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)

HereNT - I didn't get to meet Tim et al, but some guy came up to me and said "Heeeeey! Guy from Minneapolis!" and when I told him I was from Chicago he didn't believe me, I think he ended up just walking away. I DID ride with some fellas from Dayton Ohio for a while though.

Paraleisure - no problem, yeah we probably should have stuck some cardboard in there too or something, too bad that didn't hold, glad to hear its back in working order. Although pink DOES bring out the color in your cheeks, I guess you will just have to win the next local alleycat as well.

Good times. The race was fun, the skids were sick (I agree, I think Tony did win) and the keg ran out too quick. If anyone has pictures to post I would like to see them.

Also, does anyone know what's up with the posting of results of this years CCC? I'd like to know how I finished.

Jose Cuervo, what kind of bike were you riding? You shoulda found Paraleisure and I, not that you necessarily know who the heck we are. I think we are all anxiously awaiting photos on this one, maybe crustedfish will fill us in if any are posted on another site.

I was riding a 2004 Pista. I believe I had on a black Adidas track jacket.

You're not the Hyde Park-er I rode partway back with, are you? Otherwise, I guess you were the OTHER 2004 Pista.

I believe I'm the kid you rode back with part of the way, in any case... Are there any pictures from this event?

Wow, another moldy oldie dug up from way back.
I still haven't heard anything about pictures - if anyone would know it would probably be qwerty or crustedfish.
