Early Morning Fixie Fix

I send out a call late yesterday for a couple of hours of early fixie fun for this morning. Given the late notice I showed up expecting to ride alone. I was pleasantly surprised.

Alex was the first to show on his IRO, and shortly after that Cory appeared on his Le Tour. Both had to navigate the treacherous black ice on the Ada Hayden trail, but both were successful in doing so. Given the conditions, we elected to hit the county roads to Boone, hoping to avoid both ice and traffic.

We were successful in avoiding the ice, but were less than successful in avoiding Bubba in his pickup. I'll let Cory tell the all the gory details. Suffice it to say that I wish I would have had the presence of mind to take pictures. That is what separates goodness from greatness.

After the "incident", we had a great ride. The pace was good, the conditions were good, and the company was great. All rides should be like this. The Iowa legislature should pass a law making all rides like this one. That would be better than some of the laws they have been debating.

It was a good ride. We all lived, and some people got an education. It was a good day.
