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 was a little bit warmer. Went for a plainclothes cruise by the river and around town. Have a nice day!

Try these for the wet feet. They look pretty dumb but they're cheap, easily packed away, and work like a charm!

The Manayunk Wall. Not many hills in Philly force me to use the little ring; this is one of them.

Say what you want about REI but they were at the local MTB park today teaching people how to ride mountain bikes. I can't find anything bad about that.

Sub-24 hour overnight - I rode from home and camped along Racoon Creek, Paulding County, North Georgia.

Racoon Creek is stocked with trout and the local trout fishing organization had made significant improvement to a trail along the creek. I've wanted to check it out and it was a really nice way to spend a weeknight.
