Another week passes, and my time in the area grows shorter and shorter. Technically, I have until I move to Baltimore (more on that at a later date) to do the century. It's going to take a LOT of work though...
Between work and going back home every other weekend and the ridiculously unpredictable weather, it has been difficult to ride at all. I just took a quick one today, and it reminded me of how wonderful riding a fixed gear bicycle can be. So I have a couple of neat videos that basically demonstrate that sentiment, with a pinch of history and a glance at the "fixie" sub-culture.
By the by, the last video, along with this article by Sheldon Brown, inspired me to start riding fixed. P.S., that's Lance Armstrong in the white shirt and Livestrong bracelet. Awesome.

As far as blog business is concerned, I think I will start posting only twice a week. I often miss Thursday updates, and I feel like I will start running out of worthwhile things to post doing three a week. So posts will henceforth be distributed on Wednesday and Sunday of every week.
I didn't weigh myself today. Don't plan to.
Shut up, I know.
I have been working out quite a bit though, so that is good. Unfortunately, a muscular frame (particularly upper body) is not ideal for cycling. It adds to your weight on a bike while not helping to move said weight.

| Andy Schleck, more commonly known as a twig. Very fast. |

| Thomas Jane, from The Punisher. Although the height of bad-assery, not as quick on a bike as Andy above. |
Anyways, I'll post on Wednesday about God-knows-what.
Best,
M.
