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)

Have a friend that wants to trade me a Velocity Deep-V laced to an Origin8 fixed-fixed hub for an unbranded aluminum seatpost and some dough. What's a good amount of money.

Did a 20 mile dirt road loop today. The roads were freshly graded, so it was more like riding in a small amount of sand, plus head wind on the second half. Not as fun as I thought it was going to be, not too shabby though.

Bikes: everywhere

Today I rode deep into the heart of Portland and didn't get rained on. Got a free 2-liter of Whole Foods root beer. Went to singlespeed a sweet lugged Free Spirit but it has fork made for teeny axle. Dunno if I'll dremel dropouts tomorrow or just move on to other project. Rode home in the snow.

There was a poo story also but I think I'll hold off on that one.

When it rains...

And I had it this summer, and apparently riding my bike about killed me. I rode a lot before I knew I had it, and at one point my liver enzymes were elevated to an unsafe level. Take it as easy as humanly possible man.

I am bringing my bike. I plan on riding every time my friend has to go and be productive.

Boar's Head is the best. Legrands stocks their stuff. The salsilito turkey is my favorite.

went to the track with a buddy and did some training, another fella from Canada showed up so we ran a paceline for a while then I ran some 200m sprint pace drills with him. Psyched to finally have a dry day at the track.

I don't know prices in Bahston, but here in Chicago all that food would be more than $50.
