Good luck! and keep an eye for the Team One jerseys - it's a whole crew of fixie/single speed, uh, lunatics? doing the Lifecycle as well.

Maybe we should get him a "license plate" to hang behind his saddle bag that says:

FIXIE
Others are just wannabes

All the very best Pete, we know how much this means to you. NorCal will be just a little more bland without you around for the coming week. Looking forward to another epic writeup.

The thing that really got me through the real tough spots last year was thinking of the times I rode with all of you...You've all given me great memories that I'll keep with me forever. You are all wonderful...beautiful individuals.
I can remember and find comfort in our great times together.
You are my family...Thanks!
I'll see you all when I get back
Love, Pete (Taxi777)

+1000 to the previous posts. You'll be the talk of the ride, of that I have no doubt!

I hope it's safe and fun and full of tailwinds and awesome camaraderie.

Does everyone follow the same route? I saw signs on skyline in Burlingame today ("aids/lifecycle, single file please" or something like that). I'm on duty this weekend and usually check on the water reservoirs up there around 7am so I'll keep an eye out for you Pete.

Once again, have an safe trip and thanks for putting in the effort for the cause.

I saw Pete at about 8am this morning and he was looking good, if a little damp. He stopped for a second and then hit the road again. I saw a few other fixed gear riders later on (Pete was the first) and a few tandems, a recumbent, lots of funny jerseys or accessories, and lots of body shapes you'd never expect to see on a 500+ mile ride. But everyone seemed to be having a blast.
