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)

Today I came home, got my front Rando from my friend finally(also a pair of pedals and cages), I put the tire on the rim(Label being in an uneven spot, quite frustrating indeed), tried to take it off and put it back on the way I meant to do it, but Randos suck and take way too long to take off or on. I put my wheel-build up on my bike(photos soon) Franken-f*cked my polo bike together with old wheels and other crap I had around,, broke my chain breaker, bought a cheap one from CVS and broke it as well, was late to polo at that point and it was raining, so I went straight to Taco-night so I didn't get there late, hung out with friends there, had a couple beers, went home, went online, tried to sleep, took some Percocet for my back, and got back on here.

Today I was woke up by a bunch of drunks arguing in my driveway at 2:30 in the morning, advantages of living in the country? So here I am functioning on 3 hours of sleep, sort of, still need to build my new frame, want to go for a ride when I get home because it is beautiful out, but all I really want to do is go home and take a nap in my gazebo.

Today I'm going to the bank to take care of some business for my summer internship! And then I'm having lunch with a professor, and hopefully going on a ride this afternoon. Maybe I'll head to the co-op tonight to rebuild the Track for my pops.

Don't sweat it; things always work out. If it's a hard class, the curve will save your butt IF you tried to put some effort in.

Today I went and spent a few hours in the park with my friend and enjoyed the sunshine while we tried not to get blown away by the wind.

Put a rack on my mtb to make it a little more versatile than a straight up XC machine and this will make commuting through the valley and trails really nice as I can pack some small panniers and lose my backpack as it is getting hot.

Am going to ride through the valley tonight.
