| The Jamis Sputnik. A most worthy mount for a flat 100 miles | |
Every fall for the past five years I've done this classic century ride. A south jersey tour of flatland's and Pine Barrens. It's the perfect time to break out the fixed gear. The temperature range was pleasant with sunny skies. A bit windy on the return back north for last half, but no complaints. Me and the Jamis Sputnik negotiated the course in a total time of 6hrs 40min. I rode alone for almost the entire 100 miles with exception to a brief conversation with Bruce from eastern Long Island, shortly after the Browns Mills rest stop. And, the last 10 miles when one weary rider, on a full carbon Cervello, held my rear wheel to the finish. He was too tired to converse so I never got his name. Of the five times I've done this ride, three were on fixies. A tradition in the making.
