all this talk about buns.. we could do a bun-run around chinatown.

like a pub crawl!!

gokiburi 05-13-05 01:37 PM

thanks to everyone who showed up for the impromptu chinatown bun ride.. not even getting split up 1 minute into the ride could keep us from our destination: the heavenly kim moon bakery on dundas. damn, we bought a lot of buns.
bikeophile, you still have my buns!!! :mad:

operator 05-13-05 02:48 PM

Haha that was great. Nice meetin you guys!

cavit8 05-13-05 03:01 PM

Nice meeting you all too. I'm still full from all the buns. Nice bike shop crawl too... I think we freaked George out a bit by all coming in there at once.

i...uh....well...your buns were good too...sooo full....
Thats the best part of being the only dude with a bag and a bad memory.....buns galore!!!! ooph!
Hopefully Chris made it home safe and sound!

I bumped into a messenger buddy of mine and we rode around for a bit...he is working for 2 messenger companies at once right now....too funny...when he gets enough calls, he turns off his radio until he catches up!!

I have a little road trip to take you guys on next time...west end...kind of an exploration...if we find the place I think we will....it wil be like a pot of gold...don't bring wallets though...otherwise we'll do something silly and impulsive....I'll tell you about it more later...

operator 05-13-05 03:22 PM

Rofl ok. Looks like the 6:30 ride is off. Rain rain go away.

Bikeophile 05-14-05 05:29 AM

i was asleep by 530pm...geez!! Must have been all those buns!

Yeah I made it back. It was lots of fun hanging with you guys .. hope to do something again next weekend! Show me more of Toronto! :D

Bikeophile 05-17-05 05:46 AM

Not sure about this weekend...but I might be riding this Friday again...was thinking of a nice quick spin up the Don Valley trail (up to Eglinton and back) and then maybe hitting...oh I don't know...KIM MOON?

by the way...im off to the post office to see if my levels showed up....Cam, there might be some black ones in there ;)

cavit8 05-17-05 06:45 AM

Hopefully my tax refund will be here this week. I'm working Friday, so I'm not on.

wasted weasel 05-17-05 08:08 AM

I work full time so I'll never be able to make it out to these middle of the day rides. Sometimes I'll work late (like till 8 or 9pm) that's when I find downtown is a deadzone, sometimes despite working the previous 12 hours I'll just end up rolling around the city for a couple of hours longer. Night rides are great in the middle of the week nary a car to be seen on most side streets.

Bikeophile 05-17-05 09:20 AM

no problemo...we'll make it another time then :)
Cam, the hubs are even nicer than we thought they'd be...I am going to post pics of the black ones later tonight...

I have only been able to make the afternoon rides because I've been stuck on midnights..and Fridays I try to stay up after my shift...I should be switching back to days within the next few weeks though...

operator 05-17-05 11:11 AM

What about the friday nights TBN rides? 6:30pm on Fridays.

And Kim Moon sounds good. MMM. What do you guys think of these shorts at MEC?

http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1116349844846

Need a cheap pair.

the days are getting longer but nothing like a nice ride in the city when the lights have gone down. i finish work at around 8pm and nothing relieves stress more than getting out and riding.

rob, i had no idea the levels hubs were so beefy. the one you have on your rear wheel looks like a fookin artillery shell. quite the contrast with the miche you're running up front.

i'll be making a kim moon run but without the don-valley-trail detour unfortunately...people at work have expressed interest in bbq pork buns.

cavernmech 05-17-05 01:05 PM

A few pork buns delivered....sounds like a good deal when it gets you out for a 2 hr "coffee break". Lucky guy.

hey keith, i can work as a bbq pork bun delivery guy. just give me the word and i'll bike over a half dozen to 179 queen east. the egg tarts are really good too. my bike was still outside when i came out of the bakery with a steaming box of goods thanks to the kryptonite!

those look alright..right price too.
wrong colour for me though....
actually, i haven't worn bike shorts in ages.. my butt doesn't get sore and the ol' groin pit doesn't get chaffed so i don't bother.

Looks like my tax refund got here today. Save me a set of levels in black.

Bikeophile 05-17-05 06:22 PM

You got it Cam!
