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)

brans,

Hey! It's another Orlando fixie rider here. Sounds like a great line up for the weekend. What's your guess as to what time things will get active on Sunday for the "fun day"?

Good luck with the alley cat...I'll be there in spirit with you...I'm getting too old to actually do that anymore

brans,

Thanks! Will try to be there. Convincing wife and kids to go to. Youngest son (11) has ridden fixed on the velodrome. He's interested...

Success! I only had one guy get mad at the checkpoint I worked. I think his spandex was riding up.

this weekend was great! everything seemed well planned and went more smoothly than i imagined it would. I dont think the squids ruined anything, i managed to place 8th in the race on my $130 brakeless fixie. seems like a weak excuse to me...

I whole heartidly agree! I placed 13th with a brakeless fixie and that's because we couldn't find the last check point (f'ing volleyball court)... I personally love it when squids roll in these races.. The look of disbelief as I fly by them is always funny to me.. BTW, there are links to flickr photosets of the entire weekend posted on 407fixedgear.com

Too bad my Sunday turned sour real quick... Concussion FTW!




ez!
