Subway or not. It's still 1.5 hours to get home which is quite the annoying. I don't know if you guys have ever tried riding up Yonge st. in the evening. It gets real sketchy north of Lawrence. Especially going under the 401 on ramp.

Got a nice vintage Campagnolo front brake on the Rossin now, to replace the 105 that was on it.
The springs on it are really strong.
I like it.
It feels like it will last forever, which is probably true.

Well, I lived. Did okay too. Lots of fun. One guy brained himself on a pole though ... hopefully he's okay. Other than that ... ya, I'm going to go eat dinner now. Thanks to everyone that showed up and especially Somna for hanging out w/ me for half the race. Joe Bent, his delightful sig.other, Somna and I sat around on the island for a few hours after the race and did some good grass-sittin'/liquor drinking.

Oh operator, taking northbound Don Mills north of Eglinton is awesome - it doesn't have as steep inclines/valleys as Yonge, plus it has a HOV lane.
