Man, I've had the 3rd degree on all sides of the law this week. Today was the GO-stapo, first the security guards at Union, then a GO employee, then him again and after I laughed in his face, he went and got his GO-stapo buddies to "tell" me I couldn't have my bike in there before 9:30, except they let me go without fine anyway (wtf?). So I guess I'll have to just skip Union and ride east to the Danforth or Scarborough stations. Bleh, heh.
Ah well, I don't mind the miserable weather - it's giving chance to prove my new Cascadia fenders, though I must admit the wind is pretty soul destroying at times.
Wes, just make sure your return leg/route is tailwind city
I'd offer to join, but I *really* need to catch up on housework (yay for dishwashers!) this weekend

That's as fuzzy as the late night 'pron' I used to watch as a 14 year old.

Yay finally they published the results for the WWF climb. 160/4428 isn't too shabby, I'm still pished I missed breaking 15:00 though, though it's a new PB record, so 
Anyone else attending Tofus event Saturday?

heh.. Just watched a clip of dave zabriskie during the Tour de Georgia talking about his new chamois cream called DZNUTS ('deez-nuts'). That guy is short-bus special. Still rockin' the pedo-stache, too.

In other news: Chrome bags are all flash when it comes time to haul serious loads. The buckle digs into your collar bone pretty badly.
