Modesto Ripon Riverbank and back, 36 miles

Jerad Hill — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:57:41 +0000

I spent a lot of time on a bike today. This morning I got to the gym for a 5am spin class. I rode 12 miles there. Then I worked until 3pm, rode six miles to meet up with some friends and then rode 30 miles. For some reason RunKeeper did not record from my house to my buddy’s house on the same trip. Runkeeper was a little inconsistent this ride.

Ordered a new fixie

I did it, finally after months of fretting over what to get, where to get it from and how much to spend. Deciding to order a fixed gear bike also saved me a bunch of money. I’m sure in the future, probably near, I will purchase a road bike. The Central Valley is pretty flat and a fixed gear bike will do just fine. A friend of mine has a fixed gear bike and rides it everywhere, part of my inspiration for wanting a fixie is because I totally dig his bike.

So I ordered a 2009 Motobecane Messenger from BikesDirect.Com. Anybody have any experience ordering from them? I ordered the bike in Orange, because I didn’t like the red and am not really into black frames. I used to bike a lot when I was younger. Whenever I had a black frame, I would crash a lot.

Here are two images from their website:

Can’t wait for it to get here.

I want one of these so bad. It’s like a scooter/bike on a snowboard.
