Not sure. I'm gonna guess 'no' just because I already have a whack of things I need to get done this evening.

Yes. Coming up shortly. Bascially just goes up and west out of eglinton/laird all the way to bathurst and then goes on highway 7 and then north on keele, most northerly is about bloomington rd. (past Lake Wilcox), then heads back high speed down leslie.

Don't know where it goes from there. I'll try to draw a map.

Hey, when were you at the exhibit? I just got home. Got a stupid flat on the way there though

I am also famous!

I think the winner has an inside guy. Out of three posters she got top 2 and a tie for third!

Whatever, Rainbow Cruiser Locked at Popsicle with Passing Streetcar in Background spoke to me ... almost as much as Orange Cruiser Locked at Popsicle with Passing Streetcar in Background.

operator, you killed the thread! I always did the short route, are you kidding me? going to a show fri night then waking up at that forsaken hour to ride to leaside... I really enjoyed the extra coffee halfway through. I need a road bike again, but first a job.

Btw. I have a montreal map for you Dano.

Check out the wheel test (1st item on that page). Check out the watts used for each set of wheels. Super interesting. Mavic ksyriums scoring dead last.
