by the way guys (and girls) - as you may know, i'm in the process of packing/moving and i'm trying to clear out some cycling stuff. i went through my closet today for the usual spring cleaning and goodwill donation gathering and i realized i have a pile of jerseys and caps that i'm never going to use. i'd rather they get used for their intended purpose so if anyone wants to take a jersey or two off my hands for nada please let me know. most will fit a tall skinny guy (mediums/larges) and are short sleeved. for instance i have an protour lotto-adecco jersey, some castellis, nalinis and at least one pair of brand new dickes double knee pants (good for rolling up or cutting off for knickers). shout if you're interested.
. We shall meet yes?By the by, anyone have an extra long seatpost? It says 30.8 on my WTB one, i need MIN three four inches longer to be comfy... I can likely settle for two inches longer too. This past weekend I almost blew out my trick knee from the Ironhorses terrible seat-height.
Yeah its a shortass frame, but it jumps like a rabbit.
And is anyone going to sprints?
(P.S. Hi guys, was on at-home vacation from all things work and computers.)

#1747 was still on the bike from the event though. Nice looking ride, I'm starting to feel an itch to do some single track... after hearing you guys chat last night too... hmm Sprints: I'll probably be there if they're on.

Can't say for sure who it was, dressed up in commuter garb I didn't recognise them anyway #1747 was still on the bike from the event though. Nice looking ride, I'm starting to feel an itch to do some single track... after hearing you guys chat last night too... hmm

Hmm.. No idea who that is! I didn't realize Darkhorse had a team either... cool stuff. He was out on course at the same time as me, so he wouldn't be in any of my pictures.

Pary Bell is a good customer of the beaches CS store. He bought that Yeti from them and also bought my old Look. Wicked guy. I saw him after my race and snapped that pic, he looks like he is having too much fun for a race! haha! Where did you see him having an issue with a driver?

Broadview/Danforth - he was heading south across Danforth - I was waiting to go East at the light - he looked over at me as if to say "did you see that ****?" but I didn't/couldn't offer anything heh.

Apparently I'd be happy with a full stable of bikes under the Planet-X/On-One brand umbrella:
The new Ti bikes are made by Lynskey. Unfortunately they're still at Lynskey prices too.

As opposed to what, me actually finding an image that says "mother nature hates sprints" on it?

Yep. Fedex is just as bad as UPS. I ordered a guitar headphone amp before they were available up here. It was worth all of $40. Fedex then sent me a bill for $20 for various fees. I am waiting on at least the 2nd notice before paying.

ahahahaha - awesome
I'm off the bike from tomorrow, will be weird but I think a nice break, despite my resolve to take a bike to Ottawa, I just couldn't see myself riding there in one haul yet (one day this year I will try). Also had a bit of an odd time adapting to the geared bike this morning... I dislike not having the backpedal ability
