Buy a good wicking underlayer to wear against yer skin. Then a wool layer....then a good shell. This has been all I have needed thus far this winter. I keep an extra windstopper layer in my bag in case it gets colder.

I think wool is the missing piece, my baselayer is good, but I've been using long-sleeve COTTON t-shirts in the middle and fleece/wool top layers, and with the warmer temps the cotton is ****ing me over and getting sweaty, then cold. I keep my goretex waterproof in my bag, but that's pretty hot to wear just as a windbreaker.
I think I have a torn rotator cuff on my left shoulder, I've switched to the backpack from the messenger bag as that seemed to be hindering. Now I have to go visit the doctor and get it checked damnit.

Where in the **** should I get some Velocity Aeroheads from? Urbane (read: carrie, or however you spell his name) is being incredibly unhelpful about actually ordering me in any.
I'm fine with mail order if it comes to that. I've found places in the USA that appear to carry them, but I'd prefer to go with a source that someone has experience with.

Thats the cheapest I know of
Carey is pretty frumpy most of the time. but he does have some interesting things to say....sometimes.
I got myself a Walz cap and I"d def. recommended it! Its fits my big head better than any other!

Man, went into Urbane on lunch today, and I gotta say: I'm digging the design of their Reynolds 531 Urbanite road frame. $575 is insane to pay for 531 and a chrome fork, but man, those seat stays are nice!

Is this the track bike that was listed on CL over the weekend? The one that was discussed briefly here?

It is indeed - Sara shot it and I retouched it. Which one's your's? Did you hear about the gallery thing that's happening? I want to print a thing or two and put some work up. If you're thinking of doing the same, give Tricera Imaging a call. They're really good for printing at decent rates.
yeah, the organizer sent me info about that. i didn't know there was going to be an exhibit! it's been years since i've had a gallery show! i told her i didn't have prints, and that it was taken digitally. (my SLR has been out of commission since someone dipped it in beer.) she hasn't said anything so far, but i'll keep your suggestion in mind. the shot she posted on bike lane diary isn't my favourite of my submissions "photographically", but it fits the poster medium.
so yeah:

Martin is the bald dude with an intense stare, who you might initially suspect as being slow, until you realize he's just really knowledgeable, but works at his own pace. He's pretty kick ass, and will take the time to explain just about anything... unlike that creep, Rob.

I watched the first 5 seconds, saw he wasn't wearing a helmet and turned it off again.
j/k. that was pretty insane! I hope not too many fixie kids watched that or they'll be trying to do 20' launches into wall rides.

I hear ya...I went to the building next door to put in some laundry and got a wicked nasty snowflake in my eye. This will negatively effect my ability to focus my sniper rifle this afternoon.

G'luck with that one, I missed the snow this morning by an hour (late ride in) but I did get to have a blast down Kingston Rd/Dundas coming from my daughters preschool show as a change of pace. I even changed gear to 52/17 for a bit, woo!
Can't say I'm too excited about riding much tonight at all.. ho hum, Queen should be clear.
Did anyone ride/cruise last night?
