Something looks rather fishy about the user names on that auction.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of ebay names full of asterix' lately, is that because it is a private auction or something?

Almost finished on the outside. Inside still hurts
Doc prescribred me antitriptyline - it's a painkiller in addition to being an antidepressant. So far I don't feel any happier. Lose.

Where are you hanging out these days? Are you staying home pretty much, coming down to the city? If you're up in the "Hill" do you want company? I can bring things. Like movies etc. And maybe other people. The possibilities are endless!

For all concerned, the sprints are on in what could very well end up being the first flurries of the season. So here it is, new season, new location, new name means new flyer:

Nice one Ryan... Perhaps the flyer could have an alternate location? I know when there is an event going on at the Amphitheatre that spot is going to be a write off.

I'm pretty sure the Amphitheatre is done for the season...

Great flyer Ryan.. Lots of big trucks down there right now (Royal Winter Fair overspill?) but they're all in the easterly lot, not by the sprint straight.
I've heard rumours about the fluffy white cold stuff coming down tomorrow, so caution++ on those roads, especially with all the wet leafy goodness we have now.

Who wants to help me take care of a fish 'n chips craving sometime soon?
Either for dinner or perhaps Saturday lunch.
Best fish & chips
DEEP BLUE 749 Broadview, 416-463-6789 Order the traditional halibut with fries if you insist, but to experience this east-side chippy at its finest, don't miss chefs Gary Conlin and Robert Joseph's exceptional beer-and-blue-cornmeal-battered scallops sided with skinny Caribbean-style sweet potato frites and house-made tartar sauce. You'll never go back to Captain Highliner.

Who is pronouncing them "best"? I hear this lots but rarely see it backed up. I make pretty good fish n chips myself!
That said, I'd probably be down to check that place out sometime. I've heard Greenwood is supposed to be good too.

Also, just a heads up that this weekend there's a weekend of CX racing at Centennial Park. If anyone wants to come out and just check out some racing, or potentially join in, it's a good weekend to do so. The S3/4 (<35) and M3 (35 and older) race is on Sunday morning... that's when Mike and I will be racing. But there are Elite/Masters races all weekend. It'd be great to see some familiar faces out there! I might head out on Saturday on my bike just to watch for a while in addition to going out and racing on Sunday.
Keith, are you racing both days since you have a uci license?
