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)

Descending in the cold is always awful, if you dress warm you are going to burn up on the climb. I try to just do small climbs that I can loop so the descent isn't long enough to freeze me.

Underarmour has a new balaclava with the radiant heat strips, I use it to commute and it is great.

Ever get your BB noise sorted out?

Cold ride this morning. Totally unedited. Frost in the sunlight gave it this weird coloring.

I'm curious to see a gear list. Did you make your own water with Aqua Mira or something, or were you getting it along the way?

it was only an overnight so we picked up water before and after we got to the wilderness area we camped in, there were plenty of options to treat or filter water along the way though

the tarp was dan, the guy on the scott scale. it was his first test of the setup and he liked it, 20º bag inside the same sol bivvy on a space blanket tarp groundcloth and inflatable pad, he kept good and warm. it was 28º when we woke up

my shelter was the grey on the right, big agnes fly creek ul1, sea to summit 46º bag inside a sol escape bivvy, i was generally warm but my toes were still going numb in the morning with 3x mountaineering wool socks

green shelter was prentiss on the 1x9 ogre, msr hubba with a 30º bag and inflatable pad, he said he was nice and toasty in his tent

im writing it up on the blog and ill put a detailed gear list of everyones setup
