Ever wonder how your copy of Mayonnaise gets to you.. Here's the binder I keep the current copies stuffed in waiting to be mailed. Cardboard goes between each stack to make sure they don't get bent, folded or other wise messed up. No one wants mis handled mayo, right?

On the road home, along the ship yard. Pretty nice stretch, though the road is choppy.

Stop at the trolley station, and waiting for the train. Small fight broke it, it's a rough part of town, but it makes for good entertainment. They're both grown boys and no one pulled knives or guns, so I figure to sit back and watch the action.

At my stop, my almost hands down favorite thing to do: shoot the handicap ramp. I made 27 dollars, 35 cents, 1/2 a pack of marlbro reds and a pack of gum betting I could go down the ramp with out a brake, with out touching or holding onto the railing or putting my feet/hands on the tires. They didn't know anything about fixed gear control. I would have had more, but some people backed out after they figured out the non coasting option.
I laughed pretty hard.
It's fun though, steep, and nice tight switch backs to make it interesting.

So, I put the Betaman bike on the back of the Jeep and head home. Yes, it's a SUV, yes it's got big tires, yes there isn't a strait piece of body work on it.. get over it.

I hate traffic. If it weren't for the extreme hill that my house sit's on (.75 to 1 mile climb, pretty steep), I'd leave the jeep at home completely.

And, late at night.. after putting the kid to bed, I get ready for the next day. I do a check off to make sure that all that are due to be mailed have been, and tracking what's inbound so nothing get's missed.
And that's how the Mayo get's passed.

Actually, we asked about it once. No money. Of course if I listened to Trek820 line, we have an unlimited money and I should be able to get a stainless steel one.. Guess I better hold a bake sale to get one.

The final step of distro, out of WK's hands, so he can't record it. This is where I pick it up.
Check the mail today, low and behold, two packages. One from CA, one from Australia. Bonus.

Yep, a copy of Riding Fixed arrived, along with copies of One, covering the 2003 Single Speed World Championship down under.
Thanks for the effort WK and whoever else that helped out putting this together. You really should have included a credits page so we know who you are.
Looks like I've got some reading material. I'll leave out the picture of me on the crapper digging in for the first read

Of course, Mayo for the writing.
165, Whitney, Superchivo for photo's and Xrays. From my experience it takes 20 photos to find one good one. And we got a bunch of good ones.
Orange Frog Design for lay out, and finding printing for me. And, of course, Joe Gardner, for having the site that brought it all to one one place.
