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

I rode a few hours on the new-to-me full squish to make sure it's all good to take out west next month. Suspension is... interesting. I still need to do a shake down ride on the 'cross bike too.

Today I didn't ride my bike at all, was supposed to go on a MTB ride but blew it off and watched 80s horror movies instead. No regrets.

No one was talking about the car in a vacuum. We're talking reality.

I hope you're the lawyer against me.

Not to drudge this whole thing up again, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I had a burrito in the Bay Area with rice in it and guess what, I like it.

There, I said it.

And there's a ****load of great places to bike there.

Today I filled out online forms for my consultation Thursday about my legs. I have bad varicose veins and am experiencing some swelling from it. Ran in my family with my Dad having really bad veins. I am only 43 but I feel like my legs look like I am in my 80's. It is to the point where I don't want to wear shorts this summer. Saw a picture that my sister took this past weekend with my nephew and I am in shorts. Had I known it was that bad I would have put pants on instead. Insurance probably will not cover this but I don't care anymore. It has to be taken care of.

Last night I dreamt I was winning the TDF on my new Wraith. I'm gonna be Supertejano.

Reanimator, some hell raiser 3 and wes Cravens new nightmare(I forgot how bad this one was). Netflix selection is just pure garbage and they wonder why piracy is still around.

I noticed a small gap that appeared in my bar tape due to a combination general wear and minimal overlap in that area. That's gonna drive me nuts.

Hey, that qualifies as a century in my country. One of the many perks of living in Canada.

I'm riding tubeless Ardent Exo's on my Ritchey 650b. They are spec'd at 2.25" but feel a little wider. Def not a pure XC tire. They feel good tho and I like 'em.
