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

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.
How nice does this road look (especially when looking out the window right now)?

instead i see a 60+ year old italian man, who used to work out religiously and now has man tits.
he stands in the door to his store (in the path system) and tries to pick up women (until his wife comes)
i'd rather see rain.
*looks out window*
It looks like that pic where I am, I'm going for a ride!
