I'd imagine the 52:19 helped that a lot. I just got a set of new Small Block 8s from somebody, I think they're going on the bike tonight in preparation.

I rode the monkey fixed at 30:18 yesterday. I hate small-gear fixed riding. Still can't spin fast worth a damn. It'll be a helluva weekend. If you've got fast tires mount 'em now.

So many things on this weekend! There's the NMES race (cochiti 100), the KMC, and Japhyrider is putting on a three-day shredfest in Tahoe. I think it'll be a good decision. Rich - I rode the old course last time I was in indiana, but I really should get out there for another ride. Then again, I've always played around with the idea of doing the HH on "something like this":http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1201. It's like the ultimate fixie.
