The distinctive cycling discipline of fixed gear cycling is usually associated with commuting, late night urban riding or short, sharp criteriums such as HolyCrit, which made a triumphant return earlier this month after two years of bad headlines and legal woes.
 
One thing fixed gear cycling is not commonly associated with is touring, but we recently met one man and his fixed gear bike doing exactly that. His name is Luis de Sousa and Flat Spoke Media made his acquaintance  while covering HolyCrit IX.

A native of Barcelona, de Sousa visited Singapore for the night-time race in Kallang as a side trip to a six-week tour of Thailand and Malaysia, which in itself is just a warm-up for a 10-week journey to India next month. Dressed to kill in a colourful ensemble, sporting a thick, well-groomed beard and riding a nifty 8Bar bike, he was the epitome of hipster fixie cool. Click on this link to read the full feature.

​The MacRitchie Runners 25 are defined by their bi-monthly 5km time trial, but the people who run the famous club like to end the year with a bang by staging a race a little bit longer … an ultramarathon.
 
The 2016 Hoka MR25 Ultramarathon kicked off at 7am shortly after dawn yesterday and didn’t end until the sun was saying goodbye for the day at 7pm. While most ultramarathons – defined as any foot races over the 42.2km of a marathon – have a set distance, the MR25 Ultra tasks its competitors with completing as many laps of the famous MacRitchie Reservoir Park trail in 12 hours.
