My idea was that this would be kinda "our" thing. You know, the Toronto crew. That said, I was thinking the idea was to get together and have fun. So if you're riding fixed and are up to racing a roadie or SS'r, knock yourself out. Personally, I'm looking to meet up, have a good time and if all goes well maybe improve a few more riding skills.
Anyone have any ideas for a decent music solution? Ideally, something that people can hook iPods into and play a few tracks. Power seems to be the only barrier I keep running into, but there's always people at CM with decent set-ups.

Well, since all I have is my cx bike right now I guess my lane is the dirt shoulder, but I'm in for sprints.
"We've secretly slipped a kicker into Mike's line without him knowing. Let's see if he notices" *table top gap jump* "Well played, sir." <-- This is how things play out in my head.
Edit: Wait, the Ex? ****, I guess that means I'm on the lawn.

I live on Marion St (close to Ronces), I see all kinds of idiots riding the wrong way lights/no lights - hugging the cars (as if that's safer) or whatever... Dolts, the lot of them. I make it a personal point to circle around on Pearson if I'm heading to Queen or Dundas from Sorauren or heading home off Ronces, I'll circle the block - another half a click and extra cool down time is good cakes, IMO.

Thanks again nerdgirth, likely saved me a trip over that cab and possible early grave
Maybe, not sure ... I think I have a hot date with duppy.

I'd never seen Tribe before either, which was neat.Thanks again Keith - and for the pie!
Yep, I live on Marion - I pretty much always wear my hi-vis vest, so I'm fairly easy to pick out if you see me around.
