Yeah, tomorrow night @ Lee's Palace ($5). We're supposed to be the 2nd band on, starting at 10:15.. but apparently the 1st band dropped out. Not sure if the schedule will be affected.

Thanks. I don't always check my Facebook invites. I had actually seen yours but I forgot about it. If you guys play at 10:15 I'll most likely be there. If earlier, then I don't know... I'll see what I can do. I want to go for sure. ROCK AND ROLL

somnambulant 11-07-07 04:59 PM

woo! yeah! rock!

So, anyone up for a ride out to the cx race on Saturday morning, check out the races for a while and then go grab some foodbeer someplace (perhaps fish 'n chips)?

Report cards due tomorrow, most likely no racing for me tonight.

Wes, I might be able to make it for tomorrows show after catering.

Hey op, are you still selling your aerobars and if so, what's the clamp size?

pyze-guy 11-07-07 07:49 PM

My son peed on me.

sweep242 11-07-07 07:55 PM

Mine peed on the couch this morning; it’s what parenthood it all about.

duppy.conqueror 11-07-07 07:56 PM

Well it's a great light for the price (where else are you going to get waterpoof 4xAA 200L light for $99USD) but it's just not bright enough for me. On completley unlit paths, it's great up till around 25kph. But on the streets it's washed out by the streetlights. And the whole reason I wanted it was to be able to see between the lights. For the price however, it still beats the MEC Nitehawk K2 emitters - $200 for 3w LED? No thanks.

So next up for me is the 13w HID system from batteryspace ($200). Supposedly 740-750lumens. Which is brighter than the Dinotte 600L ($399USD). I'm just really picky with my lights. I need something with long runtime, non proprietary battery, not heavy and super bright = $$$.

Koolstops are the only pads you ever need to buy, they're like $10. The best! And it also comes in cool wet weather red pads which matches my frame colour.

I don't have them anymore, but the profile centuries have a shim to 26.0 bars and nonshimmed 31.8. I can get you a good deal on a profile basebar & carbon aerobars (< $50). Pm me if you're interested.

all this talk of pee - someone should issue new fathers a rubber apron or something...

Danhalen 11-08-07 12:07 AM

Wes: I can come tomorrow for sure! If you are going to be on earlier what time would that be? 9:15? I don't want to miss it. Will you know ahead of time what the schedule will be? I will write another sentence in the form of a question to make it an even number of questions?

somnambulant 11-08-07 06:21 AM

I'm fairly sure our start time shouldn't change. If I find out anything different I'll post it here.

So watching BT this morning and seeing the CX stuff on TV I mention this is where the guys are racing this weekend. "So why aren't you?", says she. "Me?", says I.

So...at the last minute. Who can i contact when I get to the office about how much it cost to run? What day would I be racing in the old and slow, Cat nOOb? Keith would it be possible to tech the TBL? Dang I still don't have a 22 in the back. 44x18.

It's $30 if you pre-register here: http://www.integratedsports.net/oca/...gistration.asp. $50 if you register at the event. All the slacker races are just being held on Sunday morning @ 10:00, including myself & Mike in S3/4 and Keith in M3. There's also a "beginner m&f" race, but I'm not sure if that's just for kiddies or not.

However you may want to contact the commisaire, Craig, at cfagan@sympatico.ca to confirm that one-day licenses will 100% be available before you pre-reg. Although I think Keith may have confirmed this already..?

Honestly bro....you are gonna be in for a world of hurt trying to race a S.S. Mtn bike on that course. Especially with the gear you are running. I would say the highest gear you would want would be a 44X22....and even that is gonna be super tough. If we had a bit more time maybe I could rig something up...but with 2 days to go it would be difficult. Call Bobby and ask him if he has something for you to borrow....like the Cannondale?

Day six of not smoking, almost at the one week mark! I've been having smoking-related dreams which result in either horrendous cravings while asleep or equally bad feelings of guilt immediately upon waking up (before I realize I'm remembering a dream and not the day before).

Hopefully before the end of the cx season I'll notice some marginal improvement in my results. Next year's xc and cx seasons should kick ass though. Plus there's that more money for bike swag thing and the whole not dying of cancer bit (just keep reminding yourself, man ... over and over).
