Jet Sanchez wins at life for the whole Facebook baiting going on in the main forum.

hehe, it is pretty funny, I should post the PMs I got but some of them are mean :(

I don't read the main forum, what's going on?

jet you rock. that was amazing.

Ihe: he had a story basically making XXX sound like a ******bag, then it had a bit of coding that showed you your facebook page (well the little screen when you search somebody on facebook). and people thought he was a creeper and an ******* :D . priceless. i did make the mistake of scrolling down before reading and that got a little confused.... as i know nothing of rake :D

oh and anyone up for a don ride tomorrow? has to be early because i have to be home for 4pm (have to work by 5)


gimmie a call (or post here) at six for seven too to free five seven ate won

LMAO, I have to admit I had a small panic attack for about 10 mins... some pieces of the puzzle didn't add up but it was an awesome joke. I feel like a fool but it shall pass...

...in time lol

I'd love to, but I'll have to make some good progress on this BULL**** Flash project I've been working on first (instead of just floundering away at it like I have been).

but the don... the don is saying "shapelike please please come ride me"... or maybe not like that, but it wants you to ride your bike




edit, im leaving my house at 10am for the ride, gimmie a shout some time after 8:30 if you want to come and we can arrange a place too meet....

Bah, I just got invited out for brunch so that's it for me. I may try to pull off some evening rides this week though. Anyone up for an Albion drive? Failing that, the Don is always good times.

riding the don this afternoon, likely with a newbie friend. anyone in for a relaxing tour of the intermediate singletracks? If some of you come out im happy to race around a bit whilst the new guy catches up.

I was riding completely rigid yesterday, and I have to say it rocks serious ass. You lose a bit of control if you pick the wrong line on rocks/roots, but for everything else Im pretty happy, climbs like a goat, tracks beautifully on downhills, and feels lovely all around, and shall I mention I saved nearly six pounds off that crap stock fork I had.

Need fatter tires though. And new wheels. And bars. And levers. And shifters. And stem. And fork. Dammit.

just got back from my ride. amazing once again! i wiped out hard :D it was awesome!




im up for an albian trip some time this week, but i need a ride (i'll pitch in for gas)

Anyone want to do a short ride for Charlie sometime this month?

It's either that or I'm just going to go out and punch a cabbie in his honour.

I'd like to go visit him with a bike ride around thrown in.

I concur.

i'm in for a memorial ride. i can't believe it's been a year. time flies.

I'm glad you guys brought this up. Benway and I want a coming DSR ride to be for Charlie. Same as last year, meet at the fuel and cruise around. We first wanted to talk to his family about bringing a group to visit. What do you all think?

Me four.

I thought his family lived in Dubai...

Im sorry I dont know Charlie, what happened to him? I hope Im not being insensitive guys, dont have to answer.

Im having a beer with what seems to be a chipped shin and a happy sense of all being well with the world. Trail season is the best time of year, I just need greaves.

i humbly request that this memorial ride happen on a sunday or monday so's i can attend. if the consensus is otherwise i will of course be there in spirit...

he was a friend of ours and an animated fixture here (not to mention nemesis of cabbies everywhere) on the BFSSFGTO since it's inception - long story short, he was struck and killed last year near calgary while out on an epic bike tour from the northwestern US to toronto. this was last year this time; after he passed away there was a memorial ride organized for him and his family by some of the guys here.

search for some of his posts - you will be entertained.

He was crossing Canada after a long ride from Vancouver to San Francisco then Van to Toronto when he was struck and killed by a motorist who drifted onto the shoulder of the road at Brooks, Alberta

His blog is up here: http://thedoublecross.blogspot.com/

In

i think that's a great idea. i wasn't there last year because i was coming back from a trip out east -- missed the ride by two hours.

I'm obviously in. And yeah, I'm pretty sure Thoby and their parents live in the UAE.

Damn, the beaches used to be so cool.

There used to be a Coney Island style amusment park complete with pier out there.



i'm in for a ride for charlie, never knew him, but we should keep his memory alive for sure.

Well that was a pretty nice ride. Caught flimflam along Queen E, giving a tow to some guy on rollerblades, then rode all the way out to Rouge Hill & back. 75km round trip. Kingston rd is really very nicely paved after Birchmount, but watch out, because between Victoria Park & Birchmount, the road looks like it hasn't been paved in 15+ years...

Oddly, there were more than a few cyclists around Kingston & Lawrence, some riding real high end rigs - Look, etc...

A ride for Charlie would be nice.
