what kind of bike did you use? and what's the pace? If you are a roadie and could bike at around 28-30km/hr on average, we could bike together. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-15 {166} (#8291125@0)
some good routes to take in mississauga are heritage road, mclauglin, mississauga road, etc, that u could bike all the way to caledon, orangeville, niagra emcarpment.

Long time no see, Charlie! -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-15 (#8291157@0)

Jekky you fixed the problem with your cervelo S2? What happened? the headset? or the fork go wrong? -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8293211@0)

I have a road bike, but never tested the speed. I am not a bicycler. BTW, your place is too far to e. Thanks. -mcsdocp(mvp); 2013-7-15 (#8291478@0)

If you ride a road bike, then you are called a cyclist. If you ride a mountain bike, then you are called a mountain biker. No one is called bicycler! ;-) -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-15 (#8291627@0)

What's the name of who riding hybrid bicycle? No one cares about what kind of bike I am using, I am not ..ist. Every people who likes ride bike is called bicycler in common. I have my own yacht, but nobody calls me captain. -mcsdocp(mvp); 2013-7-15 (#8291697@0)

Hybrider? Nobody calls anybody bicycler. There's no such a word in English dictionary. Yacht? So you are a tachter, right? -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-15 (#8291754@0)

another comment, I called myself and others who biked everyday avid cyclists. Usually the words "biker" refers to people who ride a motorcycle, that's my understanding which maybe wrong. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8291969@0)

Charlie, nowadays my long rides (over 100km) would average over 30km/h. ;-) -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-15 (#8291630@0)

u are faster now Iron. But be careful I am catching up. I run 10+ km everyday at evening. Commute on bike for 30km everyday. and biked 100+km every weekends. I am only averaging 28 km/hr becasue of laziness on a solo ride. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 {69} (#8291968@0)
BTW, I became far skinner than before, not to your extend though. LOL

I either bike 50km a day, or run 20+km a day. Plus I swim too. ;-) -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 (#8292111@0)

You are focus on races but I prefer to shape the body to the fittest. That's the different. I am hesitant to live up to u to loose all of my upper body muscles. LOL. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8292205@0)

But I feel I am faster enough for now. Once a while I came across some cycling club riding groups and I could ride with them without lost at ease. I could ride at 30km/hr if I didn't get lazy. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8292220@0)

Running 10k a day is great for your fitness and endurance! Perfect cross-training for any sport. -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 (#8292114@0)

called me up when u will ride at the caledon area. Caledon is a good place for cyclists with many beautiful quite country routes, just like leslie, warden street at GTA north. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8291970@0)

Would love to do that one day! -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 (#8292109@0)

You go faster becasue you trained so hard for races. I just want to take my own pace. Don't want to overdo myself. But one thing u gona become jelous of me. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 {337} (#8291978@0)
I have added many new bikes to my fleet. I have a race ready TT bike, a full XTR equiped hardtail, a Ridley cyclocross, 3 road bikes(one red group, one chorus group, one 105 group for commute). I think I have more bikes than u now. 6 good bikes in total with different purpose. I will post pics later on if I have time. u will drool. LOL

You crazy man! Six? You just caught up with me in the number of bikes. ;-) -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 (#8292107@0)
please post your full XTR equiped hardtail. Thanks! -winewine(酒); 2013-7-16 (#8292119@0)

It's full stock exactly like in the link -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 {287} (#8292194@0)
Iron, u are a more expert on MTB than me, so have some comments.
as I see the XTR group model is the lastest from shimano website. Changing the brake pads is not as straightforwards as do it for road bikes. the brake could easily get drags if the brake drum is not pushed inside enough.

That's a nice hardtail XC MTB! Full carbon + XTR + SID! My Scott Scale has a similar setup. -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 (#8292290@0)
wow! I should update my mtb sooner. 借贴问一下，谁想买山地车？专业入门级的，我1/3原价卖了。 -winewine(酒); 2013-7-16 (#8292640@0)

上片片 -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 (#8292816@0)

definitely after I got home -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8292850@0)

我想买辆入门级的. check you PM.thx -haoyue(Mingjue); 2013-7-20 (#8299366@0)

我有convert 我的old Marin nail trail mtb to touring bike 的打算，所以不卖了。你先在sportscheck打对折的时候买部300-500左右的mtb 骑一下，如果很喜欢这项活动的话，再买好的。 -winewine(酒); 2013-7-21 (#8300302@0)

My two babies -iron(1/2 ironman x3); 2013-7-16 {123} (#8292293@0)

Charlie and Ironx3, 借题问一下，哪个品牌的山地车可以换成hybrid 轮胎走长途unpaved road trip?也就是converting a mountain bike for touring。我有mtb和road bike，不想再买touring bike。 -winewine(酒); 2013-7-20 (#8299385@0)

Really could this possible? I am using tubeless for my MTB. It's 26 inch rim. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-22 {575} (#8300627@0)
I thought touring tires should be 700cX28-32 that could not fit into a MTB rim, both in terms of the diameter of the rim and width of the rim.(700c=27.5"). I used a 700x 32 tire to the front of my specialized road bike for commute, even the fork didn't fit the fat tire well(the inside of the fork touched the tire if I pump the tire to 80psi +)
so the question really is about what kind of mtb frame and fork can accomodate bigger sized wheels. and u should consider the brakes too. Did touring bike usu. used cantilever brakes for added clearance for muds/leaves/debris?

26"rim with slicker tire are fine for the speed. The most important thing is the handlebar. replace one or i adjust front end buy will still kill my back. -winewine(酒); 2013-7-22 {268} (#8301312@0)
Aluminum frame may not carry too many luggage. disc brake should be fine. i need to add fender, racks. of course not as good as touring bike. did some google search. x-cross mtb is best for convert. maybe buy a touring bike is the best way to go one or two weeks trip.

我。在MISS 随便骑着玩玩。有空一起骑 -ddli(晒太阳的路上); 2013-7-16 (#8292987@0)

sure we should find times to have some fun rides. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 (#8293195@0)

The cockpit -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 {44} (#8293216@0)

This my TT bike. I bought it because it's so sexy. it's a "sao che". Iron u are welcome to make a comment. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-16 {43} (#8293201@0)
好呀，没问题。 -mcsdocp(mvp); 2013-7-16 (#8293256@0)

I live in south mississauga, and ride every evening along lakeshore west. where do you guys ride and what time? -hiking-lover(遛弯爱好者); 2013-7-20 (#8299288@0)

I run every evening so I only biked to work and at weekends. I usually took the route north to caledon area for the beautiful views. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-22 {338} (#8300619@0)
Mississauga rd, Mclauglin, heritage road are all good routes. yesterday I biked 95km to Grange side rd, and mountainview rd. Such a breath taking view!!! saw lots of cyclists on the road. Grange side rd is up/down like riding in a wave, very good on climb training. Lakeshore route is a very classic one that I did for so many times.....

by the way, this is my first year of road bicycling and ride with club. While I am okay ride in flat roads, I am always be dropped climbing hills. 请教各位大侠 how can I improve hill-climbing skills in a short period? Thanks! -hiking-lover(遛弯儿); 2013-7-20 (#8299294@0)

多练习爆发力和耐久力。技术上：change to the correct gear on time. 硬件：买辆好一点的车。铁兄我说的对不？ -winewine(酒); 2013-7-20 (#8299376@0)
Change to the right gear ratio according to the slope. Tried to keep the cadence steady, 90rmp and above is perfect, at least 80rmp. For really long and steep slopes u have to stand up to rock the bike to climb. -civildrafter(chalie); 2013-7-22 (#8300611@0)
