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)

Yeah, my distinct lack of treaded tires makes life tough on days like these. By the way, congrats guys on the race yesterday. Sounds like you all ripped **** up, though I'm a bit disappointed that Rob didn't win...maybe that means I have half a chance of beating him at the ghettodrome this year. Or not.

*sob*

I've been off and on the phone all day with the wife who's been giving me the play-by-play. I've been *****ing and moaning to my coworkers about how this 65 & sunny **** sucks.

Way to hold it down.

Man, right after I left you guys I fell three times trying to cross the tracks on Centre Street. I hate those effing tracks! Then, on the way home, I got a flat in Coolidge Corner. Man, I hate my effing front tire!

Hey Psn, I don't feel too bad about fifth. I lost to some legendary riders. But I do feel bad about not scoring the hubs that fourth place won. I blame the Silver Line bus that suddenly appeared in my path. Man, I hate that effing Silver Line.
