The Attack on the Final Hill

This was the best race weekend I've ever done. The Superior Bike Fest in Marquette.
This is a clip from the Circuit Race. More for the benefit of the guy who is ataacking to show his friends. The race is held on the old K.I.Sawyer AFB. Just off to the right of this scene is the barracks where I lived in 1980.

This was posted for a friend. Not really interesting if you weren't there. And thanks, but I'll pass on the Fixed Gear stuff in favor of speed.

hmm do any pro road bikers use fixed gears? no the fastest way going up hill is using a lower gear. fixed gear could have a slight advantage uphill if you stand and pump like wild. but its less tension on your legs using a lower gear. and on straight aways with a large gear you can go faster. fixed gear is not for racing pro road bikers coast on downhills and tuck. a fixed gear you pedal constantly. a single speed i could maybe see but not a fixed gear

Are you sure? Is that what you know or is that what you think? Explain to me why I have to wait for everyone else at the top of the hill on group rides. You don't realize this but one reason why fixed is faster when climbing is because the momentum of the drive-train is pushing the bike up. But I know you won't go out and try this. And no, I am not a hipster.

ummm no. you can go up hills faster in a lower gear. also fixed gears are for hipsters and hipsters are faggots.

If you were on a fixed gear bike climbing that hill I guarantee you wouldn't be behind those other riders.  RIDE FIXED!!
