Quartez with dad (Thunder Head) in tow on the third lap at the 6 hour Heel Of A Race in Chapel Hill. Dad got 4 laps and Quartez got 3, 9.1 miles per lap. Very cold and rough, tight single track. Single speed of course, TH did the first lap fixed but the log crossings almost proved fatal, so he had to switch to SS for the remainder of the race . We were not in the hunt for a win but we had fun and that's the main goal. Quote of the day, somebody asked Mrs.Thunder Head (mom) why ride single speed? Her response..."Separates the men from the boys..."

Hey guys, congrats on the race, it was a nasty weekend. Best response I've read so far to the question, "Why ride fixed?" was, "Some people like their coffee black." I grew up near Chapel Hill - where was the race?
