The Brick

Went for a spin on the brick today. What's the brick you might ask? It's my 35lb, 6.5 inch travel beater rig I train on all winter.

It's got a rear wheel that doesn't spin unless I pedal, and unless I keep my cadence just right it makes noises so wretched people flag me down to try and help me. Hahahahah. It's not fast, but it will make you fast! Check out the sick custom Brick Crankskins though! Not having ridden it since April I forgot how hard it makes me work. Zero rest time. Even on the downhills it's got to be pedaled or it will drift to a stop. Stoked to be back on it, but really anxious to get my cross rig so I can start to work on my endurance and forget about power for a while.

Lol-a ride like that would be a joke on the Blue. On The Brick though-what a workout!
