Bikes: Menonite black urbanite, probably enough spare parts to make anther one.
i live near st joe's (have spent some interesting times there); i can swing by tomorrow before work if anyone is free during the day and want to have a quick visit around noon or so (assuming that's not lunch / sponge-bath times for dear robin). whose around...brad? and other parkdale people?
i had no idea his name is robin.
EDIT: never mind he's out of the hospital. i bet you guy's have all sorts of stories; st joe's is where they take all the crack-heads and the rest of parkdale's finest when things go sour.
a ride up to richmond hill? hm, that's my old hood, a good 35km one way. i may be able to do that one way next week.

BTW - i think it speaks volumes about the kind of people that hang out here that one of us can go down in a bad accident one day, be taken care of by his peers and then have the piss taken out of him and take the teasing in good spirits the next day. bravo all!

Robin is the Paris Hilton of hospital wait rooms. Corporate sponsors flock to him for his image!

Rob - not sure if you're checking PM, but I tried to get in touch there.. I've got a car available today, so please let me know if you need any help getting a ride downtown or to/from the hospital.
Hope you'll be back up & running at bikechain soon

I havn't been to a bike event all summer. i feel so out of the loop. i won't be at the race tonight either as it is my day of birth.. toby said he might make me a special happy birthday honourary(sp?) spoke card even though i can't make it to the race. possibly somepne *cough*dan?*cough* might remember to grab me one. k?thxbye

So it's Photoshop Phriday ala TOFGSS/operator ?
Love the pics guys, the scream made me howl
I'm visiting my precious tonight, so I'll be skipping CM. If I can get there on time, I'll drop by the race start to see if there's help needed... Otherwise, have a good one tonight all - bummer I'll miss the Hallowe'en CM as I'm sure it'll be entertaining
Mmm, pumpkin cookies eh... that can only mean good times.

I was planning on it...however the copious amounts of beer consumed last night might put the kibosh on that. I will prolly head down for spectating. Racing 3 days in a row seems a bit masochistic at the moment.

Robbie McEwchan still wins stage 1 of the 2007 DSR sprints, despite a dramatic crash in the final few minutes:
Thanks for the new pics, nerdsgirth

Well according to the Tobster I might be running a checkpoint tonight. Anyone want to keep me company? Failing that I dunno I'll improvise. Maybe I'll race or just hang out etc. I'll be there no matter what 7:30ish though to give Toby any help he may need.
