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)

That's sad, I hope you find it. I don't care how dumb it sounds, but if I lost either of my cats, I'd be a wreck.

Oh no... I had a boston (girlfriend's parents took him away from us because he was such an awesome dog), and I must say, losing him would be awful.

I hope you find him...

Psh, none of us actually ride our bikes. You'll fit back in fine.

The Kilo came in the mail last night so after the gym I went home watched the F1 race from Sunday and put it together. Ideal night for a Tuesday. The Sharkgray is a great color. Just need a few more touch-ups and I will try to get a ride in before I head out of town this weekend.

Woke up and did an easy 19 miles. No wind whatsoever made me wish I could skip class today.

Today I got some bad news about my hub. It was really tight when I picked up my centurion, had it overhauled but was told it was like that so long it'll never spin like new.

after one ten mile ride on it, the thing turned into wobbles mcgee. took it to a shop just assuming I overlooked an untrued wheel, but the first shop was slammed, so I went to the guys who did my hub and was told it's probably toast. shimano 600 hub I felt really comfortable on my short ride with it and was looking forward to doing the ms150 on it. Guess it's track bike or bust now. Last time I buy a bike where I know going into the purchase there's an issue with it, luckily the price was already really great ($120) so I'm still not too bad

He was found! One russian lady (i'm russian and there are 3 russian houses out of 1200 houses in subdivision) took him home and he spend a night on her couch.
Irony...but probably he knew where to go...
I was riding my bike around the neigborhood looking for miracle and spotted her, attaching the ad with his picture... 100 yards from my ad attached to the pole.

Looks like he was really ran-away dog, being pissed off... He does not talk to me much... and looks like I need some time to gain his trust back..

Thank you everybody who shared my worries.

Bikes: good ones.

I've never had a dog, but I know I would be crushed if that ever happened to me. Maybe the dog was drawn to the Russian aura. I feel it when I read Dostoevsky.

Just scored a job @ https://www.upperlimits.com/st-louis/

Its five miles from my place. School is ten miles from my apartment. I can officially go car-free.

Today I put myself pretty deep into the pain cave:

https://app.strava.com/rides/6961903

Some highlights: half-mile climb @ 12.3% AVERAGE grade, 1.5mile climb @ 7.2% average grade, sweet rolling dirt/gravel sections. I am on ~80gi, btw.

Not bad for a 'commute', eh?
