Tonight was the weekly ride that leaves High Park (across the street from my house) and heads out to Port Credit. Its basically like a Donut Ride. I don't know how to make that a hyperlink but you can google 'Donut Ride Toronto'. The only difference is that there is a smaller group, the ride is shorter, a different route, and the ratio of racers to non racers is higher. So , basically it has little in common with the Donut Ride. I guess I just compare the 2 rides because a few of the crazy riders from the Donut show up here. There's this one dude who is really hairy, he looks like a starving gorilla and he has the weirdest fashion sense, and looks pretty awkward on the bike. Try to stay in front of him. There's several guys like that. Fuck, I may be one of them.........They probably say 'that dick in the green and white, with the sweet Italian bike and perfect 100rpm cadence, he is always chopping wheels.....he raced for Kurzawinski last year....'
Tonight the hero's of the ride tried to take us on a different route. I guess it was ok. Seemingly less traffic than going down the Queensway.
Anyways a few of us either got caught behind a light or let the main group get away.....I actually can't remember now, but it was me, and Bobby and Ian from Wheels of Bloor and 1 other dude. We didn't seem to be catching them, and we were hitting all the lights. Then after a lot of strong pulls by Ian and even stronger wheelsucking by me , Bobby took a long one that basically launched Ian into warp 9.7 and he took off and caught those guys up front. One of which was my Teammate Johnny Power. The power was on tonight, but still on the ECO mode, always saving some for the sprint at the end. Although Ian managed to beat down that Sweet Pete's guy like a red-headed step child up the final sprint climb, always good.
Basically it's not that friendly a ride, I mean no one wants to talk with Z-Team in those funny kits, and the guys riding independant.......you can never recognize them from week to week.
Anyways, no crashes, no car accidents, no flats.
