Maybe...

Hmmmm.. :) I'm entertaining the idea.

any info on the Friday race? Can't wait til you guys see the bike with Halloween embellishments. = death ride

Keith any recommends as to tires on the MTB for cx courses.... re: thin .. not like those big 2" ones I need to pay you for this week.

Pre-registration? On site.. pay to play.? Licensing?

Do you have a fixie? It's fixed/track only.

well no death bike on friday then.... SS on track drops? I guess not...heehee

*edit* Ok Urbane says... Shimmy SS cogs to 18....an 18 I gots already. Surly cogs will fit Shimmy cassette spines and go up to 22 teeth but alas on order...and 40 buckos a piece. Another suggestions as to rear cog retailers?

consarnit!!

:mad:

Ah balls - I should've thought about it more having seen the poster. Doh. Short of converting the Gardin or Bianchi this week (and I'm sorely tempted, just to start learning), I'm stuck I guess.

Oh well.

[QUOTE=somnambulant; ps: who here is racing on Friday @ Toby's race?[/QUOTE]

Nah... I am going to save my legs for Nadir's $2g 3hr race. JK.

I plan to! I am seriously fearing costume interaction with the crank... and no I am not wearing a Cinderella (tm) ball gown.

what's this 3 hour race? I remember Toby announcing something at the sprints but I honestly missed most of it.

toby's race

Saw the awesome-est sight on my ride into work this morning. Just as I was passing City Hall I caught a glimpse of the guy who rides the surf board bike. Not only was he on the surf board bike, but he was riding it in full on business suit. Good sight to start the week :D

So is there "another" Hallowe'en alleycat or is Toby's the only game in town? I'm trying to keep rodny apprised of said events.

Wes, Sara and I are down for working a checkpoint w/ you on Friday.

Sorry, Dan I can't do a ride tomorrow; i have to work after all...

Just went for a fun nighttime ride in the Don. whee! I still can't believe I'm out riding in shorts and a t-shirt on Oct 22nd! Oh well, back to reality tomorrow!

(back to life, back to reality)

A couple of photos from today's ride. It was ... how you say, fun.

it looks like i took the last warm ride of the season today.

what about getting your hands on a cog from a disassembled cassette? There's bound to be something of that size in a toolbox somewhere...

no-dis-a-semble! johnny five alive!

http://schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/...cx_pro_details

Cross tires for 26". Where to get in T.O. I'm not sure, I think Curbside might have/order them, but don't quote me.

I should have a spare cassette you can break apart to get a 22t cog if you need one. Let me know.

Holy, I got a close call on a right hook on College near the fire station. I passed a few moving cars in the bike lane and my next thought was, "oh a cop car, nope a parking ticket cop, oh it is turning into me right now!... the guy was talking on a cell phone of course. Is that complaint worthy? I should have got the details...

U-lock to the face 4tw

It's 10:45 wtf

P.S what would chauncey say

I got the fever.....

Good call, Cam. I should bring the cowbell to the checkpoint on Friday.

Sometimes I think that's a photo of you and it terrifies me.

I'll probably be doing a ride tomorrow with Paul and whoever wants to go. Not totally sure of the route yet, but I've got my road bike in near full capacity so I want to rip! Woo. Just pm me/drop me a line if you want to go. ROCK AND ROLL
