Going for a test ride...

Felt good this morning. No hangover, which is always a good thing. We took Rich's bike to the Gears bike shop, he was having problems with the head set. Good thing we did, it turns out a spacer was missing and it could have cracked the headset or worse if he hit a pothole. He has a specialized and it was the biggest specialized shop in Toronto, he got the best service because he has a specialized. If you show up with a Cervelo, you don't get the same level of service. They're specialized snobs.

We took the bikes out for a 50 minute test ride in the beautiful escarpment county. When we got back, the beer started to flow. Jamie Grant showed up and brought his new Ferrari. He let Davis take it for a ride. Davis almost "peed" his pants. Actually I think he did "pee" his pants. It is a beautiful and loud car, it just screams when you drive away.

Davis took his mom Sharon and when they got back and Jamie had left, I asked Davis if he opened it up. He looked at me and, I quote, said "I'm 20 years old in a Ferrarri, what do you thing I'm going to do"? He said he got it up to 200 kph in like 10 seconds. He told Sharon that because of the picture I did for him and the driving of a Ferrarri, he didn't care if he did the race. His trip was already complete.

He also gave Reid a ride in it. I'm not into cars and not impressed with expensive cars, although I do like old school muscle cars, the kids said everyone was looking at it. Jamie then took Davis to his house to look at his Porsche Carrerra GT. Jamie and Davis had a car lover bonding experience.

We ended up drinking the afternoon away and went for a nice Italian dinner. Rich went going to bed early, and Alice, Sharon and I stayed up till I don't remember. All I do remember is that we decided that I'm going to do the race with the Captains hat and Alyssa's pimp chain tomorrow. Pictures to come.
