Lovely glow ring on that.. Lovely looking (l)ass, too

I seem to get all kinds of those run-ins almost every day. Be it someone riding the wrong way on my street (without lights usually, yay) or some stupidity on Queen West... I swear I'm getting more complacent as time goes on.

Feel good thing for me today: Stopped at the top of the lakeshore 'hill' near the Jameson exit area to help someone with their bike. Turns out all he needed was a lesson on how to shift gears (his supercycle MTB still having the manual attached to the handlebars), but still, I know I'd want someone to at least ask if I was stuck on the side of the path with a mechanical looking problem.

... it comes with the territory. I've had a few rather scary hold-downs.. the first time that you lose all light in the middle of an afternoon session is a bit terrifying, but once you get used to the idea that you're not coming up until the water lets you, it's not so bad. (Aside from when you get knocked into things underwater; that's not so fun..)

Keith if I make it back from Mississauga tonight then I'm totally in for movie night. Sorry to be so indefinite about it but what can I do you know? ROCK AND ROLL.

Oh and I ran into Offhoff the other day. He said he is taking a bikeforums sabbatical or words to that effect.

I've got Cadence's Fast Fridays short, a couple recent mtb flicks (eg. Roam), and that cyclocross film "Pure Sweet Hell" (which is awesome).

I wish I could make it tonight - fortunately / unfortunately it looks like I'll be on my bike rather than watching movies about them.

Hahaha - if not for skin tone I'd have maybe suggested that this was The Tobra Snake given that he's kind of got a Tootsie / Mrs. Doubtfire thing going on these days.

I think he said something like "riding that fast is dangerous" with an unfriendly look on his face. Wasn't even worth my energy to stop and argue with this moron. Where do these people come from? Are they just born a moron or are they created? It really defies my understanding.
Thanks for the offer, I just ended up buying at the Wal-Mart. I know I will watch it a million times so it will be worth the money. The best line in that movie:

Ripley: "I say we take off and nuke the sight from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."
Hudson: "****in' A!"


Funny, it sounds like the same guy at the GO station was over here on Marion Street last night, riding the wrong way and refusing to move out of my way. The only difference was that I was driving a Toyota. Who the hell plays chicken with a minivan? He also gave me a dirty look too! Nutty.
