Cheers. What kind of gearing have you used for the long rides like PBP? I just turned 40 yesterday, hope to still be kicking ass at 62.
As I turn 40 I have also past the 1 year mark of commuting and hauling by fixed gear nearly everyday. It has had a remarkable effect on my condition in that time, and hope to keep getting stronger.
