Doh! They don't use regular stitches anymore? Only time they superglued me together was for a cut through the fingernail. Was there a huge wait at the er?

I had a similar cut on my leg that I also didn't notice... but it was more because I was distracted by the fact that I'd landed on my face than because it didn't hurt :p

I have a question about CX practice- do they turn the ski lights on, or do you guys run headlights?

TJ: disc brakes are not legal for elite category in UCI races. Totally fine for any other local races (besides the double UCI-C1 weekend at Centennial Park in Nov) though.

Brad: Went to Western... place was packed. Left and went to Sinai, moderate crowd. In and out in about an hour (!), which was pretty sweet. I smiled a lot at the triage nurse and hoped for the best. ;) They turn the ski lights on for us at the ski hill. Still pretty dark in parts of the course near the end of the night though.

For those that are interested, they're gonna talk about Cervelo forming it's own race team on cbc1 in 20mins.

I've had good luck at womens college in the past. Not sure if that place is still a "secret" or not though.

+1 I start out my day once I get to Whitby with a nice breakfast special from the local greasy spoon (Sidelines on Brock N@Dundas, highly recommended).

lol! Nice one.. you know how to get directly to my nerdy heart. :love:

TRaffic Jammer 09-17-08 11:06 AM

atta boy.. it's one of those food groups they don't talk about. It's part of what makes pizza the perfect food. Adding beer to pizza and you have all the food groups covered in a single sit down, IF you put veg on it that is.

somnambulant 09-17-08 11:20 AM

Holding it closed.. Otherwise it looked like a gaping mouth. :P

kergin 09-17-08 11:43 AM

1. greasy spoon breakfast makes me feel like a slouch when riding....
2. Wes, that's gross. Can we see pics with the maw gaping?
3. Stuart, how did you pull your groin?
4. That fixie was totally ridden around the block twice.
5. Value village jacket for the lulz.

Is anyone interested in a road ride this weekend?

~Stuart~ 09-17-08 12:19 PM

boardmeeting....

you know, skateboard, and shirt and tie

I_bRAD 09-17-08 01:05 PM

Anyone got any recommendations for clips and straps that will work with boots? That's the final piece of the puzzle for my winter bike...

Herbie_Glick 09-17-08 01:19 PM

MKS XL sized steel clips are huge! Not sure who makes the longest strap though.

I_bRAD 09-17-08 01:20 PM

Is that something I can buy from you?

Powergrips perhaps? I have some but haven't tried them with boots yet. Urbane has them. I do have XL clips if you want.
