Last Midnight Mass

Midnight Simon has blogged his account of our last ride (the one I started, then interrupted, and final recounting while on bus disappeared into nothingness, and I didn't redo fully). So check out the Midnight Mass blog from my Velolove links. He has posted pictures and a short video clip (I appear at the 4 second mark, screen left. Recognisable by the left-rear pannier on my baby, blinkies under my saddle and on my knapsack, and I'm the only one with bare legs).

here is a little video Simon shot of Bicycle Polo in East Van

to see some of his other clips, search YouTube for "midnightmass" (his youtube user name), and you will also find 2 "thunderdome" ones, from the minibike madness party.

There is another ride tonight, and it looks like we'll have good weather. So I'd better stop and get some sleep. I have to change my chain and do some work on my rear derailleur. Oh, and I have a NEW light. A really bright 3watt LED. It is actually a very small aluminium flashlight (about 4" long) that I have mounted on a removable handlebar bracket. Now if I could rig up some other mount for the 55watt halogen spotlamp from Canadian Tire (it's just as bright as a car headlight), then I could really surprise some unsuspecting motorised-death-agent-on-wheels. HaHaHa, maybe soon. But not for a MM run, too much light would spoil the atmosphere.
