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)

Hahahaha. Thanks, Jesse. Leuky, I (and the other two guys, Adam and Dan) went on all 6 Rapha Cycle Club-lead rides over the Festive 500km Challenge, including a 106mi century. For that, we got mugs made with our caricatures to be displayed in the Cycle Shop. We will be getting our own as well.

Today I: accepted an offer to join a fellow WPH:SF rider and his teammate on the MASH NAHBS TT race to Sac. 71mi, fixed. Should be ****ing awesome; I'm stoked.

Ferry from Jack London all the way. It's pretty breath taking if you decide to sit out doors on the upper level of the ferry and feel the wind in your face, plus you get a up close and personal view of the bay bridge as approach and eventually you go under it.

Found our new polo spot. Bonus: I've got an in with the city's Parks & Rec administration, so we might be able to make it permanent. It'd be freakin' awesome if we could paint some lines on it.



Also I was riding along on the bike path, tires FULL of mud from my failed mountain bike session, and ate total **** trying to take a hairpin turn way too fast. First time I've crashed my bike since I was a teenager. There were 3 feet of skid marks from my bike sliding sideways, it was hilarious.
