Man my definition of ice free is totally different from somnambulants

a) That was Monday.
b) That's the Humber, not the Don.

:)

Is it a really bad idea to put a 31.8 bar into a 26.0 stem? Even if that stem has an open faceplate?

I am pretty sure it is but I sometimes like to ride the ragged edge of disaster, y'know?

Can you even get it to fit at all? That's a huge size mismatch.

Hows your dental plan? I don't think you could even get the bolts threaded in it.

K, you've talked me out of it.

You're gonna need lots of tape.

What would you guy say would be the maximum safe departure from a removeable faceplate stem measurement be? .5mm? 1mm? Less?

LOL! GOLD!

Damn missed the DSR ride, I guess - late dinner yet again.

Trying to get a decent sleep so I can ride upto Whitby tomorrow, hoping for that tailwind heading east :)

Should be a nice day for a ride tomorrow! Looks like Mike & I might be doing the Tour of Pelham on Saturday, so I'm gonna take 'er easy for the next couple days. Might go for another little spin after work tomorrow though, so again, if anyone's interested just fire me a PM.

did he offer to order the 60cm for you? i don't know why but a 58 would seem small to me. hey, if it fits you go for it...

nice ride tonight, aside from all the damn flats, but at least people held up and helped out

on the way home, i am riding just north of st. clair on young and i am going pretty slow since i just went up that hill before st. clair and this lady is pulling out from blockbuster, there's basically no visual obstacles for her to not see me, i have 2 lights on the front, i could have sworn she made eye contact and as i am rolling by slowly she puls out fast, and i am literally inches away from being infront of her so i have to avoid her by swerving hard and i yell out to her for her to stop in a panic and she slams on the breaks and then guns it and gives me the finger as soon as i am past her

thanks lady

Yep good ride tonight... (early season flats aside). it was good seeing everyone again now that we're out of hibernation. Hope everyone got home safe.

Word.

bah saw all you guys riding down bathhurst (just south of front)... looked like an awesome night to ride


hope it all went well


i might be out next week....


looked like there were lots of low batteries in lights tonight, i only saw the last half of the group riding south (i turned around to see how many there were out, and saw everyone in front).... i dunno, thought you might like to know

I rode 58's for far too long before knowing better. I do now.

I bet mine wasn't dim :p
Twas a fun ride. I seemed to be the only one with the foresight to pack a pint for the inevitable flat delay. First real ride on the track bike this year. I love how even after a few month's away from it, as soon as I jumped on it tonite it felt like that old comfy chair in the basement T.V. room.

your light is the blindingest - i love it!!!

thanks again for the wheel help - i'll most definitely get you back when i get back later in the month... they ride great!

i dropped off the ride when i realized that i still had to get home, install the second cog, a brake, re-wrap the bars and give the old bici the once over before it gets boxed up tomorrow... not long projects by any stretch but the prospect of doing any of them when i was ready for bed didn't appeal to me much so i figured i'd skidaddle before we got too far east...

good ride tonight - flats aside... it's been a while since i've gotten out with a group and been able to open 'er up just a little... can't wait for this summer.

Great ride guys. We may have dropped Ryan there, sorry dude, I thought you latched back on and then I get caught up with the prick who wanted to take on the world driving along Dupont. Good times either way, and yes Matt it IS going to be an awesome summer!

So when does the weekly ride give way to sprints again? Or is the ride going to be "the thing" happening this year?

Yeah.. I had two old people yell/honk at me on Harbord yesterday too. All I did was follow the contour of the bike lane as it started just West of Bathurst, but apparently they wanted to drive with two wheels in the bike lane. Clearly my fault. :)

Yeah get on the sidewalk where you belong!

I know I'm preaching to the converted, but I rode into work for the first time this morning, and it was the first time I was on the bike outside this year. Man was it ever nice. Much better than the TTC.

Great ride last night. Shapelike, I'm pretty sure the sprints are on, pending some cleanup of the straightaway at Ontario Place. Right now, there's just too much dirt, sand, and glass.

nuts - double post.

hey matt i just saw a thing on citytv about the city insurance for pot holes and what not and they said out of hundreds of claims this year they have yet to pay out a single penny.

as in ... I've wrecked my wheels on one of the city's craters and here's the bill you bastids?
Is it because you need bring said pothole with you to City Hall in order to claim?

My buddy fought Ontario for two years after a frost heave wrecked his expensive spidery rims on his car on the 401. He eventually won, but had obviously paid out to replace them ages before they settled.

Haha, yeah. I figured as much.

I only filed a claim because when I called to report some of the mammoth potholes on Strachan (and the fact that in hitting them I nearly bruck myself) they asked if I had any damages I wanted to claim and I was like... uhhhhhh, yeah!

On one side I feel like it's bad of me to waste the city's (read: OUR) time and money when I don't expect to get anything from it but on the other side I feel like the only way they'll even consider fixing the ****ing streets is if the cost of dealing with angry taxpayers outweighs the cost of repairing the roads in the first place.
