struggling to get an article together

the march issue of spokes magazine is in bike shops and gyms all over the mid-atlantic
I wrote an article about the race at Greenbriar that is scheduled for April
tied the UCI thing in with the Off Road to Athens story

got next month's issue into the editor
in at the wire
struggled to write an article about single speeds

took a few stabs at it
tried to avoid defining it
tried to avoid defending it
tried to avoid debating whether it is fad or fashion
took it a different direction

got all sorts of input and ideas from various places

single speed outlaw

buddy
two great archives from mark elsasser

images at MLK images


some of the comments were from so many faces from the races
bet those guys are riding when I am blogging
guess that is why they are the cross kinds and I ride the sweep vehicle
