My 16-teeth wheel caught some of the infernal glass-shards on Davidson & my Bike Store on Shelby was closed* so I simple did what all Fixie riders do: I switched to another wheel.
My Sprinting wheel has 14 teeth & has always been a joy to ride. Over the course of a regular season I tend to alternate the wheels either for specific Sprinting Days or for specific Climbing Days. At some point though I simply try to ride every terrain in the Sprinting Gear just to prove I can.
Today turned out to be windy, but it was still quite enjoyable a ride.
Has I left an hour earlier I would have completed the 46 miles I had intended; legs felt great even up the hills.
I tried to take an old route home but there was a halted freight-train on the tracks at Rosebank so I took the old Rain Detour home.
There is some kind of Pre-loading going on in Titan’s Stadium so often the loop there was literally Hit Or Miss:
Once you’ve completed a few laps the constant truck-tenders recognize you & ease you through the knots.
*Don’t get me started on how much I miss fixing my own punctures. My hands can no longer break-down the wheel to component parts
