weekend ride reports?
Here's mine:
I'm a newcomer to fixed gear riding. Going on week 3. Saturday was my most ambitious so far, riding a 78 mile loop from North Bend to Woodinville. My inital plan was to turn around at Carnation but it was such a nice day I kept extending the turnaround point finally deciding on Woodinville when I got a call from my wife asking where I was. Riding home, I found myself thinking about climbing the Snoqualmie Falls hill on a 74 inch gear, worrying if I'd have the gas to get up it smoothly with cars whizzing close by. It turned out to be much easier than I had anticipated though I was pretty much spent by the time I got home.
Its pretty suprising how riding on a fixed gear makes a very familiar route seem altogether new and challenging.
