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)

Nice! Love that Neon Zefal. Yeah this one was all commutered out, was Dad's old bike. Flew down with knobbies last time down. Broke a toe clip last time so flew down with one of those this time.

Today I broke the preloadbolt to my 105 crankset, oh well, glad I had a spare no I did not over tighten it.

44 miles today in the warmth. All I have to say is that damn are the roads dirty around here at the moment and I didn't touch a dirt road and it looked like this once done.

Wanna get out on the trails one day? I did a little teaser ride around North Mountain yesterday, would like to do a longer day on trail 100 or other trail sometime between Thursday - Monday.

It was a killer day for riding yesterday. I really gotta figure out a way to go full snowbird all winter, every winter.

When I first moved to the southwest, I thought snowbirds were a soft bunch of sissies. Now I've come to realize that I was wrong, and they were doing it right all along.

I leave Thursday to go to Michigan (brr!) for the weekend. I could do something tomorrow or Wednesday, but I haven't ridden in a while so I'm not very in shape at the moment. I only averaged 16.7mph today on my 30 mile road ride. I've gone soft. It's a great week for riding though, can't be weather in the 70's!

I don't mind driving, but I also hate it at times, especially to and from work. Commuting helps relieve work stress, driving usually causes rage, at least for me.

Today I started working on a short single track on my parents' property. So far it's really fun to ride on and I don't know why I didn't do this sooner .
