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'm tired. Great big awesome weekend.
Also, today I'm still LMAO about falling over at a red light yesterday while strapped in.

I still think he was a jerk for not letting Froome attempt to win that last mountain stage.

That was more his instruction for the team as a whole than just him though, right?

Today I am nursing what has become an infected mess on the bottom of my big toe after stepping on a double-barb fishing hook at the beach yesterday.

Today I'm hauling a new sticker around. Spreadin' the good word, don'tcha know...
****ed up the install though. Frame was upside down so the sticker is angled slightly downward instead of slightly upward like I wanted. Rookie move.

The ****? you have no hair on your legs to begin with...

Also this thread got less interesting as soon as it became a giant chat window for LessonLearned, Jimmy and kaz.

This thread, if you follow it regularly, will become a "chat window" from time to time. This phenomenon is known as others showing interest in your thoughts/feelings/ideas/news. It can lead to back and forth banter until it fizzles out. Sorry for interupting your regularly scheduled broadcast?

...took my only saddle (sold the other three and shipped them out Friday) off the 722 and put it back on the Kagero for my short, daily ride to work. I'll be riding faster (than usual) home, in hopes of finding some of the new components I ordered in the mail!

Jens made a killer breakaway right near the end, it actually looked like he was going to take the stage for a second.

Seeing who posted that; apparently "interesting" is qualified by anything to do with Rapha, poorly composed ground ride pictures run through instagram, or general talk about being a roadie.

I like this guy.

What is a "ground ride", though? Honest question.

edit: in keeping with my reputation:

This weekend I (with some roadie friends): climbed Mt. San Bruno in the worst headwind I have ever ridden in. 20+mph sustained with 30mph gusts according to the USGS wind pattern data. With the ratio I was running (49x18) I can usually maintain 13-15mph, but in this wind it was more like 5-8mph while fighting to not get blown all over the road.

Here is a picture I took and posted to Instagram (I thought it was quite pretty), there is no filter on it, but the composition is so-so. Excuse me for not being a better photographer, with my phone, while on a bike ride.



p.s. I was wearing Rapha arm warmers.
