Took all of 1 min, to make that. The logo is mine already, so didn't need to make that.
Enjoy folks!!!

That was the Spring Show, and yeah it was a sweet deal. I sold those rims for twice what I paid as well.

Aiiieeee! Don't think I'll be making it either, didn't get up on time and my parents leave today AND I might be trekking down to Niagara Falls in the afternoon.

The wise words above about going with something in mind kinda threw me off, too - as I don't have anything really in mind, I'm scared of unloading a bunch of cash on stuff that's "nice to have" rather than "need"

Thanks again for the pass deally TJ , if I decide to go, I'll drop by TBJ for one fo' sho'.

yeah, there wasn't much unless you were looking for a complete road or mtn. bike.

had brunch at the swan afterwards. huevos rancheros ftw! so yummy. one of the servers had a tattoo on her arm of a man giving a woman the heimlich maneuver.

Bikes: One of them home-made fixed gear road bike conversions.. with props to JB Weld and Red Loctite!

man, it was brutal at the show today.. way too many people trying to cram into vendor stalls that were much too small.

savages!

hope i'm not interrupting the conversation, but i just re-located to Toronto and don't have a firm grasp on the bike shop scene here.

i'm looking for some riser bars, around a 500mm length, Nitto preferred. any leads would be appreciated!

Wicked day today. Had a great time and feel pretty good except for the sunburn on my nose and lips.

Pulled a Wes when I got home.
2 slices of pizza
1/2 tuna panini sandwich
veg and dip
toasted bagel and western cream cheese(the worlds best cream cheese)
stuffed chicken breast with mashed potato and carrots.
bowl of frozen yogurt

Now for some coffee.

Ride details: https://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/7008182.

Look at the heart-rate details and try and guess when I was trying to catch the "breakaway" (Keith/Barry/Stefan). Morning and afternoon were a wee bit different.

Ditto for the speed distribution (morning = normal 'bell curve'.. afternoon = 31kph 'statistical anomoly').

Also: The look on Keith's face when I rolled into the parking lot right behind them made that big effort all worth it.
