16.Aug.2010 Off the Road, On The Bike

The summer road trip for self has finished, time to put on the reading specs, crack the books, and keep a safe distance from dumb freshmen.  Regardless, that doesnt mean the 32xFU word will stop being spread, Fort Collins is the perfect place to spread the word, indoctrinate the youth, and corrupt the masses.  Rest assured the CSU Cycling team will either go along with the 32xFU mindset or be set on fire courtesy of my mind tricks.  First things first, is the One Speed Open in a shade under two weeks.  Time to start training, and by training I mean getting a proper set of wheels where the rims are not about to blow out.  Ugly One will be striking out for the Brec Epic in a few days time to do his battle with the trail and altitude.  Dejay may get some extra juju on his side if he follows through with his plans and gives Juda a bath, the world will reward him for this kind and necessary act.

25.Jul.2010 Spreading the Gospel

32xFU rocked the living daylights out of the Galena Grinder.  Before making a wrong turn and losing a bunch of time 40 Hands was turning the screws on a bunch of geared guys, and riding near/around the top 5 overall.  Dejay then picked up the slack and went on to win the SS class in a near record time.  More importantly we drank with the best of them at the awards ceremony.  The 32xFU stickers we have were used to pay for beers, a weedwacker was acquired, a beer hat was passed on, and the 32xFU mentality was spread to the masses.  Next on the agenda is more riding in Sun Valley before heading off to Bend.

19.Jul.2010 The Manifesto

The year was 2010 and the singlespeed world was at a crossroads.  Some folks on singlespeeds had become too concerned with their gear ratios, getting proper amounts of rest, and stopping after two beers.  Then a there were a few voices being heard ever so quitely:

32xfu rung what you brung

Still you had “racers” wondering if they would still be able to get their proper massages in New Zealand leading up to SSWC 2010.  The voices could be heard getting louder:

32xFU: Run What You Brung!

Finally the revolution continues again, getting back to the singlespeed days of old.  Why get a tattoo when you can get a brand from falling into a fire and landing on hot rocks after drinking too much tequilla?  Why go to bed early the night before a race when you can stay up with your friends, so when the sun rises, you can hoist an empty keg above your head and declare, “we built this city on rock and roll.”  The voices could now be heard drowning out all the other bullshit that had been spewed out over the years:

32xFU: RUN WHAT YOUR BRUNG!!!!

32xFU gained it’s first major victory earlier today at MTB National Championships, when the Godfather Dejay Birtch took 6th place in his short track race, on a singlespeed.  Sure Dejay could have borrowed a high end geared carbon bike to destroy his competition.  Instead, he chose to RUN WHAT HE BRUNG, and still laid waste to many a goons on gears.  So yes, join the revolutiuon, and remember to simply RUN WHAT YOUR BRUNG.
