I just won't let it break me: one is enough

After a ride in Lynn on the resurrected IF, a little time to let my knee recover, and some quiet contemplation, I've decided that singlespeed is still the way for me. The IF will get rebuilt; I love that bike, after all, but it deserves a proper build to let it shine in the places it was designed to be ridden. For most of the riding I like to do, though, the rigid, singlespeed SOMA is the right bike.

I've geared it down, slightly, and we'll see how that works out over the coming months.

So, I'm going through some photos from the last year's travels, and I come across this:

Yep. While I was in Fruita, Colorado, I saw this enormous, steel sculpture, immortalizing Mike the Headless Chicken.

I don't even know where to go from there.

Looks like I was able to keep things separate on my server for the transition, so my older blog posts are still available on blog.todddowns.com.

Ultimately, I'd like to migrate everything over to one program, but this saves me a lot of frustration in the interim.

rebuilding

Hey, all. One quick note.

I've been getting an obscene number of spam-comments from some sort of spamtastic spambot in the last couple of weeks (anywhere between 15 and 25 per day). I think this is due to the lack of a security measure with my old blog editor, so I've switched to blogger, but keeping things hosted on my own server. I'll be migrating posts from the old editor into the new as time allows.
