I bought the bike around a month ago and have since logged more than 300km on its wheels, most of which was in a series of 50km rides down the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryerson.ca\/vtoronto\/wwwsite\/themes\/cultrec\/html\/downdon.htm\" title=\"Lower Don River Valley\">Don Valley Trail<\/a>. Sadly, the weather this month has not been all that cooperative and so I have not been able to get as much practice as I had hoped. Speaking of which, the weather for June 1st looks to be a 90% chance of rain, which will no doubt take most of the fun out of the ride. Luckily the ride is for charity so at least <em>someone<\/em> will benefit, even if it isn&#8217;t my soggy ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The day for the 2003 <a href=\"http:\/\/ww2.heartandstroke.ca\/Page.asp?PageID=1366&#038;ArticleID=2169\" title=\"Becel Ride for Heart\">Becel Ride for Heart<\/a> draws near, and I just thought that I&#8217;d take this opportunity to request that you <a href=\"https:\/\/ww2.heartandstroke.ca\/Secure\/Page.asp?PageID=23&#038;SetLanguage=English&#038;RedirectPageID=1513&#038;RecordID=9657\" title=\"Sponsor Ian Stevens for the 2003 Becel Ride for Heart\">sponsor me for the ride<\/a> if you haven&#8217;t already done so.
