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 my debit card was declined, so I went online to check my balance: $4.21. And I get paid next on the 15th.

Lean times for kaz. Good thing the show I want to go to tomorrow is free.

If I even mentioned doing anything for our anniversary, my wife would laugh in my face. We have a hard time just remembering the date. My wife is awesome.

I hate the low balance blues. Just got done surviving a week @ $1.89. Today was first day with dough and now I have eaten so much it kinda hurts a little.

A lot of road rings come stock with a handfull of teeth half gone - makes shifting faster, smoother.

Today I: am back at work and recovering after an intense weekend + monday + tuesday of cycling in LA. Legs, surprisingly, are feeling pretty good. Random things:

-Mt. Baldy was ****ing epic. Bring lights next time. Maybe think about not doing it in winter when it snows.
-LA Wolfpack Hustle is brutal. One of my highest average watt rides to date - felt like a proper race complete with nutty pace lines, attacks, and sprints. Have to incorporate some of this style into our SF chapter.
-LA is actually a beautiful place to ride if you know where to go (Palos Verdes, Griffith, Santa Monica Hills, parts of Long Beach, etc).
-LA drivers are ****ing oblivious to cyclists.
-LA has amazing food/beer.
-The Marathon Stick (aka " Jandro's flexy dild' ") was the MVP of the trip and was shared amongst our crew after every ride. If you don't have one, get one.
-Being back at work sucks.
-I'm happy to see my gf, I missed her (queue "d'awwww").
-If you have a chance, go ride in LA, you wont regret it. If you think you can hang, do Wolfpack. Even if you get dropped, it's a hell of an experience.

GIFs, in nor particular order.







Over and out.

You'd have a blast! There was a guy running (I think) 46x15 on a VISP beastmoding it, keeping up with all of us on road bikes. Strava track, if you're interested in getting an idea of the pace.

Today I broke up a fight between two 12-year old girls on the street corner near the shop. They were afraid of me, acting as though the Creature from the Black Lagoon just crawled from the harbor. It was awesome.

For sure I would be drafting the entire ride. It was always a treat to get on Roadblock's wheel because he is one of only a few guys taller than me in the LA "scene". Everybody needs to come out for the Marathon Crash Race. I probably wont try to race again but it still a blast.
