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 think color photography is really hard, but its only because i was trained in B&W. most people in the instagram age tend to think the opposite.

guess it all depends on your perspective

Yeah, the Valley of the Sun race wasn't all that sunny this year. Great photo, hope you guys did well! I ended up skipping 24hop and didn't even bother venturing down to the crit race on Sunday and instead spent the entire weekend cleaning the house.

I joked a few times during calmer portions of the road race.

I thought this was Valley of the Sun... I want a refund!

Beautiful. This is the perfect time to be out and enjoying the desert. I camped for three nights in the Mojave last weekend, unfortunately a storm came in farther north and we had some intense wind kicking up a sand storm.

This is really nice.

I can't wait to build a gravel bike and get out west, probably Utah. Would love to ride Shafer Canyon Rd or really anything around Moab.

Shot from sprint drills tonight. I'm still in last place, but not as far back as I used to be. I look overdressed but it was cold, those guys are just nuts.

Pointing out that the guy in the middle might be nuts seems ... superfluous.
