A Goal...maybe

As I was riding to work the other day, just loving the way the Fun Machine rolled it occurred to me it has been quite sometime since I rode a geared bike of any kind.  Had I rode one this year?

(I might have on January 10th, although I have it marked as the Fun Machine)

So,  can I go for the rest of 2013 without riding a multispeed bicycle?

I had given some thought to riding gears for some of the early season flatter races just to see if it would make a difference for me.  Do I shelf this idea?

Take a different path?

Might put me off the back on group road rides, but maybe that is a good excuse to be otb and just enjoy the ride?

I'll do it with you if you do. I'll put away all multi-geared bikes, except for the tandem. I've got to ride with the kiddies on that.

You know that will not last long. It never does for any of us. Crap, I have been on multiple gears exclusively for six months, the next race is at least two months out, and I am already thinking about ditching the geared bike.

It is unavoidable.
