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)

I just turned 23 on the 4th of this month Ian. Happy bday bro.

I too would kill to be four years older because it would mean that I would be done w/ grad school, making great money, and living in hood river mountain biking year round.

A girl, obviously.

I just wish I could start all over again. Oh well.

Happy birthday HCE; I hope it's a good one!

P.S. You whiny little *****es who wish you were older need to get over it. You'll just waste your life waiting for something else and eventually look back and realize that you missed everything that really mattered. Seriously, enjoy it now.

i know! i tried to get in...but no deal. ah, well, a pretty girl awaits me tomorrow night. "hell awaits" or "girl awaits"....what a choice...

sinfield, hyperRevue...just close your eyes and those four years will pass like nothing. doesn't it seem like it was only yesterday when we were just 19?

i'm in one of those "i love you guys" kind of drunk moods, so i'll say it....i love you guys...

oh, i clicked this time. i thought about going to rickreall, but i didn't like the idea of being out of town for three days in a strange place....it sort of limits your options. i can't go home and nap, or go to a friend's house if i get bored...that sort of thing.
