Texas Time Traveling

    Beautiful weather this weekend in Texas. Hope everyone is able to get out and ride! Here’s my Soma Double Cross that some members here helped me convert to 1X. This bike has taken on many different forms over the years. Really enjoy this latest iteration. Rapha handlebar bag is new and seems to be the perfect size. Also recently picked up the Outter Shell seat bag, which i love as well. 42cm Teravail Washburn tires, might be able to go a bit larger in the front.
cheers!

When you say Texas Time Traveling, I travel back to time to my first real gravel bike (complete with 2.125" white wall tires with tread oddly similar to the latest Rene Herse gravel tires).   It did double duty as my "work" bike.  ;-)

Now that is a pile of newspapers!  I loved delivering papers-except on Sundays. There was something so satisfying about about winging a paper from a moving bike and nailing the front door from the street.

Well, when I was a few years older than this, I was delivering literally a ton of papers on sundays (I grew to hate sundays).

But riding a bike every day from the age of 11 to 18 made me a pretty strong biker - even today!!!
