Ah the Christmas spirit, getting up at 4:45am to get in line at Future Shop to make sure that I get in nice and early for the boxing day sale. Worth the pain now that I have a nice new computer. Nice here in Ottawa, not too cold. No bike though which sucks as the roads are all clear.

I would like to try and get down to London on the 5th or 12th of January. Track 1 and 2 for those who need to do it and perhaps have a few of us (Wes and Dan particularly) do the Track evaluation for race night. They are doing a big race evening on the 19th which will have lots o racing including some Madisons. I would really like to get down there that day.

I'm in Montreal right now. Staying in this too-fancy-for-the-likes-of-me boutique hotel in Old Montreal. Good times! And yes, I'm posting on bike forums. Kim and I are lame. We've already been out for dinner/drinks and are back here watching tv. hehehe. Anyone have any Quebec City tips? Cycling related or not. We're headed there tomorrow.

20 miutes, I wish. I spent over 2 hours waiting to pay for the laptop I got. Only 1 checkout for laptops and there were 50 people ahead of me waiting to pay at 6:20 in the morning. Checkout was so slow it took about 3-4 minutes for each person to pay. Sucked so bad.

Meh, I go in there and order Orange Pekoe tea for crying out loud and I've never taken any flack.
How different would that review have been if they'd also been around for the yearly keg party? Not so snobby then, eh?

The Toronto-ist...puuuhlease.
Shaper...no Poprad it would seem in my future.. 52 and 55 cm being the spread, no sizing. Now checking out the other manus sizes, I saw one of the first production years Poprad's and I gotta say I love the old decals compared to the newer ones.

While you're on your "new old stock" hunt, please track me down a 2006 Ridley Supercross ("52").

Not looking for NOS persay, was just commenting on how I liked the looks of the year one's decals much better. In 52? What size do you ride? Is there a general rule for sizing in CX? Similar to go one size smaller for tarck kinda thing?
Man the video from this rig is killer!!!
