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)

hi,

any sober / non-drinking types planning to go to this? I figured with nearly 5,000 views
there oughta be at least ONE other sober person or group who wouldn't mind a tag-a-long.
I'm near Lower Haight... please PM if you'd like a sober companion.

oh... and anyone care to share what gearing they're using this weekend?

Haha, he doesn't have any "meat free" stickers but one badass red paintjob. Kevin came in from Chicago and is crashing at my place for a while. PM your number and I can let him know that there are some kindred spirits about.

The move at dolores park got moved to union square, which is a crappy place for a meet up tonight. So we'll still meet at Dolores park, top most corner (20th and Church) at ~8pm. I'll try to get there around 7:30. See ya...

indeed, ship the bike if it looks like there will be any kind of delays/layovers/mishaps. that aside my actual travel was fine even with the delays. big thanks to Julie for showing me a little bit of the Loop in chitown!

your fault, out of towners all got drunk at my house yesterday, then went and ate and sobered up, then we went to the park and got drunk again. We'll see what happens today, I gave them all advice on getting around the city...

video of spud winning the burrito challenge coming soon.
I just have to upload it to You Tube or whereever.... after I finish uploading (270+) pics to flickr.


spud ate a giant ****ing burrito in 2.5 minutes. you might think you can beat this time, I encourage you to try, especially after racing through 25-30 miles of San Francisco hills in the sun, including up and down Mt ****ING Davidson (look it up).

Great time, great race. Thanks to everyone who organized it. Here's some screen shots of my Garmin track of the race. Check out my heart rate before and after the Goldschlager shot.
