I grabbed the Richey pedals, $25 never used, with cleats. Yeah me.

No camera work for the crash!? Being the host/cameraman/safety inspector can be a load of work. Sorry I didn't come out but knowing I was racing today for the first time this year, and the inevitable beverages that would be consumed, was a bit too risky for my un-disiplined self. Sounded like a good time.
As far as the race my knees are aching and I have a bit o sunburn but otherwise a great ride. Our whole crew finished with the exception of Bradyn who snapped his chain...*****mano..already replaced with a SRAM. Think I knocked about 20 mins off last years time and did it with tunes the whole way....good times!

Offhoff, did you need a 3/32 or 1/8 144 BCD chain ring? I have a used 3/32 Sugino 46 which you can have for a beverage consideration or a cherry NJS Sugino 48 in 1/8" which will cost you many dollars. Or if you're feeling hefty, I have a 3/32" Sakae in 52.

Let me know and I can drop it off at Cavern tomorrow if I can. I'll probably need a sanity ride as I head in to the term's home stretch.

The best part is I was going to Mec to get the cheap wellgos. I'm off tomorrow, coffee and a ride should work.

Let me know when, I'll be pulling a late one, but I seem to be nearly out of magic beans from I Deal and that just won't do. I'll probably work steady through the morning, but noon or early afternoon would be a good break. I also may need to go out to Bloor West to pick up a laser printer refill. My cartridge is on its last legs.

i'd like to ride, but if it's raining then i may spend the morning bike building.

Good idea, I am out of coffee as well. I like noonish as well.

EDIT: do you guys know who's working behind the counter on mondays? actually there seems to be a plethora of attractive women working there so any day is good for eye candy. my appologies to 32flavours for the sexist remarks...

I don't keep tabs, really. Audrey Tatou seems to be there most times I'm there. Why would you need to apologize for making a sexy remark?

Project bike help needed... so I've got the big bits (frame, fork, wheels, hs, bb) but i'm still in need of a decent crank, stem and seat post. I didn't get a chance to hit the swap today but figured my fellow forum members may have some suggestions on where i can find these items without breaking the bank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

I would like to mention that it's a simply splendid evening for a ride on the Gardiner. If you have the time to get out for a ride within the next 5 hours or so it comes highly recommended. (Eastbound only, Westbound has already re-opened)

I'm just signing on now. Yeah I was with Toby last night and he seemed to be fine. He does have a nasty bit of road rash on his shoulder and his wrist is kind of sore. He had a tensor bandage on it today. As for last night him and I went to Dance Cave which was amazing as expected. Then while riding south on Bathurst at like 3:00am we heard live music coming out of this house so we went in and "crashed" the party. We got free beer and met some girl who had a flying v shaped ukulele. Her and I jammed ukulele style. Then after all of this it turned out I actually knew the dude who lived there/whose birthday it was. He's a total dickbag not that that's relevent to the story... Great night!!!

Stephen: thanks for a great bbq!

Dom: We're your real insurance. Just give us the guy's address who hit you and we'll go kick his ass. On a more serious note I hope you're okay.
