Team Shiftless Single Speed Team...


I was talking to one of the shiftless riders. She asked me, "so your not racing single speed" to which I replied, "nah, just mountain bike, I hurt my back racing racing single speed cross last year, you guys are tough. The big gear just tore me up. I'm running a 1x8 with SPOT BRAND chain gaurds." to which she responded respectfully, "hmmm, that's nice." in my head I said to myself, "great she thinks your a pussy, you geared bastard..." She smiled nicely and went over to the transition area to take her next lap. She was really very nice.

The officials yelled at us, " I hope you weren't gonna warm up on the course!!!" which normally I wouldn't consider, but since there were only 5 B racers and they had all just lapped we didn't think it would be that big of an issue. Look I love officials, and do my best to thank them all the time, but today, at this super grass roots race, with only 5 B riders, you'd think they might chill on the warm up rule. Never let a chance to yell at someone pass I guess. Again, all in all, thank you officials for a great day.
