Did 300mi in a day back in May. Wanted to do it since the first time I rode to Montauk back in 2020 I think it was. Mighta been 2019 I don't remember. Anyway, Ben and Crihs beat me to it in 2021 and I decided I had to finally get around to it and did it the following year. 23.5hrs total time, including stops. Gonna do a couple more of these before attempting the next benchmark.

Somehow didn't take any selfies during the ride. Every second of the day was go time.

Tracklocross Ain't Wacklocross

On One Il Pompino with 27.5" tcx wheels I built with 2 front deore xt iso disc hubs. To one hub, I added a longer axle and two 10mm spacers to make it 120mm. Not my innovation - been done by others before, but still not very common. I find threaded cogs to be kind of a pain to uninstall. All you need to remove this cog is a T25 which I always carry in my mini ratchet allen key set anyway. Or you could use M5 allen/socket head bolts. I used disc brake rotor bolts

45t Brass chainring and 19t bolt-on cog both from @badgerdyne

Got a fun ride in with Alex a couple weeks back while he was back in nyc for a bit before he and Angie left the next morning 😢😢

I spoke with @paremongputi about winning Monster Track 2024, the day to day of being a bike messenger, and prioritizing self-care.

I met Dane on a freezing cold day at @kingkogbrooklyn and popped on over to a Variety Coffee where we did the interview. Got to ride Dane’s bike which he refers to as “the abomination,” due to a lengthy list of customizations. Great convo with Dane. Link in my bio. Subscribe to Substack.
