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)

Phew. I'm not ready yet. Somebody needs to buy my Leader so I can buy a trainer and make up for my lack of a winter beater.

I'm so stoked that I'm not even going to see snow this year, let alone have to deal with it.

The skiing/snowboarding in Big Bear is better than anything in the Berkshires anyway so even if you are into that you are in better shape.

Skiing and snowboarding has never interested me at all. I'd much rather ride a bike.

So much the better. I won't even bring up surfing.

Received a $50 dollar coupon from Ebay. That's never happened before. I'll use it to buy a baselayer shirt. It's getting chilly in PHX.

Today I decided I should spend all the money I have and get a SS 29er for the trails 'round these parts. If anyone in the Philadelphia area has one they'd like to give away for like 6 dollars, we should talk.

Another rider right hooked it seems, the intersection is pretty silly during rush hour times. I actually got hit going the other way about a year back at the same intersection.

Yesterday I drove 485 miles from Toronto to NJ. Today I enjoyed some wine with friends and a brisk evening ride home.

Felt good to get back on the bike after being off it for over a week.
