Depends on where on the Credit you want to go. For Erindale Park, take the QEW to Mississauga Road and head north. Turn right on Dundas, and the entrance to the park will be on your left. If you're going tomorrow (Sunday), be warned: The Mississauga Marathon is being run that day, and that part of Mississauga Road will be shut down in the morning since it's part of the route. It will be a very difficult area to access.

I've been using a CPAP for 7 years since being diagnosed with sleep apnea (one of the more severe cases), and it's made a huge difference in my life. Although weight and fitness is strongly correlated as a contributing factor, at the time I was diagnosed, I was an avid cyclist and prior to that, competed at a fairly high level as a middle distance runner. I'm sure that I had sleep apnea long before I was ever diagnosed. It was my wife (fiancee at the time) and our group of friends who noticed the symptoms when we went on overnight trips to go camping, skiing, hiking, etc. It did take time to adjust to sleeping with the CPAP, but it's made such an improvement, I can't sleep without it now. And although my machine is old and huge and not as quiet as it once was (I really do have to figure out how to get myself one of those small, travel-friendly ones), I bring it with me whenever I'm staying somewhere else overnight (hint -- always bring an extension cord!). My quality of sleep has improved, and with that, my ability to focus and concentrate throughout the day. I wish I was being treated for it when I was going to school -- although I got my degrees, I can only imagine how much more rewarding the experience would have been. While I can't say that my length of sleep has increased, I can honestly say that it's infinitely easier to get up before dawn for those early starts on the lake!

Don't forget your license! Tight lines.

I also have a pair of the White River breathable waist-high stockingfoot waders. They've served me well for a couple of seasons, although water no longer beads up on the surface. Still haven't experienced a leak, though. I'd recommend them as a good entry-level light-duty breathable.

Beer fridge?

Erindale Park is open all year round. Might be a good idea to pick up a copy of this year's regs when you go to CT to renew your license.

Both the Garmin 60cx and 76cx are spec'ed with the SiRFStar III chipset. I think the reason why Garmin no longer gives these details on their website is that they are deliberately trying to downplay this fact -- they are now trying to introduce a new generation of GPS units that are not SiRF based (i.e. the same models with the "H" designation and the Colorado) Another possibly important difference is the type of screen used. According to the Garmin site, the 76Cx screen is "transflective", vs the 60Cx, which suggests that the 76Cx is better in sunlight without backlight. Another good review / comparison: http://gpsinformation.us/gps60c/g76Creview.html

Woohoo! My first post! The Garmin Colorado's base maps are pretty basic. Only major highways and roads are displayed, along with basic topographic data. However, the units should be compatible with Garmin's full line of maps, although the costs do add up when purchasing additional maps. LeBaron should also have competitive prices ($449.94) -- especially if you take advantage of their 10% off membership deal for $25 (an additional net savings of almost $25). One other thing to note: these units just hit the market, so they'll still have plenty of bugs and issues to work out. But, Garmin has a strong track record for support, the ergonomics are a step above the last generation, and I'm sure it'll be in Garmin's lineup for awhile. Cheers.
