Starting tomorrow, some of our pals embark on the inaugural SXSFixed fixed-gear ride from Dallas to Austin for SXSW. Check out their site for a complete list of rider bios, photos (Randall’s cracks me up!), route maps, and elevation profiles. Follow them here and here for live video, photos, and posts throughout their three-day adventure. As a chick, I have to give major props to Alicia for being the only girl rider in the bunch. You’re awesome! Best of luck to everyone—you’ve all worked so hard for this and it’s all about to pay off. Cheers, y’all.
