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)

We still have a ways to go. This one was 60 miles/6k climbing and the ride we're training for will be ~90miles/9k climbing I haven't worked out like this in a long time. There are still even more challenging rides in the are coming soon but I need more than just a few weeks prep

Portland's worst day of the year ride was cancelled due to having bad weather so I got a good 15 miles in the snow. Never realized how much more of a workout it is when pushing through powder.

SDGE/ Sempra SD.

Office/ engineering is located here.

As a result of recent events, if they interview you, be sure to say "safety is your #1 concern" for extra points.

It rained here 3 days ago if that counts.

Also brisk 45F morning commutes are nice; especially when you live in a mountainous area where any valleys/ insets act as cold sinks to support the aforementioned temp.

I have a beer on rare occasions, it's just that I can really easily go without it.

Misspelled helmet, but I like it. Helmut.

sd (though ive never been) sounds like its just nice all year round and never gets kinda cool

id live anywhere in cali at this point, was thinking about tahoe because mountains

pro tip for once you move out here:

a great way to show people that you're not from california is by calling it "cali". not sure if you care but just sayin'

Portland is the jam, one hour to the mountain or one hour to the beach. Only bad part is the people and rain.
