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 I shaved my head for the first time, and I only cut my dome a few times too. Not much different than a close buzz but zero friction when I rub it with my hand.

Not really. This is the first time I've been sick since we moved here.

When I lived in MA I would get sick more often in the Summer than Winter too.

TdM crit Cat3: I finished, which is more than what a lot of riders can say.

It was fast, and tough, mostly strung out. Also, I had a slow leak in the rear, was prob under 60 or 70 PSI by the end. That's OK, the next one will be better!

[MENTION=303015]Mumonkan[/MENTION] took me in the woods, and I now realize how much I suck at "mountain biking". Had fun though.

**** yes. Cycling and fixing bikes are things I know I will do for the rest of my life, give or take a few degrees of intensity. And it totally kicks ass to have a girlfriend that rides because bike dates are top notch and I'm a ****ing hero when she needs me to fix her bike.

(yesterday) I did my frist cycling event, 70 miles all on a single speed.
I was only one of 3 people riding single speed, and the only people who did the full 70 miles was me with a freewheel and my buddy going full fixed. Guys a monster.

Today my brother did the "Gran Fondo Ocean to Ocean" in Panama on a fatbike ( [MENTION=303015]Mumonkan[/MENTION] style). Not surprisingly, the only fatbike there.

He also got to meet one of our favorite cyclist "Big Mig"
Wish I could have been there. Happy for my little brother.
