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)

Though it amuses me, I do wholeheartedly dig that you're rockin' it. Just not what one would expect someone who is shredding to be wearing.

Neither. Four bottles of CVS house brand mouthwash, which is about half the cost of Listerine.

Good deal.

I got a haircut on Tuesday. While waiting (at the cheapy place) for my cut I looked at shampoos. They had stuff for $28.00 for 8 oz. Went to Wallyworld for the $3.95 JUG.

You can also get a 'steak' at Luby's or you can go to a proper steak house and treat yoself. Both options will fill your stomach, but there is a difference in quality. It's good to have choices. Also, $28 is not as expensive as I have seen at some salons.

The best thing I ever did for my hair was stop regularly using shampoo.

I agree. Crappy shampoo can damage your hair. But there are a ton of great products in the gray area between trash and stupid over priced stuff. I had a some from Costco that was all snazzy organic, no chemicals, sea kelp this, plant oil that, blah, blah, blah. It was absolutely luxurious and smelled great. HUGE bottle for like eight bucks.

That make a big difference. Another thing I find beneficial is to rotate 3 or 4 different shampoos so one washes out the residue from the previous one.

Oh yeah, I get that cowboy feel sometimes when I ride. Days I only plan to ride fire roads I might even take my hat.

At the shop there were a handful of kids who rode fixed that DGAF about dodging or avoiding debris and always came in with crap like this.

A gorgeous day to ride here in the deep south. 53°, sun peeking in and out, wind blowing the bike around, leaves flying everywhere.... Nothing like a blustery late fall day. I love it.


This is a small part of one of my favorite local descents. I didn't want to stop but am glad I did.







Another favorite view on this 40 mile loop...




This is how we MUP in the South. One way or another, almost every ride I do touches the Silver Comet Trail at some point.




I hope you all had a great ride today.


-Tim-

Rim came through undamaged, thankfully. I really like these wheels.

I'm usually pretty good about dodging debris, but it was dark and there's been road work on that street recently -- **** everywhere.

The nail was bent when I pulled it out, so I'm guessing that's how it worked its way in.

25 mile climb up from Cumberland - 2% grade - not as steep as it looks on the map - still the downhill ride home was much faster.

Shop closed on monday for our annual ride out to a house in half moon bay. Partied that night, and then rode back in the morning

I didn't take any pics for the first big climb because I was full gas and a little more trying to catch a coworker, and pr'd the climb by 3 minutes.

This was about 35 miles in



I thought this photo was straighter than it turned out to be



The next morning riding up tunitas creek, burps tasting like tequila the whole time. Got far enough ahead of the others I was able to get a pretty good shot off.
