The wife is working tonight so I was thinking of going out for a mellow cruise w/ bevvies this evening...perhaps along the lake. Anyone interested?

These are programs entirely funded by public donations that go a huge way to improve the lives of people living with a terrible illness. If anyone can pledge even $5 or $10 that's still going to buy meals for several people in the food bank program (even a little bit will make a big difference).

Okay, that's it! Sunday we're off ... the shop will be open (skeleton crew in effect) but Elaine, Phil, Sherri and myself will all be en route to Montreal for the week. If anyone needs bagels/illegal cigarettes, let me know soon. ;)

I will pony up $50 for ya. I will pass on the cigs and bagels but a nice 1 litre can of 50 would be great! :D

Cheers!

Happy birthday man!

There are no other events (well Ziggys mtn bike race is the same day but meh) and this gives us plenty of time to get it organized up right. Anyone have a prob with this date?

I probably won't be around that weekend.. Usually try to get outta dodge on Labour Day weekend. Might head to NYC.

Hi Filipe!

Lawsuit on the way... Wes you should have said, make like a grade 7 and use a pencil, or even better, don't use anything and throw it in the btm of your backpack.

Hi guys!

I'm in Stirling/Bridge of Allan Scotland! I'm off to Manchester tomorrow, London sunday, and then Dublin next week for CMWC. I've only been here one day and I'm already ecstatic about the amazing cycling here! There are real hills. Thank dog I brought my road bike and not my track bike (am I even aloud to say that on this crazy forum?!! 'Cause I just did). I hope you guys have a great August and sorry I didn't get to say bye to many of yous but I love you all. In a platonic way. Except you Rob. See you in September! Seacrest out!

Well now that Chicken is disgraced it looks like my skinny ass has no even skinnier role model to look up to when I go up the rockies. Where can I get some of this 'Ecopure'?

MattRennick: yup thats me, man word travels fast on the great internerd. Do you read BME alot? its actually amazing how many people i have met wroking for that site that are fixed gear riders. In november i organised a "tattooed kids invade the terrordrome" trip to the london veldrome through BME.

Yes! Great Bars Sweep242! thanks again. vbmenu_register("postmenu_4938300", true); vbmenu_register("postmenu_4938300", true);

I read Shannon's blog & Modblog more than I visit BME these days and I stopped contributing to the community in any real way some time ago... I used to hang out on the old BME BBS and was much more active back in the mid / late 90's... Sounds like I should have stuck around - that Forest City trip would have been dope!
