungry for crickets again.
Don't post Bikerfox please, I'll have no choice but to respond with the Hasslehoff crotch.
