To all the folks wanting to hit the Don tomorrow...I don't think i will be able to go. If the temperature continues to be below zero I will have to pass. I froze my lungs once already this winter and I cant risk doing it again. For me -temps + oxygen debt = unable to ride for 2 weeks. Feel free to rally here if ya want...I am gonna wheel build all day if its still too cold.

I might still go if I feel up to it in the morning. If anyone still wants to go and you don't have my phone #, pm me.
trafficjammer: odd that you say that since I was diagnosed with tendinitis in my shoulder yesterday.

Man, IMHO there is nothing worse. I think that's why I still have a tendency to overdress... doc told me once cartilage can freeze/damage <15C. So no more... "woohooo..first day of shorts at 8 degress" for me.
Nice link Shizy.... I'm sure SOMEONE had to have tried it.

re: tendinitis. I make absolutely sure my elbows and knees are warm enough before I go for a ride. I'm usually out the door and on my bike not long after I wake up so my blood hasn't really got a chance to circulate and warm up my tendons yet. There were a few rides earlier in the winter where my elbow tendons and knees really started to ache so now I just deal with being all sweaty when I get to work. I don't have too much of a problem with frozen lungs though...

I've done the lung thing..... I couldn't walk into a warm building afterwards without coughing and hacking up a lung (figuratively), nor could I spin up to speed for fear of taking a deep breath. Made working on my bike suck large for like a month.

I didn't know you could get frozen lungs! One day last winter I rode into work and when passing Bloor and Spadina I noticed the temp was -40.
Thankfully no damage happened, but boy was it cold!

You can freeze the lining by Hoovering(tm'd verb) frozen air in. You really have to be sucking air though. You can do it to your sinus cavity as well.

ps. Keith, I gotta get out for a ride with you ASAP. I'm away most of next week and for the weekend (11-15th) but after that I'd like to get in a couple of weeknight rides and another weekend ride before Paris-Ancaster.
*fingers crossed for warm and, more importantly, dry weather*

Cover your knees with insulated, WIND-PROOF covers! Even under normal pants or tights.

Alright.. I have no idea what you guys are using to take music back off the ipod though, so hopefully you're knowledgeable of such things. Speaking of which, when IS the next meeting? I mean, on account of the holiday tomorrow.

Yeah, I remember driving past Pho Bich Nga when I was in Vancouver with my old band in 2000. We all saw it at the same time and conversation just stopped.. then we nearly drove off the road laughing.

Also: This Girl Talk album is hurting my brain. I need to see this guy live. Best. Party. Ever.
Everyone loves a good mashup.
He just had "Three Six Mafia - Gotta Stay High" (had to google that one) playing over top of "1979 - Smashing Pumpkins", with a bangin' beat... which then morphed into some "Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac". Then back into some other ridiculous Southern hiphop. Ow.
ps. good for a larf: https://www.cjsw.com/music/best_of_2006.html?id=21
