I'll try to make it out as well.
Regards core training, check in with Cycletherapy, but I know Velotique has some core strengthening videos for rent. You can find basic routines online to get you started and the book Functional Training for Sports by Michael Boyle is available from the friendly library. It's sports generic but has some decent core strengthening routines and also touches on some less common ones like vacuum's to work the transversus abdominus.

I live.....
vis-a-vis core training....crunches. Fitness... Karate style.... same as the Kick FitTM for legs. I was going three times a week to Karate consistently for four months and I actually could see abs forming. Then I stopped going.

It's my birthday next Monday, so I'm having a little gathering at my place on Saturday evening starting at around 7:00. For those of you that don't know already, I'm already an old man, so don't show up at midnight expecting the party to just be getting going. I'll probably be giving everyone the stink eye by then. 
Hopefully not everyone is going to be out of town for the long weekend!
BYOB... I ain't boozin' you lot up!
If you need directions, PM me.

Is it just me or is there ALOT of cars, actually ripping right turns at reds? It seems the slow roll is being replaced by a 20kph right turn. At stop signs as well.

Apparently you're ahead of the game.
ps. don't forget to invite your wives and/or girlfriends. Preferably not at the same time though, that'd just be embarrassing.. although, potentially entertaining!
pps. Also: Tobys and Bradyns.
ppps. RSVP's would be nice as well.

I walk in to the cafe to get an espresso on my way in to work this morning and my "Ideal girlfriend" (hyuk hyuk hyuk) has just turned around from putting on a great cd..

man.. soft tissue injuries suck. My "bumpy knuckles" hand is sore/stiff again after a silly little "tip over" spill during the race this weekend when I washed out rounding a muddy corner.

Not to start today on a downer... but
The Star:
A 7-year-old girl on her bicycle was struck and killed by a van in a quiet east Toronto neighbourhood yesterday afternoon.
