2011 Ride #2 (Fixing Holladay)

View Ascent activity on 29-Jan-11 at 02:00PM in a larger map

Didn’t motivate quickly enough this morning to head up to Solitude to ski today, so I went for a ride this afternoon instead. I should have skied. The inversion layer grabbed a hold of my lungs today and wouldn’t let go, but still put [...]

2011 Ride #1 (Back in the saddle)

View Ascent activity on 17-Jan-11 at 10:51AM in a larger map

With apologies to Gene Autry:

Back in the saddle again Spinning my legs like a fiend, Where the fixed-gear riders roll, On the goddamned chip seal roads. Oh, I’m back in the saddle again.

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh! Rockin’ to and fro, Back in the saddle again. [...]

Rode the fixed gear to Sugarhouse Park to watch the Pro/1/2 Sugarhouse Criterium race … suffered a bit on the ride over, but surprisingly not on the ride home after standing around for 3 hours in my Sidis. The false flat on 27th South [...]

2010 Ride #14

I’m skipping the details on posting ride #14, because it was basically just a couple short ones from Liberty Park to Pioneer Park and back on the fixed gear … with several hours hanging out at Pioneer Park shooting photos of the Utah State Criterium Championships. Pics later.

It’s been years now, but I’ll never forget that Christmas…

2009 Ride #49

A ride is a ride, right? Had to take the Trooper to the shop on Saturday to get the clutch replaced … but also had to get to Wheeler Farm for UTCX #5 … so, dropped off the Trooper, then rode the fixed-gear down [...]

When will messengers get one?
