the best thing about spring is that all the roadies come out for their maiden voyage after a full season of inactivity with their winter-wizened lungs and scrawny-white legs. after riding all winter, its the one time i'm more fit than those twenty-something racer types.

little is more satisfying than blowing right past some cat-3 dude on a madone in full kit on my 25 year-old fixed gear conversion wearing a pair of levi's 516's and a hoodie.
