And they may be right....punks.

Not at all like you or me now darkmother? Choir Boys we are.Has fixed gear taken the bad 'tude from messers, or is a fixie automatically assumed to be a messengers' ride?

yeah, I suppose disrespectful hooligans have the misfortune of being disrespected by everyone else even when they are minding their own business. One fo the guys we were pacing with for a while was friendly though and impressed that we were on fixies. And about a thousand people asked if we were alright when rob was fixing his flat. So I guess we shouldn't let a few people with last weeks chamois still up their bum ruin our fun.

veteran_youth is coming to meet me at my place in half an hour and we are going to ride. If any of you would like to join, PM me for a cell phone number within the next 30 minutes. Vast apologies to you all for the short notice. Also- giant props for Keith (cavernmech), from whom I picked up a giant load of bike gear today. Hurray wheels!

Okay folks, Wes is over the hump and Mike's nearly there (although I hate to think how long he's going to have to scrub toilets at work). He needs $565 to be in the clear. I'll put up another $50. People, dig deep and help the Eyefloater over the hump too. Yes I know he kinda looks like a monkey (especially in the pre-crash pic) and pretends to have fangs with nacho chips which is weird and disturbing, but he is a pretty nice guy (even if he doesn't know how much anything costs at his shop - I mean anything, try it some day) and he's going to do his all on the Toronto Montreal ride.

I know not everyone is flush but every little bit helps. I dropped $100 bones each, mostly cause eyefloater promised to clean my Ciocc with a toothbrush for a month, but I challenge everyone here to drop $20 or more on these guys. Split it between them or just empty your pockets and give what you can. Even the price of a beer will help, like you really need it you chubby walrus. Apart from being able to hold it over their heads for the rest of their lives, you're supporting a good cause. Chances are someone you know or you yourself may be influenced by the effects of this deadly disease.
So pony up, buttercup. For the half the price of a new jersey, a couple of beers, or a massage (sans happy ending) from operator, you can make a difference, feel good about yourself, and know these boys are going to earn every red cent as they gftg.
Do it. You know you want to...
