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)

Another ride with coworkers along a river and saw a bunch of bald eagles.
so jealous.

i believe that would be a category 1 or even HC climb but roadies with shaved legs can chime in on the technicality that one
regardless, it was definitely a serious climb. GJ!

I've never rode past the border. Been meaning to ride Chief Ladiga, but I don't have the stamina without driving out that way and starting from there.

The Silver Comet is 61.5 miles long. Then it connects to the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama which goes another 33 miles.

A week or two ago I made it out for almost 40 miles of fixed fun in the Raleigh/Cary area. Good times.
