West Des Moines to Redfield Ride
After work I jumped on the fixed gear and headed west. I wanted to get out to Redfield and back. It came to 44 miles and it was a great ride on a great summer day. I did the ride in about 3 hours. I took time for photos along the way and a stop in Adel for a Milky Way and Gatorade on my way back.
Here is a quick photo slide show with a few photos along the way.

Blogging geek Dad that loves to do long runs, ride his bikes, partake in frosty beverages, listen to live music, watch movies, hike high into the mountains, and hang out with his family doing any of the above. Oh, and write code late into the wee hours of the morning.
The more I see it, the more I love your bike, brother!
It is just awesome! You would think that the no breaks would be a real issue. I have to say that breaks are way over rated. It is not like you can’t stop. You just come out of the saddle and put some body weight pressure on the pedals. The crank keeps going but you slow down fast enough.
The big pluses are less mechanical and super light. I love and it has change the way I ride. Plus riding a lot more now.
