Took the Anvil Single Speed (ASS) for a quick outing along my “sort of” regular lunch loop. Dressed a little lighter than I did yesterday and was comfortable most of the ride. Some brutal headwinds made for some chilly moments. Chest is feeling that right now - raspy harsh cough… it’ll pass. Hoping I can get out tomorrow again for one last ride, but this one might be it… Felt good to roll fast on the ASS. Bike always feels great. The last hill up Lake Terrapin Dr. did suck though, wish I had had one more cog in the back. I did pace a gaggle of kids on e-bikes on the opposite side; I feel bad for them, they’ll likely never know the joys of a single speed lugged steel bike. Feeling good, like I’m ending the year on a positive note and gearing up for what I hope is a much different 2025. Good times…
