Re: Two riders needed for Canadian Luxury 24-hr US team

[Tim Morin]

I attended last year, and I had a great weekend. The meals were tasty
and filling, the people were awesome, and the trails are a treat no
matter what size uni you ride.

Man you Canadians are proper wusses. 'Proper 24 hour races'
(http://www.strathpuffer.co.uk) have you camping in the woods at -7
degrees C. That sorts em out for sure.

Team USA vs Team Canada is no long an option. there are now 6 canadian
riders riding (unless more people wish to sign up and bump two
canadian riders into the solo category)

We will mix the teams up on perceived skill/unicycle wheel size to best
equalize the teams (I'm team captain of both teams so i can make that
call :) )

Why don't you come here for a -30 Celcius Muni ride. We'll see if you
can last the two hour ride, nevermind the whole night. -7C....that's
cold...wuss.

Awesome, do you have any rideable trails when it's that cold, or are
they all snowed in too deep to ride? Cold trails are so much fun. For
sure any time I have to be in Toronto at the cold time of year I'd be
up for that.

We in fact do have rideable trails most of the winter. The skidoos and
hikers keep them packed nicely. The colder, the better. Last few
rides i went on, it felt like i was riding on concrete. If you are
ever in T.O. let me know if you're up for a ride, whichever season it
may be. I'm only 3 hours north from there.

Hey Joe - I'd use care with this guy, Tim Morin.

I knew a bunch of North Bay guys and gals who comprised an ultimate
(disc) team called the Nads. (Go-Nads!) Seriously. Those were some of
the craziest, hardest-partying mofos I've ever bumped into. As I
recall, they all had that same look in their eyes as Tim has.

They'd take roadtrips to tourneys by renting a U-Haul truck, setting up
a keg, stereo, and sofas in the back and driving umpteen hours to their
destination. Upon arrival, they'd all fall out, the floor of the truck
covered in a mixture of beer and sweat. :eek: They'd play hard
ultimate all weekend, and pile back in for a similar return trip. They
were all big, meaty monsters.

I only hope we draw Tim for our team in this race. :D :D

I think ultimate disc is like football. We were playin golf with discs
at the ski hill.

Although, there'd be a fair chance i may know some of the people that
Steveo is referring to.

and by the way, we only have that look in our eyes before we're drunk.
After a few we look pretty well normal.
