Lesson of the day is I climb that "hill" at 1/4 of the speed of everyone else  lulz wat dat 207 lbs body weight do? Also, new personal record I hit 59km/h chasing Henry down that hill.

It's not cheap, but it's not crazy.
I spent:
$1,000 bike
$100 helmet (needed)
$220 shoes (optional)
$52 pump (needed)
$30 iphone holder (optinal)
The shoes and jersey are optional. You saw the shorts I wore, I am used to it now so I will wait on the bibs until I get a better deal or I might buy from amazon.com / wiggle.com
Also, I am pretty sure that 4age was toying with the idea of selling that bike you rode too, so consider this the test ride  He probably had it planned all along 
You can also find shoes/accessories on kijiji. Another good website I found is http://www.wiggle.com

Yeah good ride guys.
But yeesh, everyone needs to learn to warm up. The pace was pretty high right from the get go! That "hill" Vas speaks of is actually not shabby. I didnt know there was 1 hill out there  That would be the only hill of the ride imo.
The Cannondale is not for sale man! I'm always tempted to sell it, but I won't sell it.
What I learned today: SHANE IS FAST.
WTF. First time out, on a bike he never rode before... in traffic which he is not comfortable in... with platform pedals, and handicapped by my dumb decision to single speed out the Cannondale. He still rocked it.
Euphoric, where you at?  He definitely filled your shoes today BAHAHA
oh and...downhills just suck. Those are the worst

Oh and Vas - to get faster, stop surginggggggggg!
Find a pace and stick with it. And attempt to hold it for the duration of your ride.
Especially in a group scenario, you want the pace to be relatively consistent. If you want to accelerate the group to a higher velocity, move the speed up gradually and slowly.
You'll notice that at the beginning when I was pulling, we were holding like a 33--including up the inclines. That's the way to do it

Well you mofos made me lead as if I know wtf I am doing so I wasn't sure what pace to keep and I didn't realize 4Three is a freaking animal either.
You know you are getting PWN3D when the guy who hasn't ridden flies by you on a SINGLE SPEED UP A HILL. When he did that hulk rage ensued in my head. I stayed with him for a bit and then I felt the puke coming up and I thought it would be GNSP...I was wasted.
So going forward I am thinking of doing a longer ride at a more comfortable pace. My goal is to average 30km/h on this 20km route by end of summer. How should I tackle it, keep doing the route or start doing longer rides to break it up and work on endurance/etc?
Or maybe I should just go to that hill and do it 5 times up/down during every ride...?

LOL sound barrier.
I timed myself on a regular ride that didn't have as much change in elevation and I was coasting at 34km/h for 16km and didn't break a sweat. I am saying for 30kmh on that particular route would be good.
Longer rides it is then. On the way back when you pulled away I stayed with you and pulled on Henry and wanted to pass you both mofos (show you how it's done  ) got close, but then again man I felt some Greek lentil soup making its way up my throat. What a joke.

LOL That's good!
It means you're really pushing yourself! You're obviously really willing to give full gas as often as possible. You'll gain cycling fitness really quick (bc u arent afraid of dishing out the pain).
And uhh. I totally was just drafting Henry man
Next time out I'll put on a bigger gear so we can have more fun <3
You doing 34kph on flats with ease is excellent. Clearly, both you and henry are sprinter types. I will have no hope to keep up with you two on flats after you guys get some more miles in your legs.

you guys are much too kind. vas, when we were on that hill, i'd been riding in the back up till then, 4age and henry sped off, so i thought i'd take a turn letting you ride the draft. later on henry took us on a detour and on our way down 9th back to 7, within 2 blocks they pulled 1/2 a block on me.
i've got a long way to go, but it was really fun so i'll see if i can get an el cheapo bike. something ugly and cheap that won't fall apart; it just needs 2 wheels and a saddle, and has to pack away into my trunk so i can come out and play.
europhic is much too modest to say, but if he ever got on a bike, he'd fuck up the earth's rotation. at the very least, they'd have to repave the roads due to all the burnt rubber. true story.

Wish I could have rode with you guys so I ended up going out later the only hill I know that is close by, averages at a 2.1% grade but maxes at 5%. I went up it 4 times and my calfs were hurting to the point of spasms  . I have a long way to go but I'm happy with it being my 4th time out this year.
It sure takes a long time to get back to speed when you haven't ridden in a while. Love the group rides, let's keep them going!

Damn Shane, you're a beast. I wish I could have done that on my first time out.

Just came back from a wedding...no idea wtf is going on but 4three is a monster and he is being humble.
Other than that, i got a lot of work ahead of me.
Jeff, post your strava. Your top speed means nothing without the elevation, I could hold 80kmh on a flat road, no elevation data, no care.

It's not a comparison - only went 7.5km from a BBQ one way with the app on. I just downloaded it. The point to my post was that I misread your post and thought wtf who runs at 30mph as their average (almost 50km/hr). I did not notice you had kilometers at first.
Ill post more data as I use it more.

FYI to all interested parties:
We're looking to make this a weekly thing.
Sundays--every Sunday. 8AM.
I'm thinking to do Leslie/Hwy7 as the meeting point, as it's somewhat central for everyone. Meeting at the Tim Hortons--same route as our first time out.
Whoever can make it, will make it. I'll put together a weekly PM list. But post here if you'd like to be added.

I am probably out for weekend group rides due to wedding coming up.
Should be good in a month, plus it will give me more time to train.
