Sunday is Funday
This guy took a pretty good smackdown. But he didn’t have the added mass of a helmet or pads that would have increased the impact trauma. -M
Our man griss was running on one good lung and one full of phlegm, but rode a good race today. Good mounts/dissmounts as you can see in the video. It was an MF of a course. I’m glad I was spectating and not riding. Those dudes looked like they were suffering.

Outlaw #4
Yo,
OutlawCross #4 was super fun! I was so far out in front I decided to stop and take pictures. GBG took advantage and powered forward to victory despite my best efforts at de-motivation from the start finish. The Restless Ape was a little dismayed at the last two laps, but the dirt coating his two front teeth showed how he really felt.
Thank’s to the Truckee Crossophiles for setting this up. We’ll pay you back with an outlaw race down here.

Cross Pics
Wolfy kicked my ass today, did a show off bonus loop and his steed was a huge hit with the Truckee boys.
Licking my wounds and proping up my ego.

smithers!
Steve S. was down from the Lake last weekend to check out the local trails and see a bit of the town. Weather was perfect, trails were fun, and there was plenty a goin’ on around the hood. Rode tracks on Peavine Saturday, then span straight into the neighborhood Pub for a recovery drink and some za. Gud times!

fixed It
in anticipation of a great ski season, and therefore a heinous mud season on the singletrack commute, i ressurected an old road/touring frame and prep’d it as a fixed gear bike for commuting and town riding. i replaced only what was toasted and purchased as little as possible, digging into the bin-o-parts to scavenge for “upgrades.” the bike, from here on known as “Harlan,” cleaned up nice. i’ve put about a hunerd miles on it commuting and running social calls in the last week plus and the legs are comfortably numb. riding a fixed gear bike might just be one of the best dry land training approaches for tele season! that, and to make a leaner, meaner one speeder! a few pics of the process…
initial conditions
boneyard
the original seatpost was a bit short, and an odd size. no prob, just take a few 1/1000th off a spare mtn post from the box-o-parts
readers, meet “Harlan.”
happy trails,
J.r.

Hoping I can borrow McDee’s single-wheel fixed ‘cycle for some urban shredding like this guy:
