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.

Fine with me.. perhaps we could do some pre-sprints gelato? I have to run various errands tonight anyway.

Doors open at 10, but never having been to one of these bad boys before, I don't know what an appropriate camp out time will be for the ensuing brouhaha. I'm looking for road shoes and shiny black stuff, mostly, although I'd grab some tires if an amazing deal is in the offing. And some BMX wheels/rims.

Speaking of, how does everyone feel about a rain contingency? It would appear thus far that there's a 60% chance of rain and a low of 10°C. If that holds it could be miserable... which I can commit to if I know people will show. Otherwise, we could meet somewhere for a beer instead or something...? Suggestions?

The low isn't going to be 6pm in the evening.

So umm ... I may only be able to "afford" a 29er (and the Rob Roy) if I go rigid single speed. This should prove interesting.

Edit: debt quotations ...

Unless it's a downpour I'll be there. After the past weekend I'm not too confident in the weather forecast anyhow. Rumour has it that Tourism Ontario paid off Environment Canada for last weekend's forecast...

+1

Although retreating for beer isn't the worst idea either. :)

canice 10-09-07 07:50 PM

hey keith, thanks for the pass! what time do you open on thursday?

DrBenway 10-09-07 08:12 PM

Well that's enough consensus for me! See you guys tomorrow night! Keith, are you still coming? Can you bring the Air Zound?

Told me he would bring it. Fender'd Miele and I wil also be present!

jeremywhitehorn 10-09-07 10:17 PM

it's only 40% chance of rain for tomorrow night. i'll come by the sprints on my way home from work but be warned: i just attached another rack to my bike which in my opinion will make it as fast as cutting speed-holes into it. watch out!

operator 10-10-07 06:03 AM

jwhitehorn is a haxx0r

When + where is this sprint thing taking place again...?

"Please note that this bike is extremely fast so I can only sell it to someone willing to run the front brake."

What time are sprints again? I just realized I'm going rock climbing in the evening so possibly gelato meet-up is doomed again. Unless it's afterwards.

jeremywhitehorn 10-10-07 07:57 AM

last week it seemed that everyone showed up at the ex at around 9, although i believe the meet time at grange park for the ride down to the ex (for the easterners) is 8:30.
