My advice....stay at the back with your tri-bars intact. And gel yer leg hair, at least that way you will be stylish.

Cargo bike donut ride?

I think i'm going to put a rack and some panniers to carry some beers. I still have my super sturdy one from my full fendered days.

I'm blowing the cobwebs off my BOB trailer....I can carry the beer. Operator can fill the panniers with styro peanuts and drop all the Sunday riders on the climb's..."How the hell is he passing me with fully loaded pannier's?"

Sittin' up straight to shot gun beers while in the group would cause a little chaos.
Lighting a spliff could cause a rucus as well. Don't forget stopping for ice every once and a while.

Styro..and two beers for clinking factor.

if i was in Canada i would join you guys in crashing that ******fest.

I just got a disturbing image of what a '******fest' would be like in reality... Thanks!

eeeeew

I dunno, a lot of the guys that do the donut ride are pretty damn fast, I've heard that occasionally Michael Barry from team Discovery comes out and rides with them.

operator with his panniers and beers can hijack the lead and steer the ****** down towards nyc. why come to the ****** when the fest can come to you??? he can conscript all the cops off the brooklyn bridge while he's at it.

His dad lives here and has a bike store here in Toronto. He does/did Mariposas I think. https://bikespecialties.com/

Dede Demet-Barry...Mike's wife and an accomplished international racer in her own right.. also goes out on the ride when they are in town. Most of the elite Ontario roadies who live in town also go out regularly. Those guys aren't the ******s tho. I am confident the average "I am so much better than you " rider's/******s are not in the fast group.

Sounds like we got ourselves a Convoy!

Oh man, If you've never been to Bicycle Specialties, you gotta go.

Sooooo many pretty things to look at, and old wooden drawers filled with all sorts of goodies, such as Record groupsets.

Beautiful old track bikes, mmmmm, I wanna go back this week with my camera and take some pics.

Okay guys. This thread is done. Nothing to see here. We are the biggest thread in the forums, so whatever it was that we were out there trying to prove, its been proven! Everyone please move over to our new home because this one is clearly too cluttered!

Bigger is better, hang on that’s what the girls say! It’s crazy cause were only a small group of peeps & to have taken it this far to walk away?
Dose every one agree on this?
Just wondering
Cheers

Um... I'm still in STL.. on DIALUP.

It's so ass..

Did ronin get his wheels built yet? LOL I bet he didn't....

If you guys ever come to ST. Louis, bring your bike. cuz theres this road out here.. which is amazing for riding.. Called Clayton RD. It's ALL ROADIES with BIBS ... you guys would love it..

FTW!

cluttered? i usually only check out the first page of forums i browse, and usually only the last page-or-so of threads i am interested in...any new t.o. thread will just be a reincarnation of the same.

are we actually gonna start a new thread???

It's going to be excatly the same mess of random, nonsensical and the odd profound posts... the thread growing pages by day..

I say stick with the original.

I say keep this thread.

and if no one agrees, I'm gonna post in it everyday to keep it alive.

Alright, I saw the new thread. I just ... can't.

I love you bloated thread! <3

I may or may not make this one- I crashed my 'cross bike in the Don yesterday /hard/. I feel like I got hit by a bus-I could barely crawl out of bed this morning-my organs hurt. Bent my forks back about 3" too, now my 'cross bike has toe overlap Looks like the frame made it through OK, though.

If I have time I'll swap out the fork from my IRO to the geared bike, otherwise I have no ride.

Gut check? Hope your OK Homie.

I don't know how fast you can be with a stick in your front spokes.
