He even went so far as to use the negative sperm on his fork. Ewww. He works for Velocity..I wonder if EVERY employee has been given a free set of SpermV's(tm) in order to try and convince the world they are super cool instead of laughable. Please send your bike to me, where it will be given a good home, some drop bars and taken out and run with the wild bikes at least a couple times a week.

Thanks for the pass K-Fresh. If the rain stops I'll be in today. Otherwise maybe tomorrow. Oh hell I should just come today. I'm so lazy. I will hopefully be working in some capacity in the next couple of weeks though yay!

Is it possible to join early at the doors of the sale if I don't have a free pass? I know admission is $5 -- does that mean without one of these magical tickets I might be in line forever waiting to get in?
Anyway I'd like to watch the race on Sunday, too. I've never seen cyclocross in action. What time does it start?

Yay, me - the practice this morning in piss-drizzle actually went quite well. I've definitely got to do something about the gearing on this bike (currently 52/39, 12-25 9sp) but due to my non-budget I think the only option is to throw a 12-27 on there and continue hanging out in the small ring (maybe then I can ride it like a 6sp instead of it's current 4sp usage).

I think I saw "Simone" from the messengers video today, the girl who religiously maintained her chain and seemed just generally hardcore. Cool to start to recognise faces on the street.
So giddy I have my roadie back, big thanks there K. Picked up a Conti Ultra Sport from MEC on the way back to the office so I can throw that on there. Riding platforms on a bike I'm so used to riding clipped in is very strange, but kinda cool in a way.
Yup

I like the early morning meet up for the show. What time are peoples thinking to meet at the doors? I think for me this is going to be a what can I get for $10 day. Diapers cost money and I really don't need anything for the bike.
Keith, are you going to get that wheel done before you close up for good?
Also what time/place are we thinking for critical glace tonight. I don't think I will be able to make it, but if I can I don't want to miss you all.

It's always fun when you think "nah, that's just an optical illusion 'cause of the trees and clouds"... and then you see a car continue to drive straight up into the clouds proving yourself wrong.

Critical Glace...
Har hardy har. As much as it pains me to say this, I'm wondering if we could postpone till tomorrow. I was up at 630 today to haul ass out to UTSC for tutorial teachin' and am tired as all heck.
Whatever happens, we should definitely try to get out to Dolce Gelato, where all happiness resides.
