It was awesome! Great experience for me.

Wow this was crazy yesterday. I got some photos and I’ll post them here later. I don’t want to move today. I got a massage yesterday after eating dinner, I wanted to go to sleep immediately afterwards.

Thanks Larry and Jacob for organizing this, it was incredible to witness and participate.

Nice! I got some photos, but I’m publishing a post on the blog about the race which will include them. I’ll add a link here as soon as the post is published.

Looks good, I look forward to checking out the details from Charlie’s blog post. Fixed gear’s are very popular here in Hangzhou, I’m sure at Natooke you’re aware of the shop called “Sunday” here? I picked up a fixed gear from them a while ago and then promptly fucked up my shins by awakening a dormant shin injury that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere by trying, I was on the way home from the shop and trying to skid (facepalm).

They are being sold out of every half decent looking bike store around here now and are as common as muck. Saw a guy with a nice classic and shiny green one yesterday that he bought off the internet, I think that’s pretty popular as well.
