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 won't be there next week but people should remind me and I'll be in the week after. Sounds like a hoot.

MIT has a functioning fission reactor in the middle of campus. Right across the street from the functioning cyclotron, apparently they need (or needed) the reactor to power the cyclotron. You know, right in the middle of the city. lol. I miss MIT.

The funny thing is that the city of Cambridge has an ordinance against transporting nuclear material through the city, raising the question of how the MIT reactor is supplied.

They've got a fission and experimental fusion reactor. Both are research vessels (the fission reactor doesn't produce electricity) but I believe only the fissile fuel is considered as nuclear material. Typical fusion reactor designs use radioactively benign hydrogen isotopes and even in operation emit relatively low level of radiation.

Hey if anyone goes to this let me know what the track is like and how it is riding the turns; from what I understand its just the regular running track right. I ask this because the community college 2 miles from my house has an asphalt track that no one uses and reading this post made me think of starting my own races there. I am just kind of wondering how long the sprints are and stuff like that, sounds like it would be a good time.
