Nice. You guys definitely had way better weather that day.

I can't believe we rode that thing in the dark with no lights or moon.

I dunno which was scarier, in the dark where we couldn't see the
exposure, or in the light where we could?

How was the Safety Ride?

I got stuck at work til 9:30 and bailed on it.

I did get in 2 killer fixed gear rides this weekend, even took the new
fatty 1 1/4" tires off-road, barely managed a skip stop on some slippery
DG, I really don't know how those guys do it on good pavement, you
really have to unweight the rear tire.

Riding, good. Skip stop, bad.

NV/UT was killer.

On dirt: skip stop = skid, right? ;-)

On pavement: when the skip stop is needed, the skip stop comes on its
own. And it is good.

Yep, but believe me the place I practiced is hard as cement with a
dusting of fine DG on top.

I just ain't getting it. So I'll definitely be leaving the brakes on
the bike.

I don't want it. I'll just ride over anything that gets in my way.

I run a brake too. But I find that when I do a real panic stop. the
skip-stop sorta happens on its own. I'm still trying to learn to do
one intentionally ;-).
