Club Ride, Non Payors and City Functions.
Got out this morning for the usual,albeit,colder Saturday club ride. Once again I opted out of the fast group to ride with some intermediate level riders. Since the season is winding down I find it nice to actually ride my bike at a moderate intensity and enjoy the experience. Unlike the fast group the slower groups offer a decent pace without the "drama" and egos.
Troy,Michael and I got delayed so we chased three of the ladies out to Laurie Park to get in some high intensity work. On the return to Bedford we had a group of six riders with a 30kph average. The paceline worked well and everyone rode real strong and steady which, frankly, was a treat. Cudos to Susan, Adrien and Venetia. The ladies are quite strong and are riding very well.
Had to open 2 disputes on Ebay. Seems one of by auctions got targeted by a troll who refused to honor the transaction. After my patience ran out I filed negative feedback only to have the individual retailiate with malicious comments and outright lies.Ebay tells me they cannot remove the remarks but should reinstate my feedback score to 100% as it troll did not complete checkout or honor the transaction.
Unfortunately I opened a second dispute today......I bought and paid for a set of hockey gloves on September 11 and did not hear from the seller until Oct 11. I asked for the gloves(if he still had them)as he suggested a refund. My feeling is he either didn`t want to sell them for the price I won them at or had sold them elsewhere. No response. Sent him another email two days ago asking for a delivery update if he has mailed the purchase or a refund to my Paypal if he has not sent them.No response. I`m a patient man but enough`s enough. Ebay is now involved and I want my $100 reinstated to my account.
Had a voice mail today when I got home. Seems the city appropriated the gym so my ball hockey has been cancelled for Sunday. There is a group ride doing the Aspotiogan loop in the afternoon(weather permitting) but I might just gym it in the morning and settle in for some football in the afternoon. It will all depend on whether the wind and rain bypasses us.
