I've learned more about about coffee here than anywhere else...

Perhaps, yes. But this way you can sample fancypants beans without having to commit to an entire bag.

i like the idea of the brew-to-order coffee machine; i never order drip coffee at a cafe because it's been sitting in a carafe for half an hour getting bitter.

i've got to get out for a ride today even if it's raining; if it hasn't stopped in 20mins i'm strapping on my waterproofs and going for it.

Seriously. I half-expect a large portion of the Toronto Fixed posters to secretly be members of www.boutiquecoffeegrindergallery.com or something.

All the cool kids like fixed gears and gourmet coffee.

What kinda ride you going on? I should be doing some work here but that sounds like more fun

not sure. i was going to just go out and try to stay warm. maybe along the waterfront to bayview and do the climb there then west again whip back down spadina into chinatown...

jeremy- check pms.

hehehe.. jeremy has pms.

I wanna go ride the **** outta my new bike. Might go do an after work ride in the Don Wednesday and/or Thursday.

When are you gonna post pictures of the bike anyhow?

Well, the only pictures I took were in my office and they kinda suck. I'll post a few when I get a chance. I have a bunch of shots from the race yesterday to sort through as well. Mike was right though, my bike is now covered in a fine brown silt. I didn't think it was dry enough yesterday for that, but there it is...

*sobs*

If you'll excuse me, I have to:
- get keys cut
- call the bank in Sarnia
- do the dishes
- sort out the order from OGC
- empty the garbage
- find bib knickers for cheap
- finalize the shops account application w/ Niner
- hang up the laundry mountain

Ahh, day off. So relaxing!

Okay, one last thing: http://cycling.photos.us.com/c1292602.html ... 5th photo from the bottom. I love the bemused expression on his face ... yep, that "puddle" pretty much swallowed your bike whole.

I rode with Tweak in the Don the other night and he did the entire ride in the drops of his new Jake the Snake, guy is hilariously quick.

Close enough :P Oh yeah.. it has forums too.

Those guys are obsessed to the point of mild ***********.. I just like a nice strong cup. :)

I like this guy's "my wife is gonna kill me" face: http://cycling.photos.us.com/p41850957.html

Hahaha, that reminds me - Sara and I were hanging out at the start/finish hill (just before it cut left and went up the short/STEEP little bit) ... some dude is dying trying to sprint up the hill and maintain position when his wife/partner yells out, "Remember, you're having fun right now!" Guy just screams in agony at her as he goes by. Pure comedy gold, I tells ya.

hahahahahaha.....thats Ernesto....and his wife/GF laid the boots to him on a regular basis.

This pic is amazing!!!

look closely at his left shoe.

You wanted the bike...you said you'd race it!!.. I wanted laminate flooring but you HAD to buy another bike...so suck it up buttercup

It's in frames.. if you're using Firefox just middle-click (or CMD-click on a Mac, methinks) the thumbnail to get the image page to pop up in it's own tab, then paste that url.

edit: I assume you're referring to this one.. whoops! http://cycling.photos.us.com/p41850973.html You can see it in the pic Mike mentioned as well: http://cycling.photos.us.com/p41850976.html

hehehe...I looked at the pics before but didn't notice the crank/pedal attached to his shoe. 8mm allen key...$4....not using it...priceless! Oh man....I hope that Durham is like that this Sunday. That would be funtastic!
