Why I oughtta...

'grats nerdsgirth!

Might be in attendance at ^^ tomorrow night... would be nice to check out.

Just found out that Ezra of Fast Boy Cycles has cancer... good vibes being sent.

Crazy photo, and how I found out:

He's an amazing photographer and crafter of bikes/fenders/bars/etc. His wood stuff is amazing:

^^^ That sucks ass - I've lost a grandfather to cancer and will likely lose an aunt to it as well. He's young, which I guess is something in his favor.

Shapelike, I'd totally snap up your tosca, but I don't think you want to wait until September for funds.

Also, got a CXP 33 rim, some DT champions, and a spoke wrench to build my front wheel tonight. Am I gonna die? We'll see...

Guh, I had one of those ****ers. It ran from an artery near my elbow (close to where people normally have blood drawn from) up my whole arm and across my torso and into my heart. After a few months it got infected and they had to take it out in the E.R. ... which basically feels like they're pulling (and pulling, and pulling) a tape worm out of you. Not fun.

Meh, who knows? Keep in touch. I didn't have a fun time w/ my last Cragislist experience so if someone from the forums ends up wanted it that makes my life a lot easier.

LOL

Another good ride in the Don tonight, despite the fact that it's an absolute soup bowl around the water treatment plant. I made it up that steep/technical (for me, at least) climb under the big bridge suprisingly confidently. Chalk that one up to "you never know until you try - again." Wes rode some weird metal trough thingie as well as a man-sized step-up and didn't eat **** at all. *APPLAUSE*

Yay! Congrats!

... that reminds me, I *still* have to pick up my M.A. diploma from the office. It's been there since November. I bet they've shredded it by now.

Just rode back from the island. Great night for some frisbee in the park.

I love mountain biking!!!! that misfit kicks my ass and its so much fun... big ear to ear smile still.

but i sat down in the grass today,just for a rest, then for the rest of the ride, till i got home i kept getting bit by something....

i got home, and when i took of my shirt i had a ****ing red ant crawling under my shirt.. the little prick bit me!


so i stamped on him.

got the little man a trailer today.
havent even got the wheels on it yet, but he likes sleeping in it on the floor as is.

couple of things,

i saw the bus thing, the witness they had was an awesome story teller, "he walked towards us, expressionless in his sunglasses and just let the head drop to the ground." wicked image. (im morbid, bite me)

holy sh1thammock! an actual race posted in rides and races! ima go wash my eyeballs and check again.

i cant afford to eat but the tosca is real nice

someone tell me whats up with the loop, ill be riding geared, for obvious reasons

AND YOU BAST@RDS!!! THE ONE DAY IM AT WORK YOU GO PLAY IN THE DON!!! FEEEEH!!!! I am hurt.

Are you in PhDville now? I didn't know that.

I am! My parents are so excited I'm going to be a fake doctor!

By the by, does anyone want to make 80 bucks participating in a completely non-invasive EEG psych experiment? Lemme know.

I cried blood. And they only paid me $75.

"How come Bart gets a therapist? I'm the one with stigmata!"

I've come to accept the fact that my floor pump isn't accurate (my last two rides in the Don have been at "20PSI" front and rear on tubed clinchers). I'm guessing there's no way to adjust the guage on the pump (one of the Topeak Joe Blows) so my next option is to use an accurate pressure gauge and compare that against what the pump is reading. So ... anyone have a pressure gauge that they know/think is accurate that I could borrow sometime?

When would it be?

I'll do it. It'll have to be the week after next if you're still putting electrodes on people's heads then i'll do it! Things sure have come a long way. Man when I was your age we thought that inside a person's head was an actual melon! :50:

I'll do it too. PM sent. And you are a *real* doctor. MD is a first professional degree :p. Yeah Dan, I can hear your joints creakin' from here....

I'll do it as well, depending on time/day.

Donut sunday start time? I might have another rider who's interested... what's the pace likely to be like? He's in shape, just not 'bike' shape so much.

Schedule's flexible. Probably first and third week of September? Or second and fourth. It's two 3 hour sessions 2 weeks apart. And I kind of misspoke on the 80 dollars, it's actually 70. You get paid 10 dollars for every hour in the lab (plus transportation) and I've been getting faster recently. :) My first lucky (unlucky?) participant took me 5.5 hours to run, but I'm now down to 2.5 hours/person. Woo!

Uh.... bikessssss?

Seriously:

Only $70 now?! IT'S A TARP! ;) :lol:

Should we be PMing you, or are you going to deal with that? To be on topic - is there good bike parking available? :)

Also, 'grats on the PhD too. I couldn't stand University long enough to even go for my MEng.

edit: lol shapelike ;)

It works just like that ^, except with more knives and less care.

Err... yeah- if you're interested PM me some contact info and I'll give you more details.

igor's bail set at $250,000

house arrest, psychological testing, drug testing, surrender his passport, etc

Anyone in Toronto got any track frames or parts for sale. I want to build up a bike.

BOOM!

PS - I know that I just posted a flyer for it yesterday so I'm not trying to spam the forum but in case anyone is on the fence for hitting up that race tonight - it seems like it's going to be a really good / fun time... the race is really designed for cool guys, not coolguys. Y'heard?

Here are some details from Ben:

"I just want to reiterate that this thing is really all in the name of fun, there are going to be prizes for the typical things like first, second and third, but we will also be giving out some good stuff to people that fulfill other objectives too, ones that the typical racer-types may not want (or be able) to. I've gotta say that riding in a race like this is way more fun that sitting around waiting for people to cross the finish line, so if you're thinking about entering - please do!"

Prizes:
Bikes on Wheels is supplying a nice PAC bag, some tires, tools, grips, and other stuff.
Crumpler threw in at least a bag and some radio, er cell phone holders, and probably some tt protectors
Manic Coffee has given some product
I have an original team Peugeot/Michelin wool jersey from the 60's I will be giving up if there's enough racers to warrant it.
There are also a ton of other little things.
