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)

Yes, and this was after a week of rain had lowered the snow tremendously!

My condolences. We had to put my dog down last year and it was hard but kind of relieving because she was 18 and her quality of life went down so much but we kept her alive because she was eating and finally just had to say enough is enough and let her go.

Not that I can do much from the internet tubing but if you need anything feel free to ask.

As a fellow dog owner - my sincere condolences. They are an amazing part of our lives. Your little friend is in a better place now. May he/she always be in your heart.

@nagrom Sorry about the dog We lost all three of our Jack Russel Terriers last year. It's hard when they get old and sick. I thought I would never see the day a JRT turned down bacon. May they rest in peace.


Why can I get a capital N in @nagrom

Thanks guys. It was a pretty traumatic event. I wish he had just passed in his sleep. He was severely epileptic. He was only 4.

Emirate Airlines is the greatest airline I've ever flown. Also, it was a dead flight so almost everyone had a row to themselves.

In Bangkok currently. Head to Cambodia in 2 days, then back to Bangkok and then to ****et. I finish up with 3 days in Dubai.

Here are some pictures from today.




If anyone has been to any of these places and has suggestions I would appreciate it.

Beginner session at hellyer with @cali_axela and practice race after that, and holy crap he's fast.

I was kinda sandbagging the C's category because it was just a bunch of kids and like 2 other riders that were decently fast. Won everything, but except for like 1 sprint, it was mostly a solo effort.
