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)

Yeah, meet us at South Park at 10am. I probably won't be in top form, I got cut-off/hit a car tonight and bruised my shoulder after going over the bars. Hopefully it'll be better by saturday, but I'll ride regardless.

Nope, green fix, in San Jose. Felt ok on the ride in today, a little sore, but not too sore to ride

So we had a good 30 mile jaunt around SF today. We headed out from South Park (start of Bay City Relay Cup) to the Wave Organ, then from there to Lake Merced. From there we headed to Heron's Head which is surronded by a unique medley of industrial smells. We finished the ride at Zeitgeist with a burgers, fries, beer, and bloody marys.

There weren't too many bad hills except Divisadero where we had to walk up the last block, except Tom who ran up it Cyclocross style (you go Tom). Of course for me, this ride was on top of a Cyclocross race I did 30 minutes earlier in the same morning.
I guess having the gear cross bike was good for me since I was pooped afterward.
