  1. I wrecked my truck Saturday and thus can no longer drive up to Canada to
    participate in the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous 24 Hour Race" on
    May 21-22. I've already paid for my spot on a 5 person uni team ($150
    CAD/$123 USD).

    So you can guess why I'm posting. Would anyone be willing to either:

    A. Buy me a plane ticket to Toronto.

    B. "Buy" my spot and race in my place. I'm willing to sell it for less
    than the full fee.

    Info on the race is at http://www.wowmtb.com/. Click on "events".

    PM me and/or Brian MacKenzie if you're interested.

    Thanks,
    Frank

  2. Frank that really sucks. Sorry about that. For anyone else who's up for
    it, this is a great opportunity to participate in a unique 24 hour
    endurance event. Their setup is so cool: a cabin for each team of 5, and
    a limit of only 22 teams (plus 15 soloists) means that you will never
    feel crowded by bikers racing much faster than you. We will have 3 teams
    plus a soloist unicycling this year - a significant percentage of the
    total.

    If you're at all interested, read this thread from 'last year's event'

  5. No need!😄

    After much thought and deliberation, I've decided to turn lemons into
    lemonade and simply live without a car for a while. I was taking my
    Comm law exam, dreading the rise of my insurance premium, when it struck
    me, no truck=no insurance=no gas ($45 to fill the tank last time)=no
    parking tickets=no life-threatening crashes=no friends asking if I'll
    transport their furniture.

    To celebrate my new freedom, I'm using the dough from my totalled truck
    to buy - not another 1 ton ball-and-chain - but a roundtrip flight to
    Toronto!

    I realize this may seem like the spontaneous and irrational decision of
    a sleep-deprived college student during exam week. But I've actually
    been considering saying farewell to car culture for a while now, this
    just gives me a good excuse to follow through with it.

    So, um, that said...can someone give me a ride from Toronto to
    Mansfield?

  7. What time does your flight come in? I'll be working during the day and
    won't be able to make it to the airport till about 5:30ish or later
    depending traffic (which at that time on a friday probably wont be very
    good) If your willing to wait I'd be happy to come and give you a ride.
    Just PM me the details of your arrival times and flight # and I'll come
    get you.

  8. Congratulations on your decision. I've considered the carless lifestyle
    for a while too. ...although I hope I can get there without wrecking
    my truck.
