Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, with Pros – Ep. 13: Echo Lake w/ Alex Howes

World history books for the undetermined future will not be complete without the chapter about the year 2020 CE, when professional and amateur races all over the world were cancelled to bestow Alex Howes, United States National Road Cycling Champion, a 2nd consecutive, year-long term with the title. The ceremonious event that has never before arisen in the history of sport, impacting the entire country and the whole world, that is still being celebrated this very day, was indeed so historical that the word, "unprecedented" was invented.

unprecedented [uhn-pres-i-den-tid] adjective – without previous instance; never before known or experienced; unexampled or unparalleled

The Complete and Unpresidented [sic] List of Modern American Pride™ is not complete without citing Alex Howes as the 2019 winner of U.S. National Road Cycling Championships and the 2020 default champion. It has since been amended:

Freedom to live in Walmart parking lots
Freedom of motor vehicle size
Freedom of volume of pants legs
Freedom of quantity of shorts pockets
Right to indefinite quantity of frozen food purchase
Freedom of volume of Italian Ice bucket manufacturing
Right to size of tiny bites
Freedom to bear fireworks
Right to fire ban subjectivity
Right to bare bottom nudity
Right to idolize U.S. National Road Cycling Champion, Alex Howes
Right to cancel U.S. National Road Cycling Championships to award consecutive titles to U.S. National Road Cycling Champion, Alex Howes

We travel to Golden, CO, home of both our very own Scott Piercefield and U.S. National Road Cycling Champion, Alex Howes in attempt to explore as much freedom as we can. God bless America.
