:evil: But I haven't been able to train for a "hot one". I'll believe it when I feel it. Any forecast we've had for temperatures above 20C more than a few days out have generally not come true... :roll: But any forecast we've had for rain and/or thundeshowers has been bang on, and always seems to s...

You have to work for my department Transport not to have an underground secure bike cage. :roll: That's the least of the problems at TC HQ. :twisted: On topic, I ride a single speed custom build commuter. It's sorta like a hybrid I guess. And I lock my bike to a rack with a lock like this in a lock...

I'm a Winnipeg hasher too, so you've already met one of us. Let me know which one you're planning to join and I'll try to be there.

Just got an e-mail that a running friend passed away yesterday. Ted Swain - one of the Grant Running Room clinic instructors. He ran the WPS Half and I saw him after the race and he seemed okay (a bit off but I thought that maybe he wasn't thrilled with his race). I ran my first marathon with him -...

Staying at the Ramada and definately hitting Paradiso after the race! We have a group of rooms at the Country Inns and Suites...tell more about Paradiso...restaurant? bar? Cheap beer? :wink: Have you never been to Grand Forks and tried the Paradiso there? Yummy mexican food and they most definitely...

Because it's perfectly okay for people (as they do now) to post somewhat, um, "questionable" plans or ideas and really only want to hear unconditional praise or affirmation. There's also a fairly constant critiquing of methods and idealogies anytime anyone posts something... So which is it? :wink: ...

Eee! I just found out that Ryan Reynolds is running this. So, if any of you see him, please use your race belt to snare him and tie him up, and ship him to my house, please. COD!! He's in wave 1. Barring that, maybe take a picture? Pretty please? I guess there is ONE reason I should train for a mar...

agree. i usually buy it the day before. i have rarely ordered in advance - just go get one.

Ok, I'm convinced (twisting my rubber arm mind you). Thanks all!

I'm hosting an early Thanksgiving this Saturday and trying to decide if getting a fresh turkey is good idea.

What do you do? If you buy fresh, where do you get it? How far in advance do you have to order?

I'd go with you too!! I used to swim a lot but have been out of the pool for too long.

Let me know what level you decide on.

edit: There's level 3 too, I might sign up for that at Bonivital.

Well, they're cross tires. It's meant to be a four season bike, the LBS calls them Prairybikes, but whether I ride right through the dead of winter remains to be seen. No name yet Andrea. :think: Good God!!! & yet another one entering the realm of cyclocross [add the roar thunder, the flashes l...

Any fixie fans out there? I bought a custom built single-speed last week and had been riding it free-wheel so far. But, I flipped my hub this morning and went for a ride and it went pretty good. Getting started is the trickiest part so far. I'm starting to feel the love for fixed and wondered if the...

The moka flavour is very good too, just fyi. It seems cheesecakey tasting somehow.

This baby might just fit you. I'll PM you contact deets and maybe we can work out a time for test ride if you interested.

I'm probably going to be selling my Trek hybrid soon - how tall are you?

Happy birthday Running Mania!

To celebrate I'm going to attempt a 20 minute run. The soreness of my everlasting knee injury has been quiet the last couple of weeks and if there was ever a day to give running a go, it's today!

Oh well - Thompson is only a 10 - 12 hour drive from Winnipeg - just a little road trip!

10 - 12 hours? On the old log road maybe ... It's really more like 6 and a 1/2.

manitoba has waterfalls??? :shock: :twisted: Yeah, before the mosquitos lay their eggs they dig a hole in the water. Over the years with the trillions of mosquitos all digging holes, it has created a hole big enough to cause a waterfall. ...or is this a waterfall on Main St. in Winnipeg when the Re...

so on one hand you guys are saying to act like a vehicle and on the other some of you are saying it's ok to ride up the side and bypass all the vehicles. I don't think that's right and it's VERY frustrating as a driver when cyclists do that, because then you have to keep passing them over and over ...

Outstanding report! Congrats on going for a big dream.

Take care of your feet and your spirit.

Good luck and have fun!
