I know there are a few of us with class at 4 on tues/thurs, but I realize its impossible to find a time for everyone on a weekday, Mon/wed/fri works better

Ok, so all things considered, and after talking to some who are coming, it appears Tuesday 4:15pm at the cannon is the new rain date. Maybe they'll just show a movie in those tuesday afternoon lectures... so its no biggie to skip. Unless the forcast does a 180 tomorrow, see you all tuesday

Tuesday looks great to me, and even though bayden doesn't believe in forecasts, it was correct and tomorrow doesn't look promising, and tuesday should be sunny!! Also I'm seeing if I can get some of the triathletes from the provincial training centre out, they're cool and quick too

To be clear in case it wasn't before, TT IS on Tuesday now.

Don't know where you guys were, I rolled up with my studded tires (as previously mentioned) and not only tore the road apart but set a blistering 77.1 km/hr avg speed.

So I was going to use my dish rims for the TT tomorrow but it looks like that won't be happening. Somehow I managed to puncture one of them in my quick test ride around my complex. $150 down the drain. God damn Tubulars.

well Bayden...the team car was right behind him...the mechanic just didn't know if it was Record 10 or Super Record 11 (I know...you have full Red). The myriad of high-end equipment was dizzying. clearly, it was the mechanics fault for getting dazzled by the bling which made for the slowest wheel-change ever...probably cost him the race too.

okay addressing the above "burn" by rachel (which i will take offense to, clearly its the best she's got). My cadence is so phenomenal that i could break wind for you slow pedestrians in my granny ring which is a 34. what now?!

i want some serious trash talk on here this afternoon
(also i want to put the disclaimer out there that you can only expect so much from a post comatose athlete just trying to make his way back to the world of cycling.. .)

lol @ Bayden
I'll be coming out to this fine event. Unfortunately, sans team car. But only because my team manager wouldn't allow me to take the team car to non UCI Pro Tour events.

As a long time veteran of this forum, i do believe Rachel's burn ranks on the burns of all time list.
So put me down for $5 Rachel takes Bayden, and another 5 bucks Rachel takes Fruety! I`ll be on Guelph Campus Thursday from 2-5pm to collect. Since that comment is in direct infraction of the "World Comittee of Sport Union Internationale" (In my French accent making stuff up) guidelines on gambling/betting on sport, change the 5$ to a coffee and I should be alright. Heck our PM and Obama bet a case of beer on the olympic hockey game. If they do it then it's okay for me to do it too.
But I do ask WHYYYYY would you be riding a compact crank? I don't think they are advantageous for Ontario unless you are a female rider looking to go to town on a steep climb and leave people behind who (like me) are riding the traditional "manly" gear setup.

Mark: Nice cadel reference. Though I bet andrew didn't head-butt anyone like cadel woulda.
Boyfruit: I love your burn that doesn't quite hit the mark by telling us what superior flatulence you have instead of what a great cyclist you are. Top shelf.
Mike: Happy to have you descending from the lofty level of PRO-UCI status to our underground shindigs. Way to represent the streets.
Michelle: I accept your wager of a case of beer should I go faster than Rachel. I would accept Rickards Red or Sleeman Honey Brown. And Rachel can't have beer, because she's training for TTs, so there we go.

Michelle I have a compact crank, I think its great. But then again the frame of my bike was built for climbing, and I intend to make that a specialty. Also running a 11-26 in the rear helps me from topping out so easily.
But ya, I'm about had it with these wheels. Shenanigans shall be called the next ANYTHING that happens with them. I'm almost prepared to just toss these on ebay and get a nice set of Reynolds Assaults clinchers. Tubulars are so comfy and so light, but GOD DAMN they require upkeep that I am not willing/able to provide.

change the 5$ to a coffee and I should be alright. this is a clarification post so someone else can read it in witness should Bayden try and pull an admin edit, although I am quite confident Rachel will prevail. The coffee can be substituted for A beer though not a case. Bayden IF you win I will buy you a beer. Rachel, if you WIN you get nothing because the win is good enough for you that you don't need anything else to be satisfied. Re: Compact Crank... I`m really bitter I don't have one for climbing cause 1) I know I could get up those climbs much faster on my mtb or with a few more gears, 2) my body physically can't turn my pedals up anything steeper than like a 10% grade.

After your first 10000k season, you will actually understand what you just said.
