HA! I like the way that "sub-continent" sounds. Henceforth that is officially where I have been.

Speaking of new Campy track cranks in Berlin Cicli Berlinetta has new Campy pista cranks that have the old campy logo on them, not the cheesier new one. They look just like C-Record Pista cranks. Can those be found at home or is that a special thing? Why do I care? Because I'm a dork that's why. And I want them.

One more thing (geez I'm like Columbo over here):

Can someone ask Toby for Tofu's contact info in London and pm it to me? Like an email address or UK phone number? Thanks

I'd be up for either of those in the evening, but I'm working during the day.

Is anyone riding and/or coffee drinking today?

ps. today is Pedestrian Sunday in Baldwin Village.

Happy b-day Mike (belated) , I got a lump in my throat from the pictures. I wish I didn't have to bolt to Mississauga that evening. I continued west as you guys headed up Spadina, man what a headwind ride I had.

Well I'm hitching a ride on a flying machine on saturday. Should be home around midnight. Kind of bittersweet. It'll be nice to see home and all of you though. A top notch lot of lasses and blokes you are. I think the events of the last couple of weeks will really seem real when I touch back down to reality. Time will tell. See you soon.

MEC. Or you can get a cardboard box for free from most bike stores if they have one. Or just do what I did: take off the pedals and turn the bars sideways and hand it to them. Worked fine for me. I heard thar's what Mike Barry does too

I think Cycle Solutions has boxes you can rent. Atleast that was what I overheard when I was in there a few months back...
