Now that fixed gear season is upon us, I've been wondering when others will get their fixies on. For our turkey day ride, I propsed a fixie friendly ride and made sure I explicitly told the other potential fixie riders that I was going fixed so I would have some company and not have to play Russian Roulette and if for no other reason it's a lot less bike to clean, give that it promised to be wet. Well Iain commented:
"That's the thing about russian roulette......it starts by not knowing if you will be the only one!"
How true that is. Turns out he got a flat on the way to the park and ride, so I was the only one... Uh oh, click, nothing, whew. However, it was a nice social ride so, the "Russian Roulette" fixed gear game got shelved and we had a nice sane 40+ miler, setting a very appropriate tone for the day.
Now the eating starts! Happy Thanksgiving.
If you're game I'll be out this Sat on the Fixie!
