one of these days i'm going to go into high park cycles and grab the raliegh carlton track bike with full campy sr of the wall and run once i chloroform the owner. i'm not sure he knows what he has. either that or he's keeping a museum.
okay, in speaking to Cam last week over coffee we brought up the idea of this scotch tasting we've been talking about for so long. i'm curious if anyone else has some time off over the festivus break when they're not visiting relatives or what have you. i know i've got a couple weeks off school and at least a handfull off work so i'd like to pick a date and just do this thing. it will be nice and cold out too. whose around and free between christmas and new years?
Shiftless bum
I think Mike should volunteer his new place for this as he has a fireplace. Fireplace + single malt...

Anyone have a pair of decent condition 32 hole 700C clincher rims?
Double wall, single/double eyeleted... SILVER?!!?!
Box/Aero whatever..
Ambrosio? Old mavic? whatever.
All the new stuff I am dissatisfied with. They just keep getting uglier, heavier and blacker.
I'm looking to lace these used Miche hubs I bought like months ago for a winter wheels.
I've just been super lazy.
I BUY YOUR RIMS
PM me. KPLZTHX

It really pisses me off that there are not many good quality, moderate cost rims around. Just more and more flashy crap, and ever bigger, sparklier logos.

He has access to , um.....A couple/few of the Ambrosio rims, but not the whole product line through one of his distributors. I'm holding out for a set of FCS's
merely one page from the catalogue... but I think Keith has access to some of the ones on this page.... the high high end ones are sick yo!!!!

My miches are built to Ambrosio rims, never realized that was such a rarity. I got my wheels from Dave Fix My Bike right down the street on christie from me. Maybe he has a connection.

Still, it looks like some kind of crazy jujitsu bike or something.
Also this weekend seems to be the best forecast weekend in about a month. Sun and cloud, temperature fluctuating in the single digits. No reports of ridiculous wind.

So... route suggestions (other than accross the lake)? I'm feeling uncreative. When i ride i usually just aimlessly meander unless I'm at work in which case someone tells me where to go.

I don't really feel like doing much more than 100km tomorrow, so that should limit it some https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=525805
Is this a ******** route? I can't decide as I don't know the west end all that well.

Dundas can get pretty quick....Burnamthorpe is cool. Less travelled out there might be Bloor and it's just above Dundas out in Mississaguga. Have fun with that looks fun.
I used to ride out to say, Kipling from Leslie queen , then head north on Martin Grove to about HWY7 in Woodbridge. It hurt nicely.

I basically want a quick route out of the city to the countryside, but I for the life of me can't decide the best way.

Okay for country side, without going way west, like west of Mississauga its probably best to hit Mississauga road. Forget going south on it though. Maybe go north. yes! Okay Shiz how far west do you want to go do you care? Because there is some pretty nice country side on the northern end of Mississauga and then we could sorta loop down somehow to come back...

You realize of course you are no longer protected by the Toronto/Lake Ontario Protective Bubble TM, once you get past, say.... the airport. You are then subject to the real rules of weather.
