Cranks

 Not much riding due to the weather, well trail ate least. More just on the road.

 But have been thinking. For the Mistress I'm thinking of not going with DMR's X Type cranks. But using the same cranks I'll be putting on the 29er. The DMR Crisis cranks, mostly due to cost as the Crisis are almost a $100 less and I have a BB already. But will be making he final decision tomorrow when  check the numbers.

Coffee With TBHC

 Today at work worked on a bike from Trail Blazers Cycles from Toronto. It is a long closed shop on Danforth that was cool and had some of the best mechanics in town. Especially the suspension genius Supafly Terry.

 The last 36 hours was hectic. Was called into work at the base at the last minute. So cancelled today's ride out at Collins Bay. But will be able to ride there on Tuesday.

 Now have the brake line on the way, so will be able to have the rear brake up and running as soon as I get the brake line.

 No pic's this weekend so far. Have been to busy to do any.

 Have found another event to do over the April 5th weekend.  On the 5th  in Hilton Falls is the A;; Weather Challenge put on by WOW.  Decisions, decisions. I will make the decision tomorrow after talking with OCA to make sure my license fees went through.

Toronto Skills Park

Today was an interesting bit, let's correct that. It was exciting news. On dropmachine.com it was revealed that the city of Toronto is looking to build a skills park for mountain biking. This is big news to Ontario's mountain bike community.

Hope of Zyme

Today was out at CB riding in the new trail.

Dirty Mistress.





Have some new stuff on the way all the way from Britain. a Hope brake is coming. All that I need right now will be a bigger disc for the front and some longer brake line for the rear.

The other stuff on the way is a couple of items from the Scottish bike clothing maker Endura. A pair of shorts and a pair of knickers are on the way.
