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.

... leftover beer makes Mike not-so-good in MS Paint.
Ferry was fine. We ended up not finishing there (it was way too packed w/ kids). That was just the initial after party/screwing around on bikes location.

Glad you had fun EyeFloater..... sounds fun. Third overall? Super!!!!! Some of the check point clues can be completely weird. and even the most local messer can be all WTF? Helps even things out. Sounds like they did a pretty good job. Any more word on the crasher? Happy Fathers' Day to all the Daddys out there. I'm heading up to New Market for the fourth time in two days about lunch time. My wife is doing an artisan festival thingy up there. Have a great day all.
Round trips there and back x3....urgh, least this time I'll stay for the afternoon. hmmm BBQ
Kaibot...the springs in those Campy's are flippin' awesome. Mine was 15 years old before it finally broke and I was still gettnig great response from it. Overall my fav brake, though I've got a designers' eye soft spot for Campy Delta's (haven't heard great things about them though).
