Raise him right - stay outta the skatepark.

finished. it wasn't even a race.

[toivo]

the races where people say they aren't racing are the biggest races going.

like, 'let's go do the tour de ill, shall we? up here and down there- nothing like a race, just like, touring, you know? what do you think? sunday morning say? for a leisurely sunday ride.'

and then sunday morning it's 3-2-1-go and the 'tour' begins.

So many freds out there all kitted up, spinning to finish ahead of the grandparents on tandems and toddlers in bob trailers. Was fun. Got to see some new parts of the city I wouldn't have otherwise.

nice. you beat a tandem and it's like victory ++. those count double.

[RockPharmer]

at least the guys riding the 36" mountain uni's mixed things up a bit.

[toivo]

montreal is good like that. if you're looking for mountain unicycles in a major city, it's a good bet. love les quebecoise libre. it's a pleasantly mixed up city.

where did you eat?

[RockPharmer]

honestly can't remember the name. or street. but they gave me a nice filet covered with soft brie. and labatt blue never tasted so good.

schwartz's deli is the one place there we always hit up. i've heard lots of good things about this place called au pied de cochon. fulfilling a love of pleasure in excess.

blue eh? beer+bikes= a decent balance

[RockPharmer]

we still haven't been to schwartz's. were riding with some friends vacationing for the weekend who said it was meh. but they're from NYC.

people and their smoked meat sammiches. if you're going to be discriminating about something, i suppose that's a worthy topic for obsession. fact--> the winner of the 2005 canadian national bouldering championships ate a smoked meat sammich before competing. proof of the pure power that subsists between 2 thin slices of rye.

some folks will do anything to make a point.

He deserves credit for willfully eating shit so many times if nothing else.

Ha.
