Notice the kid in the background, also dressed as Batman. haha

I should post photos of my little guy playing dressup. He is NOT a fan.

my favourite.

Hahaha, those pugs rule. Are they local? My neighbors have a black and a brown pug that are super sweet - but they hate my dog... Speaking of which...

Friday = Beer! Cheers

i rode 100km and back in the opposite direction to darlington provincial park (the 'schwa) a few years ago on a generic hybrid bike... it took pretty much the whole day each way with detours/mechanical difficulties/food breaks but i was glad i did it, and would like to try something similar now that i'm a better rider and have better gear. no tent, just rope between two trees and a couple tarps for the thunderstorm...

Beer (St. Ambroise Pale Ale) and woodfired grill (calamari/etc @ Backalley Grill on Augusta) for lunch today.. noice!

Gonna be a productive afternoon.. *cough*

Exactly what I was thinking. My roadbike doesn't have rack doohickeys, so I'd probably just use one of those seatpost clamp-on ones to carry some essentials. I'd like to give one of those Hennessy Hammocks a go.

it worked surprisingly well: we put our bikes against one tree to block off one end, and a poncho at the other end and it became like a little cocoon.

DIY FTW!

(i finished my errands in 40 min and am now home... helloooo loooong weeeekend!)

I managed to catch a summer cold a couple of days ago... **** the long weekend. :(

that sucks.

or blows.

or sniffles.

I grew up down there and have wanted to do that ride for some time. I would be down for that trip. I've been wanting to try it fixed as well but I'm not quite sure how doable that is.

I went down to Riverdale park with the lady to watch a friends ball game the other night and my lady and I jokingly started to ride up that crazy hill - with her basically challenging me to try and ride up it. Totally blew my mind - and hers as well - when I took a few super deep breaths and exploded up the hill - on 46x16 fixed w00t! Made it to the top in what felt like a record time and was crazy fun. Who's up for uphill sprints!?

Ps. - Bicycle Specialties pics on the blog: http://www.thereisnobunny.com ;)

You made it up that hill at 46x16? Hats off to you, Sir. I find it challenging enough at around 32/16 (going straight up by the stairs). :P

edit: that's obviously a guess of the gear I'm in on my mtn bike.. I'm not running 32/16 fixed. :)

Honestly, I too was shocked. I do LOVE to climb though and have been doing quite a bit of it lately. Guess it's really paying off!

Btw, there goes an *** hole!

If you guys end up doing it, feel free to give me a shout. I live in St. Catharines and have a place to crash if necessary. Not too many fixies down here, actually I have never seen another one. I plan on riding to Oakville to my parents house at some point in the near future , but on my roadie, a bit shorter but should still be fun.

EDIT: Also I am going to be in TO in the next few weeks to pick up an under the weather bag, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on shops I need to check out. The highlight of fixed gear in the lbs's here is a kona paddy wagon, so if there is anything exciting around I'm up for it.

Awesome! Not sure it'll happen but if it does I'll holla!

That hill is nuts, I'm not sure I'd even try it... but the other night we rode the Don trail and ended up at that hill by the main parking area just after the bridge that puts you out on Thorncliffe (c'mon, y'all know it) and I did that at 46x15 and everyone I was with was probably in the same range... we all made it but it was pretty rough!

I have one and they rock. Haven't used my tent in a couple of years.

$200 Al cervelo frameset on CCC. 56cm. 2001. One-off for the Jet Fuel team, according to the seller. I'm still on the hunt for one of their low-run steel frames :) mmmm.. renaissance / superprodigy.

rear brake placement on Specialized's new TT bike:

(also: I think those brakes are part of SRAM's upcoming, top of the line "Red" group)

no big U brake with a Gorilla grip brace on it? ^^^old idea with new application^^^

Sam you still around? Does anyone know if UTW does bag repairs. Mine is falling apart in non-essential areas.

Op,

Re: Break-in, (s)he/they had proper locksmith's tools and opened up multiple locks on multiple doors. They've been going around the neighbourhood breaking into various places - earlier on in the week was a friend's vet clinic. Luckily, they're idiots - they took the first bke on the rack and not the one worth 3x that amount hanging on the wall. Anyway, the shop's secure now so **** them and life goes on.

Tam and I rode along the eastern edge of nottawasaga bay a couple weeks ago from roughly la fontaine beach to wasaga and back along tiny beaches road. It's nice up there :)

I'm in.

i'll see you on the uphill sprints idea if we're riding up the brimley hill...

what about caledonia rd at eglinton? i climbed the (what i guess was) 20% grade about halfway before giving up.


wasaga beach would be a good weekender. you think we could get away with camping on the beach?

yep I'm still around, you guys just make so many pages on this forum I seem to miss big chunks at a time even reading it regular like

sure we repair stuff no problem, ez as pie. Just drop it off at a bike shop & let me know which one.
