I learned this a long time ago. Hills, and inclines go unappreciated and unnoticed in a car, but by bike you feel them, you get to know them. You grow to appreciate the apex of a climb and the imminent downhill.
Riding fixed gear has only enhanced my appreciation for the road. On a fixed gear bike you ride every mile, every hill climb and and every descent.
Today I headed out on my bike to GMR. My goal was to go farther than I did the last time. So this means I needed to do more than Fork Plus 2. When I left the house it was cold and it never did warm up. I left later than usual so there were quite a few riders heading up with me. I managed to drag my butt to Fork Plus 3.97 and them some. I am getting closer to my goal, Mt Baldy Fixed.
Kevin rides Sundays so the whole time I was looking for him. We never did cross paths but he rode to the First Saddle Plus 1.5.
