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)

to keep things even, if either one of you guys begins to travel near the speed of light, the other had better tag along.

Happy New Year's everyone. Hope all is well. Hangovers should be over, that person you woke up next to should be gone (sorry, skit) and we should all be engulfed in the frigid winter air, burning our lungs and sweating like Richard Simmons under all those layers. Cheers!

Best to stay in the draft from the start 'cuz bridgeing that gap would be a *****!

For some odd, weird, global warming, petro based greenhouse gas reason it's 60 degrees here. Yesterday I beat 32 hard miles into the winter bike. Coming home at 2AM with a crap gray bike, muck stained legs and arms, a heavy Morelein and Jameson buzz and a loudly hissing rear tire. Yesterday was a...good...day. Additionally it looks like I'll be employed for the next 3 months too. Still getting paid crap but at least I'm getting paid.

Looks like it'll be in the mid to high 40s here in the NJ/NY area and up to th elow 60s for the weekend. May bring my bike in with me for some lunch hour rides... Back in the Poconos, PA it's gonna be in the mid 30s to low 40s all week with mid to high 50s for the weekend. Crazy weather. Last year we had snow already by mid December! Friends from back home in Ottawa, are already complaining about the white stuff! Weird. Ma Nature must've been drinking this holiday season.

well heck last friday i was headed up north with my boys for some skiing and it was 61 goddammit degrees and sunny in mid-michigan. it was fortunately cooler where we ended up, in the 20s on saturday, but the skiing was wicked fast on all that ice. yowzer!

i'm too tired to look it up but i'm quite certain these temperatures of which we speak are not all that unusual. we could debate global climate change elsewhere.

Wow, I remember this thread! I can't believe this is coming up again- is everyone prepared for the new year?

Personally, I feel pretty similar to how MKRG felt last year...and, as well, not enough accomplished over the last 11 months. Sad.
