Perhaps the reason I was so stoked after Thursday's ride was because I managed to clear a rather strenuous loop on my singlespeed - a bike I haven't had out in ages. I really didn't go into the ride with the intention of being able to clear all the climbs but the pistons were feeling good and my determination would always kick in about 1/2 way up every climb of the ride. I was amazed at what I was able to pull off and I just might have to break out this bad boy more often! There's just something about a fully rigid bike with only one gear. You really feel 'connected' to the trail, which, um, occasionally isn't such a good thing.
