I love watching videos of girls who are better riders than I am.

As We Know It

Last Saturday, Toronto had what we like to refer to as "amazing weather:" 5 degrees Celsius and sunny.  With such fantastic prospects greeting me, I absolutely could not say no to a big group ride in the Don Valley.  This actually happened to be one of the bigger groups I've ridden with in the last couple of months.  I guess everyone was trying to get one last good one in before the weather turned to shit this week (cold, rain, and flurries predicted until Friday).  Anyway, here's a couple pictures:

 

Unfortunately, I also decided to take a corner on a sweet new section of trail too slow and went right into a log, followed by a tree.  Now my wheel doesn't quite roll straight:

It looks like there may not be good enough weather to ride for at least a week, but hopefully I'll have a chance to hit Joyride 150 for the first time this week.  It's a sweet indoor bike park in Markham.  Time to improve some of my bike handling skills!

Danny MacAskill Way Bck Home

As the Toronto weather segues into winter, my cycling time has become more limited. As usual, there is an inverse relationship with how often I can hit the trails and how many bike videos I watch in any given week.  So, I warn you now that there will probably be an influx of random bike videos posted here as the cold takes hold.

I digress; here is Danny MacAskill's fantastic new video from Red Bull via Bike Radar

Life Goals

I took this picture when I was cleaning up my apartment a week or so ago.  I'd say it pretty much sums up how I'd like to live my life:

I wish I knew how to use photoshop, because I feel like this could be fun with some effects...

First Snow Ride

I really need to get more timely and consistent about updating this...

Anyway, last Sunday we had the first snowfall in Toronto, which lasted about 30 minutes and melted upon contact.  Regardless, I took a ride in the Don Valley with that lovely temperature with my buddies Jake and Wayne and here are the pictorial results:

Just call me Mr. Blurrycam

It was great to stop and session cool spots instead of just riding at warp speed through the trails.   Jake and Wayne are awesome riders and going with them definitely pushed me to try things that I probably wouldn't by myself.  What a fantastic ride!
