This is the North Bivouac/Far North Centennial Park map that I made as a joke, because so many trails get put in by snow-shoers, skiers and so on, that it just becomes a maze for most people and they have no idea where they are, often end up going in circles. I took the normal names and then changed them, a trail named Hansel and Gretel, I re-named Harry and Larry, a trail named Southern Comfort, I renamed Canadian Mist, and so on. Most are real trails in their "approximate" locations, but done as a parody. The "drugs" is a parking lot where people are often up to no good in a beat up vehicle. A few things were added and changed from this version. It got so popular that people wanted copies, so we made silkscreens and sold them. Bike shops put them up.

A friend put up this map in a location where we do a lot of summer rides...to try and help people from getting lost. I added most of the funny things when I found it on a ride (and happened to have a sharpie):

And then we (the original drawer of the helpful map) got together and made a version to get silkscreened, once again by popular demand. Once again going up in bikeshops and garages around the area:

Here's one of the "adventure route"...."trails" that a friend posted. Some of these are not worth the time...like this one. A few are a cool diversion, but not this one:

Ya, I live in Tillsonburg. Umm.... No.

I was working in Windsor a few years ago and there was this super super old lady who was always hanging out in the lobby of the hotel. One day I overheard her talking to some of the hotel staff.

"I grew up in Toronto, that place was bullshit. Then I moved to London, also bullshit. Windsor? More bullshit"

I laughed my ass off.

I was going to put this in the "it's not all bad news thread" but the allure of the nipples was too great...
