Fixed for a Day

After a beautiful Saturday, I refused to accept the fact that yesterday's high was only going to be 42 degrees with NW winds at 20-25 mph, so the ride started in good spirits. A loosely assembled version of the fantastic four rolled westward with a nice tailwind pushing. Near the Bicentennial Mall I suddenly realized that I was the only one not riding a fixed-gear. Through the magic of a flip-flop hub, we pulled over and presto: everyone was now riding fixed-gear. Destination: Mafiaoza's.


Fred led the way, trying his best to find the weaknesses in the all fixie crowd: lots of quick turns, rapid descents and sudden stops made for a challenging ride. Matt had built up an awesome vintage Austrian made Clubman for the ride. Very nice and unique.


An important equation to remember for Mafiaoza's:
Dos Perros + The Last Request + Fresh Jalapenos = Immediate Indigestion

A special thanks goes to Ron for agreeing to share a Last Request with extra jalapenos. Can I get extra Tums with that, please? Pretty please?????


The "all downhill" ride home was a killer with a strong freezing cold headwind.

Hurry up spring !!!!!!!!!!! Please !!!!!
