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)

In MA I was getting less than 1k' elevation in a 30mi ride now I can get 1k+' in under 20mi not to mention I'm so not a climber. If i change the ratio to be more suitable for my new terrain it would be far more pleasant than today was. I'll also admit I've been trying to muster the will to sell it to start the funds for a MTN or CX but I just don't think I'll ever have it in me.

Midwesterners love to drive in the passing lane. Drives me nuts. They think it's just another lane for their fat asses to to drive in.

The people I want to curb stomp the most, are the ones that believe they should be in the carpool lane because there's more than one person in the car, but then drive slower than the people in the right lane.

I never get road rage when I'm on the bike. Every time I drive, I want to Mad Max some **** tho.

Hate when people do this haha. I make it a point of leaving the passing lane as soon as I have completed my pass, unless I anticipate passing someone else in the immediate vicinity.

Thanks for asking. A weekender at the local metropark. Set the camera down next to the missing waterbottle and left without both! Fortunately, there was enough Blue in the cooler!

A cooool cat, for sure. Feral, but has access to food/water and shelter in our garage. He takes advantage of shelter during the Winter only, but regularly drops by for a snack. A "User", for sure, but it's been a while since I've seen any vermin around here.

Got a good two and a half hours of exploring Bend, OR today. Wish we had this level of trail access close in to Portland.
