Thanks. I'll check out MEC tonight if it's not raining.

Yeah MEC definitely has the incred-i-bell- I picked one up last week for like six dollars. :)

that last shot of the skyline is beautiful.

i drove up to richmond hill last night for father's day dinner, and was on the dvp during the crazy lightning storm -- was just getting off the highway at buttonville airport when i saw a bolt touch down maybe 1/4 mile away.

Thanks, that photo was taken just a couple (literally) minutes before it opened up. The view from the back of the ferry was pretty intense (lightning arcing across half your field of vision, etc.).

Great pics dudes!

I haven't had time to really sort / organize or post them yet but here are some of my shots from the weekend.

*Edit: I just realized that I didn't download about 200 photos and some of my favorites are in that bunch! I'll have to compress and upload them later. I'm a doofus.

day 1: http://flickr.com/photos/exhibit-x/s...7605653612411/
sprints: http://flickr.com/photos/exhibit-x/s...7605653016337/ (had a few nice videos of chad sprinting but flickr wouldn't process them)
day 2: http://flickr.com/photos/exhibit-x/s...7605647574272/

The thieves have a new target, there's another CL posting about a Brooks saddle being swiped.

Great photos guys!

Have results been posted anywhere yet? Just got back from the 10 hour drive and my brain and body are toasted; great weekend everyone!

hehehe.. you can totally hear me yell "HAMMER!" in the first video of the sprints. :)

Great pics guys! That was probably the best weekend ever. I had a blast. Racing was awesome, even though I didn't qualify for the final. I'm pretty bummed that it is over. I miss being a messenger big time.

Yeah, that was a great weekend. It saddens me to realize that it isn't an annual Toronto event. I'll have my pics and/or video up tonight.

my turn posting some photos. even if i was only there for an hour or two. i'm glad i ran into some of you guys - it would have kind have sucked drinking beer alone in the rain.

hey phil is this you? the image is a bit blurry so i can't tell and i don't remember taking it:

Tickets to Iceland are being booked ... woot.

Wow: http://www.voffi.org/images/10agust/index.htm

Beware, bike cop south on St George busting cyclists running the stop sign just north of Harbord. Handing them out like it is Christmas.

gonna have to catch me first.... 'can't get enough of my Sugar Crisps...' FB photoset uploading as I type. Is there a flickr tool that will allow a folder upload form der Mac? Man that was fun this weekend.....will be endlessly kickin' myself for not entering. Met up with a couple buddies I haven't since the 80's GOOD GOD!!!

i use the flickr uploader, http://flickr.com/tools/

works on both pc and mac, pretty simply, pretty slow ... but it's good

Doesn't look like me, but it must be - raingear is on - I can tell it's my bike by the fenders + my two bottles ;)

+1 on the great photos (still getting through all of them! :D)

It was a really fun weekend, I had a total blast. I didn't qualify due to a sweated-up timecard (rookie non-messenger error I figure ;)) but man I had fun nonetheless. Wish it could be more close/regular thing, Tokyo for next year might be a tall order :p This type stuff even makes me wish I could afford to work on the road somedays, I miss the collective/brotherhood feeling, only had that with the Army before - such a good crowd of folks.

always a favourite spot. makes perfect sense busting cyclists at a T intersection on campus surrounded by slow moving traffic...

does anyone know if MEC has replacement batteries for knog lights?

i was heading for the ferry at the same moment. not the driest trip home, but i think the impromptu pack ride away from the ferry terminal was the most fun i had all day.

Does anyone have the scoop on the Bye ride ? Supposedly 7:30 this evening? grrr lost all tags and comments from FB, error? Bastids

7:30 Yonge/Queens Quay. Route is riding out to the spit IIRC (can't find the flyer now myself).

I'm heading to Chippys on Queen W and then onward for a slowroll down.

Not really in the same area, but the Fish & Chips place on Broadview, just south of Danforth is pretty awesome. Chippy's has gone way downhill. I prefer Harbord F&C in the West end.

...

Now I want fish & chips! This place I went to in Vancouver last week is totally awesome, I go there every time I'm in the city. I wish it was here!

So this weekend continues to provide awesome bicycle memories such as Zef's face getting up and close with Temperance St. My shot was one in a million...Feel free to "chop" these guys!

And the results.....

i am in glace bay, ns tonight.

just had REALLY fresh haddock and chips.
it was $6 for 4 pieces of fish, a large fry, and gravy.

best fish i've had since being in the uk.

We just got em in today at C.S. No idea of cost tho.

shhh! :)

I grew up in Newfoundland. I miss proper fish 'n' chips! Especially with dressing (like a stove top stuffing made with Newfoundland Savoury herbs) and gravy.. oh god.. I've worked myself into a lather. ;)

**** i wish i had been there. *goes back to look at the pictures*



instead i broke a set of 500BP Burberry pants today at a casting... it was awesome... the designers laughed and didn't mind.... i felt fat... it was awesome... 200 other guys had to try on broken pants!

cycle solutions? thanks for the tip.

i'll post up something in the trade forum too but i'm wondering if any of you guys have got a set of mtb/bmx cranks with a smaller-than-130-bcd (110 or 94; so i can run a 21t ring) you want to get rid of? do you cycle solutions guys still have those 94bcd suginos you had at the show perhaps?
