Cavernmech: You guys are going to the provincials this weekend, right? Are you heading up on Saturday? I was thinking about coming out for Saturday and/or Sunday, but now I have nasty bursitis in my elbow so I'm not sure anymore. They're doing a cross clinic at Hardwood on Saturday that myself and Mike were hoping to do.

3) I haven't seen you since I've been back dude! This must be rectified. :beer:

2) I actually have very little hope of THAT officer getting in trouble. My strategy is more to get an official response from the police I can take to my councillor. Then I will harrass my councillor and then I was thinking it might be nice to show up with a massive group on bikes to city hall and ber VERY present at some meetings. I don't have any experience with city councils in particular so if anyone has some advice I'm all ears.

3) Absotutely! Work has been completely restarted lately so I've been a friend slacker fo reals. We should all get together for some beers this week. Whaddya say? Locale suggestion?

Are we talking about the kind of little brother that rats you out/says "I know you are but what am I?" incessantly/attempts to fart in your face etc.? :D

This idea has a high level of utility. My brain isn't awake yet as per suggestions though...

Jeez....call the Waaaaaaaaambulance. I will not be going on Saturday. Unsure just now about Sunday even....I have some matters that require my attention. The cross clinic would be a waste of time for me. The only thing that they will show you guys that you already don't have a handle on is dis-mount and re-mounting....pretty simple really. I sat around for most of the clinic 3 years ago because of all the people that had no handle on off-camber or dis-mount. I am not sure how much you will get out of it...Mike has been on his bike on the trails enuf to prolly not get too much out of it as well.

re: Hardwood lessons, I agree with Keith

I took the "advanced mountain biking" course there 5-6 years ago and it basically worked out to a $100 group ride. 2 or 3 of us ended up splitting from the group with one of the instructors and basically just rode all day. Probably only worth it if you've got zero experience.

muahahhah. :D

Yeah, I was thinking of going mostly just for something to do. Although with my elbow the way it is, I think taking it easy is probably the best idea!

i always thought cycling skills were something that you learned on your own...

Everything I know I learned through the VelonewsTV How-To channel.. ;)

Not really, but the cyclocross ones had some small bits that were new to me.

To whom it may concern: after much deliberation I have decided that I also believe that pie is superior to cake.

On a serious(er?) note: Keith I just realized while cleaning my apartment that I have my saddle/seatpost, scewers and pedals here. Should I bring them to you in anticipation of the arrival of my bike?

I always find it sad when Canadian atheletes have to basically resort to begging and bake sales.

damn so these cats are repping Canada and don't have regular/sufficient funding to actually get to events? Weak! Imma give em some money when next someone paypals me, and maybe put their links on our website.

See those wanting to compete in the Madison are 48G+ short of what they need to get to these competitions...and after Canada got such props for gold on the track last time..

anyone play polo here regularly that wants to test these puppys out?

I believe there was supposed to be polo at Trinity Bellwoods this past Sunday but that the weather caused people to shy away, which means there may be polo same place but Thursday night, don't listen to my scuttlebutt though, check here regular- - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2251962807

Halloween Race? Well seeing as no-one has announced a race on Halloween yet your guess is as good as mine. If past race announcments hold true expect it about a week before the event. Nadir is doing something on the 23rd weekend I think. Not sure if this is a "Halloween' race or not....a week and a half before Halloween doesn't seem right.

The SSWC's are gonna be in NorCal next year. Who's in? You've got roughly a year to get a SS mtn bike together and start cross-training (ie. drinking).

yeah, i just read about this year's in scotland. i've always wanted to go to one of these but could never get it together. plus i don't really "mountain bike" but that hardly seems like a problem given the all inclusive fun environment of these things. reminds me of what the beginnings of mountainbiking must have been like...
