Then, when I fully committed to doing it on the geared bike I set myself up for failure. The geared bike was a crutch that I allowed to lull me into a sense of ease, and comfort, and peace.<br /><br />Shoulda just manned up and trained harder on the SS. Better to start and not finish on a SS than to start and not finish on a geared bike.<br /><br />Better still to not be a pussy and ride the whole thing on the single speed.<br /><br />Next year I won't let that course kick my ass. Next year I won't seek ease and comfort and peace.<br /><br />"Nobody who could write worth a damn could ever write in peace."<br />-Henry Chinansky (aka Leon Spinks!)<br /><br />"What, drawn, and talk of peace!
