It almost cannot get any weirder than riding with Bud, Chris Talotta (Hammy), Crazy Steve Cihylik and Chris Van Dine. Too much diversity, too much energy, and way too windy yesterday. Great loop around Ttown, Kutztown and Virginville. And you know what? Nothing weird happened (well, anything that could be discussed here). However, after lending my road bike to Van Dine, I was left to ride my fixed gear. THAT was a treat for me, and I seriously hope some of you try riding one! I used to spend a ton of time on mine, and over the years, I've seen Bud ascend to higher and higher levels of riding from being a fixed gear devotee. So, next time we ride, you just might see Bud and myself on fixies.
Oh yeah, on the way home, I tried to set up a ride with Joey Transue, but he was just coming back from getting his six year old son a mini MTB. I kept thinking of how funny it would be for Joe to have a 14 foot tall Bud next to a 4 foot tall Garrett! (look up the "Joey's 14' Tall Bud story for reference) I wonder if Joey would throw his son under the bus like that?
