I am trying it again. La Vuelta PR on a single speed bike. I have seen some rumblings of the fixed gear community looking like they will attempt it single or fix as well. I hope so, i believe many of them are more athletic and stronger than i am and would put up a good fight.
I am going into La Vuelta after a roller coaster training year. During and after Gran Fondo NY i was on top of the world. I got over bear mountain without having to get off my bike and i almost made it over Buckberg only falling off my bike right near the top. I was confident i would be able to hit La Vuelta hard this year and make it over a few other climbs including, possibly, Camino Nuevo.
However as the year went on injuries creeped in. Some significant some painful but annoying. I have scaled back my expectations and hope to have an epic fight with the elevation in PR but mainly to just have some fun. I am looking forward to seeing many people who i rode with last year.
Adelante!
