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...

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

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!

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.

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.
