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)

A Cinci Thank You!

Just throwing out a "Thanks" to Flyingpig for putting together a damn fun race for 6/6/06. Don't know where the BF regulars placed. I think Keevohn did pretty good. Nothing says "fun" like running a million stairs carrying an egg, a cobblestone, a water balloon and your bike.
Not sure of the mileage. I came in at 13th place with a time of 1 hour 13 minutes. I'm glad I'm not superstitious.

It was a good time. If i wasnt running 81 gear inches and knew my way around cinci, i would have enjoyed myself a lot more. That damn checkpoint at Eden park killed me. I took some messed up route and involved two more steep long hills that lead to a gazeebo that happened to be the wrong one. I stood around for 5+ min just waiting for someone to show up. I eventually found it but came from the complete oposite way everyone else went.

Here are some pics i took.

The stairs on ohio, then the wall of a hill, then more stairs was the finishing blow to me. I started blacking out, no jokes lol.

I seriously thought I was having a heart attack once or twice. Just kept telling myself "Breathe *****, BREATHE!"

Bikes: one less than enough

Thanks for comming. Of the 24 cobblestones that were handed out, only 11 made it to the finish. I was on a run threw Eden Park today and saw one of the disguarded cobbles on the side of the road. Thanks for comming and a big thank you to everyone who helped out.
