Cavernmech: You guys are going to the provincials this weekend, right? Are you heading up on Saturday? I was thinking about coming out for Saturday and/or Sunday, but now I have nasty bursitis in my elbow so I'm not sure anymore. They're doing a cross clinic at Hardwood on Saturday that myself and Mike were hoping to do.

Hmm... If I'm not mistaken, when I was in yesterday they had the Sylvan Track pedals, just not the GR-9s. Did you look in the back room in the display case? I think I saw them in the case to the VERRRY far left. You might want to call and ask before you head back out there, though. |

re: Hardwood lessons, I agree with Keith
I took the "advanced mountain biking" course there 5-6 years ago and it basically worked out to a $100 group ride. 2 or 3 of us ended up splitting from the group with one of the instructors and basically just rode all day. Probably only worth it if you've got zero experience. |

Jeez....call the Waaaaaaaaambulance.
Yeah, I was thinking of going mostly just for something to do. Although with my elbow the way it is, I think taking it easy is probably the best idea! |
i always thought cycling skills were something that you learned on your own...

Everything I know I learned through the VelonewsTV How-To channel.. ;)
http://www.velonews.com/vntv/ Not really, but the cyclocross ones had some small bits that were new to me. |

On a serious(er?) note: Keith I just realized while cleaning my apartment that I have my saddle/seatpost, scewers and pedals here. Should I bring them to you in anticipation of the arrival of my bike? |

http://www.givemeaning.com/project/OlympicDreams I always find it sad when Canadian atheletes have to basically resort to begging and bake sales. |

Oh wait....just realized you prolly arent carrying a bag these days....whatever works for you. |
damn so these cats are repping Canada and don't have regular/sufficient funding to actually get to events? Weak! Imma give em some money when next someone paypals me, and maybe put their links on our website.
See those wanting to compete in the Madison are 48G+ short of what they need to get to these competitions...and after Canada got such props for gold on the track last time.. |

anyone play polo here regularly that wants to test these puppys out? |

Halloween Race? Well seeing as no-one has announced a race on Halloween yet your guess is as good as mine. If past race announcments hold true expect it about a week before the event. Nadir is doing something on the 23rd weekend I think. Not sure if this is a "Halloween' race or not....a week and a half before Halloween doesn't seem right.

The SSWC's are gonna be in NorCal next year. Who's in? You've got roughly a year to get a SS mtn bike together and start cross-training (ie. drinking).
