Epiphany

Been a long time again, many reasons other than just sloth.

Been travelin' some, workin' some and even ridin'/runnin' a bit. But the progress on the Mi 1000 has become a real issue! Few weeks back I was doing nearly 70 miles/week on the old fixie, this past two weeks only 30 miles in total! Weather played a part but no real excuses.

Been running maybe twice! Once round the local burg, on roads/trails around Okemos and one in San Diego (a nice early morning jaunt round Coronado).

Only real thing of note in past couple of weeks is the epiphany of why we (in the old country) drive on the left hand side of the road! It's not just down to obstinate wrongheadedness (or not totally anyway), but down to the need for motorists to recognize the righteousness of the fixed wheel cyclist! Over here, riding on the right - your drivechain is tucked against the roadside where no bugger can see it! Motorists charge by without any appreciation of your wholesale awesomeness. BUT!!! Back from where I came from the drivechain is loud and proud out in the open! Into the road so all motorists have no choice but to be aware (and bow down) of the puritanical struggle of the fixie cyclist!

Hey this might be a pile of horse do, but whatever.

Till next time - be careful out there.
