it's a double imperial century, 200 miles so about 322kms. TBN puts it on once a year. route runs pretty much out and back to niagara falls.

if anyone's interesed in doing it, it's running june 25th this year.

EDIT: from the TBN site: "As of June 15, 20 cyclists are already registered for this year's ride, including one who will be riding a fixed gear"

so who is it? who here's doing the hairshirt?

What a joker.

even though you're mixing languages, i still think "velo" is the most intuitive.

Assembler isn't dead.. it just isn't used much in daily life. Reminds me of the old demo scene.. those guys were f'ing crazy coders. </nerd>

I love on Futurama that the beer Bender drinks is called "Olde Fortran". :D

^^^^just punked EVERY modern fixie rider^^^^^:lol: There IS nothing new under the sun.
ASSEMBLER just about killed me in school. So many of those coding languages just washed outta my head upon graduation.

that dude invented the lightbulb and could pull a mad trackstand w/ backwards 360s. what the hell am i doing with my life?

no seriously...

I am soooooo tired from last night and really out of shape:D ......... Cavernmech I won't be able to race you on saturday:rolleyes: cause I am taking my Dad out

Don't forget the bar spins.... runnin brakeless too. I feel soft. *sigh*

all my muscel seems to have gone to my herina and belly SUPERSOFT I BE

looks like a chick flick with bikes to trap us guy's into watching it::: EDIT: ok fine I'll go watch it with you

Early 20th century peek at the infamous 6 day race...one of the biggest spectator sports of it's day.
Today the backdrop for the romance would be NASCAR.

keith, this is a long shot but do you remember the star publishing (TJ might have a flashback) a story about local messengers back in the day? ...it must have been 96 when toronto hosted. the story focused on joe diaz and another dude.. long curly dirty-blonde.. i think the photo shoot was on temperance. good article.

That is so classic. If you look carefully you can see the fork has no rake. Totally straight from the head tube. Thats what makes those tricks look so easy. The stunt guys in Quicksilver had the same set-up...mad backwards circles with the front wheel spinning.

I still have a copy of that article in my "Archives"..otherwise known as the skads of manilla envelopes in a box in the basement. The other guy in the article is Tommy "Toast"...a few of you guys met him on the Ronnies patio that day we had pints.

I still remember ripping through the warehouse and almost wiping out on the left hander into the alley whilest test running the course with my boys from MTL. Damn that was a fun event... I may be able to get reprints of said pictures/articles.

Is everyone riding fixed or can you go with gears?

On another note, who's Fuji Track Pro is that on CL? Damned good deal if it is the whole bike. Anyone here ride one of these on the street?

Link embedders = sux.

That is one confusing ad. Does it come with all those components or is it just the frame?

what do you crazy kids say...... FOR THE WIN! right on.... no pics though!:(
edit: tjfix, i've no idea how you found that article so quickly hahaha....

FOR THE WIN was said most of the ride last night and during the food stop in the park

i don't get it...

you must've been a young 'un back then.... keith, get the library of congress out of the flood zone! at least the nike advert is high and dry.

95? was 29

neither did I

While at the rest stop we also picked up a new catch phrase: Go for the gold! (FTG/GFTG) and a new one said to mitch, "the rest is ****!!".

God that was hilarious. What a funny ride.

= young.
