subject to change, maybe closer to 40 miles...make it worth it.
I'll actually do a bikely if this happens for sure. we could do a Tiburon loop...maybe some ideas from everyone.

Ah, trying to kill me, I see.

The game is afoot, Trebek.

Jeez. I'm riding 16 mile commute on the fixed. It is an experience. Even with the brakes stopping feels like an adventure. I really notice every minor hill, up or down.
So there is no flippin' way I'm going to ride it in the City. The City that I fear riding my geared bike in!

Aw come on, where's the good ol' kamikaze spirit?

what about the Tiburon loop...low traffic straight flat...don't be a big poooty:(

I'd be in for a Tiburon Loop. Depends on the date of course. When is Labor Day?

*nevermind Labor Day is too far off. Valentine's maybe?

Perfect, because I do want a divorce.:thumb:

Tricia can come too.

Valentine's maybe?I like.

I like.

TT/prologue is in Sac that day. No ride is going to keep me from my local ToC stop and seeing some guy in an Astana jersey. I root for the 21st. :innocent:

Eh, I've missed the ToC every year so far (and I live and work about a mile from West Capitol Ave, where it passes), what's one more? :P

Can't these two events peacefully co exist? Like close to each other? Or something?

Count me in. I used to ride my fixed almost every day and it has been mostly idle since I moved here. I commuted a couple of times on it but have to admit, my new Marin commuter bike (<$400) is much more comfortable: wide tires, gears, a little shock absorber in the seat post.

But my gearing is kind of high: 45x16. I don't really know the roads you listed but I should probably change that, right? I got 17, 18 and 19T cogs.

But my gearing is kind of high: 45x16.Ouch. If that's "kind of high", I'm boned. 47x16 (77 gear inches) and 38x14 (71) here. The first one was 52x16 (85) at one point... :P

My mistake - I just checked and my chain ring is 48 so it is 48x16. I got it originally with 48x15 but that seemed ridiculous at the time. I was in NY city with no brakes (yes I was young and ignorant, now I am just ignorant) so I changed that to 19 for better starting and stopping, then to 18, then to 17, then finally to 16. And now I have a front brake.

65gi? Oy!

My unicycle is 29 gear inches. Let me know when the fixed gear mix canyon ride is ;)

Ah, forgot about the ToC. 21st or 28th might be good.
