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)

I cleaned the house like a mofo today. Ready for tomorrow's party when it gets all dirty again.

Weekend has been full up with family stuff. Really cutting into my riding time. And I have to work on Monday, so who knows how much extra time I'll even want to spend in the saddle past my commute.

Today ( yesterday ) I was at the container store and caught a jar that fell which also happened to shatter in my hand. Got a pretty sweet gash just below my middle finger that started to bleed quite a bit. It was freaking an employee out. I washed it in the bathroom, but as soon as the water hit my exposed nerves I started to get woozy i sat down, passed out and was forced onto an ambulance and taken to the ER. All for a one inch cut. Whatever they're gonna have to pay for it.

Congrats. I received my residency last month and moved up. I'm sure you'll be happy to not have to make that trip as often.

Today I am back from camping, getting ready to head into work. It was so good to get away, first road trip on the bike, which performed really well. Next season though, I will invest in a slightly larger cog as some of the hills were more work than I liked.

Awesome, i'm feeling the new car fever as well. Getting really tired of driving my granny's Camry and planning on buying a used Cherokee XJ.

Today I talked to my lawyer about eviction proceedings, after my roommate has made it clear that despite giving me 30 days notice on April 29, he may not be out of the house by May 31.

today i finally completed my goal (that i set for myself last year) to ride a fixed gear century

honestly wasnt as hard as i expected it to be, and i even rode the hardest ride ive been on.
this time last year i felt worse than this after a 45 mile ride, and im not even destroyed

https://app.strava.com/activities/56657712 for not playing the metric century game

im very happy today.
