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 don't know exactly what it is but I feel like it's a permanent 'art' installation. It's right in front of the performing arts center.

Escaped the monsoons here & headed a bit south 2 weeks ago:


Hit Rhyolite bike park on the way for a quickie


New-to-me trails at Oil Well Flats were fun, most importantly dry


Set up the tent at Pueblo Reservoir & hit some trails at sunset.


Stopped in Colorado Springs on the drive home for a double-shot of Captain Jack's.
-----------------

Almost clear skies during a quick ride w/the pup around our local park. Wow, that grass is never that green in May!
-----------------
'
Forced to pedal local pavement due to continued monsoons. This is normally just a smooth trickle of water.

I had similar thoughts when I was in SD. Minus the ocean, of course.

this is just before I ate it and messed up my RD. So much fun tho I'm not even mad.

Edit:

Turns out it wasn't my RD. RIP kmc x11 sl

If only I had some sort of trail dedicated bike or something, this whole situation could have been avoided...

I've read that the aerodynamics of peace signs can slow you down.

I am jealous of all the elevation you have to climb.

Wasn't going much faster when I was actually moving

#aeroiseverything

I'm lucky I live at the base of Mt. Hamilton. 15-20 min to the bottom of the climb, and if I go to the other side of the bay, a lot more climbing that's actually under tree cover (!)

Just starting out. Will I get rained on?



It held off and I finally stopped for a pic.



A few minutes later I could see the lightning.... it was time to head home.
