It’s my favorite day of riding during the week and I appreciate everyone that I ride with a lot. Bike friends are the best, laughing and suffering on one gear bicycles is awesome. Grateful.
Finally got some fresh wheels on the Rootdown. I9 hydra ii laced to aluminum triads. I’ve wanted i9 wheels since I was a kid and finally got some. Big thanks to hitchhiker bikes in stowe vt for stocking them and also lots of other dialed bicycle goods. I’m stoked and my bike is rippin.
Every week a crew of us gets together for single speed Sunday. It’s usually 3 to 6 of us and we try to ride a different network each week. It’s part suffer fest, part trail side chatter, and a good end to the week. Grateful for the traveling circus of one speeding and for good folks.

My Rootdown is down right now as I lost a tooth and bent my chainring last Saturday. So, it’s been monkey time. After yesterday’s trail work we got to ride a couple trails on the way back to our vehicles. Definitely some of the roughest stuff I’ve ridden on a rigid. The monkey prevailed and the xr4 took some sting off my wrists. Proving the capabilities of a rigid bike to myself all the time.
Yesterday, a Monday, the first day of the week, my buddy and I built this new roller at one of the local trail systems. Lots of cutting roots and satisfying moss peeling. I got first tracks on it, which these days means something different than when I was preteen/teenage sender on a dh bike. 35 year old dad weighed the odds on this one and they were more in his favor than they could be on a bigger drop or double.
I hope everyone rolled in to the week on properly inflated tires without broken parts. Peace and wheelies!
Riding my karate faster than other bikes on a bunch of sections at the local trail network and having a ball doing it. Rigid single speeds are magic, that is all. Peace and wheelies.
