Dood, you have a velodrome right there. Ask around or put up a notice on their bulletin board that you are looking for a cheap track frame in whatever size you need. I bet you will find something right away. I recall someone saying that the velodrome sells off their rentals every now and then too, that is a nice and cheap way to get a nice bike too.

I'm going to have a frame shipped to friends in buffalo and then pick it up. I figure 13% on a $120 frame is acceptable. Free shipping in the US helps make it a sweet deal.

Jeremey re: your question about tour streaming, you can sign up for cycling.tv. It's pretty awesome actually it's about $40 for a year and you can watch lots of European races like in Belgium like cross and other assorted stuff that we never catch here. There's a UCI channel for a bit more too and then you can watch the word championiships and stuff. What's cool too is you can watch it live or go back later and watch it on demand. The $40 is well worth it I think.

You're a "make it a sweet deal"

lol

Sounds like a good impeteus for Keirin north america.

i know first cycle works (on first street, north of dundas, in the east end) usually has a couple khs flites, and a conversion or two.

To Wheels downtown might have something.

I tend to think of it as more xenophobic than elitist.

Today's ride with Nerdsgirth/Fuzzz/Shapelike(/Sara): http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/6181894

Apparently it recorded the time we were sitting still having lunch, even though I hit stop on the computer. Weird.

edit: heh.. just clicked the 'speed' section. My fastest speed was 56km/h... going uphill! :P That must have been when I was hammering down that one really rolling doubletrack section and trying to get enough momentum to make it up a hill without having to drop down into a granny gear.

So out to the Aberfoyle Antique market today then off to Arboretum for a round of golf on the Magnolia course. Very fun. And I bought a cocktail shaker! I feel a martini party coming on!

"Weight of bike is approximately 4 lbs!"

Arboretum course = UGuelph? I didn't know there was a course there. I was just there last Monday!

*email sent* It will be mine.

... you are an absolute inspiration to us all.

I haven't been to Guelph in forever... and when I was there I didn't even own a bike. I feel a road trip coming on!

Since we are playing this game: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mss/bik/744773507.html I want to send an email asking about its female specific geometry.

Great ride at Albion!

Maybe they were saying that it's a bike that currently belongs to a nice girl?

Yep. Nine holes. http://www.perpetualmotion.org/DiscGolf/Main.htm
Shortish holes but lots of friggin' trees to make things interesting. I think I hit a tree with nearly every shot. But a nicely designed course.

lol, I have got to stop looking at CL. Staring at a computer, what a waste of time.:twitchy:

i was thinking about that today; i'll check it out. didn't think cycling.tv had rights to the tour...

Sounds like some good 'ol racism.

hahahaha mitch hedberg (sp?)

"I never got a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. And thats waaay more satisfying. I was gonna yell '4' but i was too busy mumbling 'there ain't no way thats gonna hit him' "





got something better then a lottery ticket... a trip home :D *is too happy, jumped for joy even though its still early*

I'm currently listening to the Eurosport audio stream: mms://ulswmod003.bcst.uls.yahoo.com/slot016?StreamID=42339832%26pl_auth=b64a59543684ff38cf7d809706d8166%26ht=30%26b=dnsd

Thanks for the link TJ, watched the last 15/20 minutes of todays stage. Impressive sprint by the lead guys to finish the stage... I've never really watched any bike race coverage before, that was just nuts though :)

Had a nail pierce my new kevlar back tyre yesterday while I was riding the hydro path (the dirt path up the hill on the south side of the creek) in Taylor Creek, glad I had my stuff with me though. Only got in 80k over the weekend but I guess that's better than nothing. Knee is almost not painful anymore, stupid pedal bang ;)
