sunnyside? high park?

Mike, the parts going on cyclops are Campy victory, fiamme tubulars, -A set ruthlessly pulled from Herbie's Miele.


Are you kidding me?!?! There are hilarious. Where were the 'handlers'? 50 m ahead?- getting the drunks and punks and clowns out of the way... Maybe these videos can help solve a few cold cases.

I have one of those portable propane camping bbqs, that could always be towed in a trailer?

cherry beach, ash bridges bay

Are you guys certain those locations still have the grills?

http://www.chowhound.com/topics/417830:
"I remember there used to be a lot of them around the picnic areas in the Ashbridges Bay/Woodbine/Kew Beaches. Took a bike ride and cycled the entire beach area and it looks like the City of Toronto has gotten rid of them."

That could work too, but it's a little less convenient than just picking up a little bag of charcoal on the way to the park.


offtopic: From the wikipedia entry on 'food coma': "The proper medical terminology for this concept is postprandial hypotension"

postprandial hypotension.. gold.

i think the question is does zippered have a couple hundred dollars lying around?

I think Taylor Creek still has the grills actually on the stands, they're crap but they work I guess. I can't solidly remember seeing any in other parks. TC is a touch far, but is a lovely ride up the Don paved path to get there...

Between 3 bikes charcoal+small grill+foods can be achieved without a trailer and without serious weightage on any one person - it can be done! Propane/Butane bottles on the other hand are a different story :) Would love to do this, pick a park/locale and ride there to burn some flesh and ride back... mmhmm.

north west corner of high park near bloor street; south east corner just west of parkside off the road leading into the park...

the propane grill i have uses the camping/torch bottles

not much bigger than a water bottle.
the biggest issue would be getting it home after use.
dont know how long it stays hot.

I'd have to look I suppose....to be 100%

i think a bag of charcoal and a public bbq is the easiest option.

whirred. In fact, going to the islands on a Friday night would be cool too, but not something for EVERY Friday. The problem with High Park is just that it's a bit out of the way for the East end peeps. You can get campfire permits for Dufferin Grove as well, which would be fun. But they have a BYOW policy, which kind of puts a damper on things.

edit: unrelated question -- toe clip straps? can you get those pretty much anywhere? They don't need to be anything fancy. I saw The Veteran Cyclist (aka. cavernmech) using them to attach his front wheel to his frame on a fork-mount roof rack, and it seemed like a smart idea. That way I don't have muddy wheels taking up space in my trunk. :)

dig a hole a roast a pig Filipino style?

Yes, there's still a lot in Sunnybrook Park, Serena Gundy up thata way. I like the idea of a BBQ trailer and regularish meetings too. That would be great.

i've got some extra nylon ones lying around here if you want em...

Noice.. that'd be grrrrrreat!

Saw that on the CBC news last night. I was happily surprised.

hey toronto folk, just quit lurking today. i have nobody to ride with around here! any of you fixers ride college street area? i tend to go between hotbox and jetfuel a lot...

hollaaa!

and to the past ten pages, cops are generally dicks, i got a dude to cough up 110 for my front wheel after he swiped me once, yay this weedkend, and anyhow you dudes hit up north yorks parks for a q' i should be in that area on teh weekendz

Further notes on

I didn't even get to finish the damn message and it sent itself. Anyway, further notes to the computrainer riders the fee is $30.00 for the three hour ride. Not too shabby, eh?

So uh - when can we go and do they accept bolt on rear axles?

Also does anyone know if marinoni does lugged steel frames anymore with horizontal dropouts? Their website only has all them new fangled stuff.

Ah memories....the amount of nights arriving home drunkenly with potential bedspins to find aimless driving around on the tee-vee. Saved me from puking more times than I care to remember.

I think the proper medical term is "The Itis"

So many things pissing me off tonight: Girl on bike crossing east on Bloor at Lansdowne - get some ****ing lights, having to deal with that intersection road surface, the trailer AND your lack of lighting/visibility is irritating and dangerous!

More to the point though.... So there I was riding south on Lansdowne south of Bloor with the trailer on the back... having cars pass me as they can here and there as I'm on the sharrow things... Couple minutes later I'm getting to College (heading straight south) and I have "TO SERVE AND PROTECT" in my eyeball as this freaking squad car (didn't get the number sadly) buzzes me when I have the trailer on the back.... he got a swift "HOLY JESUS WEPT" reaction before I'd even computed it was a cop. I tried my best to haul ass to catch the car number, but couldn't handle the hill fast enough to cross Dundas. I've only been buzzed closely twice with that trailer on, 50% now being by our lovely law enforcement. I'm still agitated over it... I tend to let a lot slide with just a cursory yell or even nothing now, but when it comes down to towing my daughter around, I take that **** real serious... I know he heard me yell, but of course they won't stop. Oh well, there's literally nothing that I can do without a plate/car number.

Now it's the weekend though, yay!

$30/3 hours? Bonus. So what's the crack? We bring our bike and that's that?

Oh yeah, I spotted King Tobra when I was heading home at Dundas/Lansdowne - took me a long time to recognise until I saw the back wheel :D Was too late to shout out, but whatevah!

lol

Oh no you di'n't!

Just saw this, made me chuckle the way it's written (that and I own an IRO, so screw that guy! :p) but theriously, if anyone has anything to sell him/her/it: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/630583044.html
