Photo is a bit funky at the rear wheel there, but what a nice ride! And great to average 17mph on a fixie? I don't seem to be able to get over 14 with mine (46/17) Maybe my 61yo legs just don't spin as fast or freely as they used to! Haha

Singlespeed mode today, but almost the same thing. Except for I can coast down the hill at 36mph. Climbing that hill back was interesting not too terrible either. The WI eno FW has nice enough engagement points to stay on the gear really well.

Me too and this one is really cool. Apparently some guy bought it and is restoring it just because...
Stone Church Street building under renovation in Rockmart | Polkfishwrap | northwestgeorgianews.com
Sorry I didn't get more photo's, especially of the inside as they were restoring it. This is a long way from home and I'm typically doing 60+ mile rides when I pass. Lingering for photos isn't a priority but I'll try to get some next time.

Greenwell Avenue, in Montecito, CA.
AMGEN’s ToC Stage Two. This is a Category Three climb. The last climb on stage two, before hitting the HC climb at the top of Gibraltar Road.
There is still mud on both sides of the road, from the January 2018 mudlides.

Mission bell on the campus of Cal State University Channel Islands. This is the former site of the Camarillo State Mental Hospital and reputedly the inspiration for some of the lyrics of The Eagles Hotel California.

@jsigone nice ride. Is that the HWY 56 bike path? Just noticed your location. I'm headed out now for a little work on Mt. Soledad and then Fiesta Island before work.
Also @eja_ bottecchia loving the Santa Barbara County pics. I lived in Goleta for 10 weeks in the summer of 2009 while interning at the materials research lab of UCSB. I rode all over between Ventura and Solvang - love it out there!

@eric044 It was a charity ride so lots of riders of all speed ranges. nothing would have changed climbing wise or crusing speed wise, but the downhills I got to 42mph just coasting with slower packs riders on there brakes and cars doing 45-60mph few inches to the left of me. I was often in the cars lane to pass riders that were taking up the bike lane. The FW was my extra layer of insurance for stupid **** not to happen. The 18t fixed is on the other side of the hub

This picture is at the bottom of the Bates Rd. climb, on the way to Highways 150 and 192.

Flared bars work best for carrying pizza.
