Wix, I am going to see what ms. Halen is up to tonight! I emailed the craigslist **** and he said that his buddy had one stolen earlier this week too! It truly is a brooks epidemic.

MEAT Hockey club (my team) is playing a motown review at the Dakota tonight if interested in heading over at some point.

So I went riding in the Don with Phil and Meghan from C.T. today. We'd finished the ride and come back down the path to Riverdale Park. Phil had already ridden down those stairs (at Queen) earlier on in the day so I talked some **** about him riding back up them. Of course he then proceeds to ride up alongside the bottom step, bunny hop sideways up to the next one and carry on all the way up to the next platform level of the staircase. I mean, seriously, what the ****.

Nice! Though I've seen what he can do just on that Breezer(?) cruiser - nuts

All this Brooks chatter makes me think I need to pop some chain around mine and ball/glue the nut. ****s sake

Okay, I wanted to keep it on the "d-lo" until it had healed up, but here's a photo of my first ever tattoo!



Patrick Swayze chippendale centaur FTW!

good cop story...was sprinting across viaduct and a cop was keeping pace with me in his cruiser...
he said: yup we're gonna have to pull this one over for speeding! and we started laughing (me nervously)
then speed trap cop saluted me and said "good sprint" as I flew by...

jokers! that was pretty rare. 3 good cops in a row? say it aint so!

Oddly enough (or not), I normally have a good time w/ speed trap cops ... the whole "how'd I do?" speed check, etc.

lol - you'll get the classiest cougars after you now!

I'm off to check out the Resurface Jam on the Queen West alleyway behind the Drake, etc. Laters gaters.

Also, MattR I couldn't remember and can't find it on your blog - where'd you get your u-lock holster? I find riding without a bag WITH a lock is a supreme pain in the ass. Does Sam/UTW carry them? It's heavy as heck in my jersey and makes the bike feel so sluggish locked around the seatpost

Me too, though they never tell me how I did For the most part I've had pretty decent interactions with the police.

And you know what horses are doing when they raise their tails like that. That is so choice. I love the Crayola TM shading and the beer cans (?) in the foreground. Who did this for you? He's gotta do my next one.

i think i have the same one as him and it's a fabric horse. ordered mine from the website for $7 or something.

it's so hot out i actually drank a 1L slurpee from 711 and now i feel like i have sugar poisoning...

Warning for anyone who may be planning on a bike picnic to anywhere in the Don Valley park system:

THE BUGS! OH GOD, THE BUGS!!!!

Tell me about it. The other day I dropped dead in the grass after a long ride and came back to life in about 0 seconds when I realized I was nearly completely covered in those little half-invisible flying *******s nigh-instantly.

Ugh.

just got my wireless keyboard and mouse so now i need to test it out is all...

guh. fans. not. enough.

this is bull**** man, i take a huge forum break to try to find a job, and now im just broke and my ****ty salsa straps are dying!

anyone know anyone hiring? will wrench, ride, stock, cash, manage, for food. and uhm, i cracked my platforms dicking around the other day, anyone have some grippy platforms, extra straps? just axin.

it ain't so.

On friday i was working on a vw commercial. we had cops hired to lock off the streets while we were doing driving shots on adelaide (at york) and before we started shooting a co-worker of mine walks over to me and says, "did you see that?! the cop just doored a cyclist!" they gave her a bottle of water.

I have a cheap pair of platforms and some nylon straps if you want them.

Did the race at Kelso today. Insanely hot. The Commisaires suspended the "no spraying/dumping water on riders" rule so more ended up on people than in them. Good Times! I put some gears on for this one (escarpment anyone?) and raced in my age group instead of in the S.S. class. Got 16th out of 29. Also Good Times!

Nice! ANyone interested in hitting the Don or doing some hills in a park this eve? I am going to be home in 20 min or so. PM me punk.

That would be very helpful, you dont wanna know what im riding on now for both counts

and 2wheels, wow. I hope she did some damage to that door. The most frustrating part? I bet they made it out to be her fault.

EDIT: nerds, im starting dinner, if youre up in aboot an hourish lemme know, i have to kill those pedals, i might as well.

what time were you thinking? i wouldn't mind a ride one it cools down a little...

Keith, check your PM.

I was riding in the Don today and it was amazing, but I couldn't find a loop, I just kept going one direction and couldn't figure out how to get to the trailhead again without retracing my steps. Is this a problem most people have?

^^^ I have that issue a lot, I never take a map or make notes, and ill always end up at random trailheads, or looping into a backtrack, etc.

hey guys, does anyone have a spare 700c tire and a cog (pref 16-18 tooth) and a lock ring for formula hubs kicking around they want to sell (or give) me? I'm almost done my conversion but these last items i'm missing, and i'm running out of monies, if any of you fine folk do please pm me.

the new sigur ros album has leaked and is owning my life.

just got my photo zine from the printers today... if anyone wants one its $5
60 photos, perfect bound, mainly music photography.
only made 250 numbered copies.
