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)

The bike shop where we held the bake sale gave me 20% off that awesome cool cinelli kaleidoscope bar tape (I think someone here has it?) and a new chain for my hybrid so I can sell it.

Today I am catching up on household chores and painting. Verrrry slowly getting the house ready to sell.

Here's the online donation page set up by Cut Cats Chicago, the courier company he worked for.

There's also benefit at Bangers & Lace on Monday, and an indoor time trial event on Friday.

That's so kind of you guys!

Yes, someone happens to have the tape here.
Good stuff.

Me too! (Well, 75.9 miles)

I was torn between doing a metric or a century and accidentally split the difference. Got lost twice, had to reroute due to bridges being out and ran out of water in the middle of nowhere. All in all a good ride!

The Square reader is awesome. That's what we use at the shop.

I've got Caleido tape on my BK as well.

Today I got a ****ing miserable 112 miles. I was trying for double metric, and I got a flat, and my spare tube had a hole in it also. Bu that point, my feet were completely numb from the cold, and I just limped back home. Sucks to suck man.

I wish I had the weather/legs to do something stupid like this. Sounds like a pretty good time.

It was definitely a good time. Got to share the pain with Muffin Man, TheRealFaux, and a few others.

Would we do it again? probably not any time soon. HAHA

Russian River 300k + extra miles, or the Hopland 400k? I was tempted to sign up for the Russian River brevet, but I was in enough pain after my first 200k last month that jumping right up to a 300k doesn't seem like the best plan.
