RR: Fixed gears on a gravel road

Medina is famous for its sandstone: this is
where
the stone for the Brooklyn Bridge came from.

How 'bout dat!

The sucky thing is the thick clouds of midges. They don't bite, but
there are so damn many of the things that you end up paved in them:

Hmm... anybody else here sense that this was posted as a preemtive
excuse for some leg shaving?

My wife had her jersey zipped up the whole time, but still ended up
with clouds of bugs down her cleavage. "Wanna see?" she says. I
decline, explaining that I prefer to visualize her chest _not_
infested by insects. Call me funny.

Us too!

Well, it certainly provided an incentive to trim the old nose hair. Is
that good enough?
Us too!

Whoah there, mister. Don't make me hurt you.

It's been raining all week, so the singletrack is going to be soup. No
good. So instead we do something different. My wife and I strap the
fixies onto the shiny new bike rack. Carefully. We double-check.

I've got an old mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
And every inch of the way we know
From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on
The Erie Canal

We'd better get along on our way, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Git up there mule, here comes a lock
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock
One more trip and back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on
The Erie Canal

I know that tune, except it doesn't mention anything about GRS.

I went back this morning and did a full Lockport to Rochester run. 60
miles. A distance record for me on the fix, or on any singlespeed for
that matter.

****, it was pretty easy too. Some weire transformation is clearly
happening.

Yes, your seat numbness has obviously spread from your nuts to your knees.

Congrats!
