I need to work on getting stronger on the climbs. For some reason, during summer, I always feel crappy riding, but during Spring and Fall it's like I'm a whole new rider. Go figure!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the input.<BR/>ChrisStageWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762293416310270641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204261.post-1153098143970933122006-07-16T19:02:00.000-06:002006-07-16T19:02:00.000-06:00Yeaa Chris. I have ridden from 72a to the ski area...Yeaa Chris. I have ridden from 72a to the ski area(I guess that isn't the real top) and back on my 26 inch wheels with 36/18 when i first got here. Then I switched my gearing to fit in more with being in the mountains to 34/18.Tim Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16616793112715975581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204261.post-1153059913350463872006-07-16T08:25:00.000-06:002006-07-16T08:25:00.000-06:00Hey Ssweet,I rode Winsor for the first time Fri. b...Hey Ssweet,<BR/>I rode Winsor for the first time Fri. bottom to top and back.<BR/><BR/>After the first 5 miles climbing, I was wishing for 32:19 instead of the 32:17 I was running. Great climb and a lot more challenging than I thought it was going to be.<BR/><BR/>You ever run your 26-inch wheels on that? What gearing is best?<BR/>ChrisStageWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762293416310270641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204261.post-1152886862391021982006-07-14T08:21:00.000-06:002006-07-14T08:21:00.000-06:00looks like a good fourth...Death Angel's latest al...looks like a good fourth...Death Angel's latest album the Art of Dying...a damn good metal band from the eighties, when they knew what a guitar solo was...<BR/><BR/>shalom...hamadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323603350215691774noreply@blogger.com
