Reschedule for next weekend I guess.

so's it off? if you're still in, then I am - otherwise, finals to study for and a wheel to rebuild.

operator 08-03-08 07:46 AM

i thought it was really good and well done

it was pretty short and everyone seemed to have fun at the checkpoints ... and no bad attitudes

there was an unfortunate amount of male nudity

I'd love to, but I'll have to make some good progress on this BULL**** Flash project I've been working on first (instead of just floundering away at it like I have been).

Bah, I just got invited out for brunch so that's it for me. I may try to pull off some evening rides this week though. Anyone up for an Albion drive? Failing that, the Don is always good times.

freecycle 08-04-08 09:56 AM

riding the don this afternoon, likely with a newbie friend. anyone in for a relaxing tour of the intermediate singletracks? If some of you come out im happy to race around a bit whilst the new guy catches up.

I was riding completely rigid yesterday, and I have to say it rocks serious ass. You lose a bit of control if you pick the wrong line on rocks/roots, but for everything else Im pretty happy, climbs like a goat, tracks beautifully on downhills, and feels lovely all around, and shall I mention I saved nearly six pounds off that crap stock fork I had.

Need fatter tires though. And new wheels. And bars. And levers. And shifters. And stem. And fork. Dammit.

~Stuart~ 08-04-08 12:36 PM

just got back from my ride. amazing once again! i wiped out hard :D it was awesome!




im up for an albian trip some time this week, but i need a ride (i'll pitch in for gas)

Anyone want to do a short ride for Charlie sometime this month?

It's either that or I'm just going to go out and punch a cabbie in his honour.

A 1926 race on the Scarborough Beach Velodrome.

For a full size version go to http://www.toronto.ca/archives/photographs/index.htm, go to advanced search and enter item number 8167. It's the second record.

I'd like to go visit him with a bike ride around thrown in.

I concur.

i'm in for a memorial ride. i can't believe it's been a year. time flies.

Herbie_Glick 08-04-08 03:48 PM

I'm glad you guys brought this up. Benway and I want a coming DSR ride to be for Charlie. Same as last year, meet at the fuel and cruise around. We first wanted to talk to his family about bringing a group to visit. What do you all think?

I thought his family lived in Dubai...

Im sorry I dont know Charlie, what happened to him? I hope Im not being insensitive guys, dont have to answer.

Im having a beer with what seems to be a chipped shin and a happy sense of all being well with the world. Trail season is the best time of year, I just need greaves.
