Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Would love to but DAMN...I'm working in Oak-town on Tuesday.

Why not a shorty tonight? I might be able to swing that way...

I'm back b*tches!
Luckily for you all I'm also 5 lbs heavier, thanks to not riding for a week and being fed total junk while in PA.

I'm down for some riding, but 7:30 is a little early for me as I work in donkey-**** Scotts Valley and it takes me two ****ty hours to get home. I'll call you when I get back to the city and see where you are.

I don't know, maybe at 7:30 maybe later, just plan on meeting up at whenever and I'll call you when I'm back from work to see where you are. Remember, it takes me five minutes, at most, to get from my house to the bow and arrow...

cool! let's keep it at 7.30 then. Most likely we'll be hanging out there until 8 anyway playing bicycles.

I've been meaning to come and mess around with all y'all, but haven't yet made it. The lack of home-internetery hasn't helped either.

Anyway, I'm going to a freelancer party with an open bar on Tuesday, so I won't be able to make it. Not that I have any skills (except for the no-hand track stand) to contribute.

Henry, I ride down to San Jose (60 miles) and get a ride with Darian over to Scotts *****-ass Valley, but it takes a looooong damn time. Sometimes I ride caltrain and take the highway 17 bus, or get a ride with Darian, but it still takes a long damn time.

Mario, you should come out riding sometime dude. Party with an open bar trumps any ride, unless it's a ride with an open bar.

The open bar is 6-9, which is more than enough time, really.

I'll come out the next time I get the chance.

Sounds like a good time. If my legs recover from yesterday's marathon by then, I'll be there.

Sweet.
Let's do this.
Pub crawl, December 16th.
Details to follow in the next few days.
I even have a small, "closed-course" race we can do...

I'll try.

BW circs have been weird to learn for me too. I kept trying them and kept failing for quite a while. Then all of a sudden it clicked and it all made sense. It's kind of like abalone diving - until you catch your first one it seems impossible, but once you got one you'll know what to do.

I can probably come if it's a bit later although I am going into work a bit early tomorrow for dodgeball practice. Aside from that, I have to commute back up from South Bay but can try and come back early.
