Hahaha... in keeping with true Toby style his intro post gets beleted by the mods. Great stuff. Hey Toby, "TRACK BIKES... LAME!!!"

I'm heading out today post "brunch" - I realize it's 10:30 on the long weekend the lady is hell bent. My body is aching like the ol' man I am from learning one foot over the bar skids and those side saddle skids... but I'm dyin' to nail that *****e to prove my relevence (Thanks Denny Crane).

Anywho, I'll start madly dialing when I'm done and perhaps hook up with some of you fine folk.

Hey Toby: Mission accomplished. You know what I'm talking about. Oh wait you can't read this. You'll probably read this later on my computer or something. Meh.

Ryan if you're up to no good I'm your partner in crime. Except a bit less gay than that just sounded.

Edit: I love how the moderator told Toby to utilize the rules of English grammar and then two sentences later says "That's boring and make you look stupid". That my digital friends is gold.

Damn sham. That's what I get for not turning on my computer for days at a time. How was the show?

*ahem*

So I wake up this morning and I'm all like, "Woo, day off! Time to get out and ride!"
But the gf's all like, "I've got to go to work, here's your list of cleaning to get done."
And I'm all like, "OMFGWTF?"

Pwned.

DrBenway 05-21-07 11:12 AM

jeremywhitehorn 05-21-07 11:28 AM

TRaffic Jammer 05-21-07 11:30 AM

lol... dang Guitar Hero II for PS2 is fun...we got it for my daughter's 10th...what fun...I think I need to get a second guitar... I hear there's a wireless one.

zippered 05-21-07 12:31 PM

yeah it's a perfect day to ride, which is exactly what makes me want to hide at home! i saw some footage of the lakeshore trails and it looked like a zoo *shudders*

so instead i'm doing some mending in the sun, and maybe go for a ride later tonight to watch fireworks.

I_bRAD 05-21-07 02:58 PM

Don Valley today= fun. There was a billion cars in the lot at pottery road, but surprisingly it wasn't too busy at all on the trail. Either that or we just kept getting lucky windows. :)

I have family there and had some time to kill on Sat afternoon. Figured it would be well spent on a ride with John.

Figured out what the creaking noise was as well, turns out the left crank arm has 2 cracks in it. Crapola.

Also, I brought some vintage golf clubs from my cottage, 13 in all and there are going out in the trash next Monday night. Anyone wants to grab them for polo mallets, come and take as many as you want.

That is all.

Fireworks at Ontario Place at 930. I'm going there now (it's 9:30 now so you have to act fast!)

Sweet! I'm all over that.

canice 05-21-07 08:45 PM

i think vintage clubs actually have quite a following. i read about a historic golfer's society in toronto that meets regularly to smack around some balls in full classic garb: shants, socks and tams with all wood clubs. maybe they're worth something?

not that i'm discouraging their being reinvented as bike polo mallets.
