Yeah..going to have to throw out the beginner card but I tend to watch overall speed and cadence and shift from there. I do look down quite a bit and I am very rarely down on the small gear or 16t.

I learn alot from these boards on a weekly basis. I learn a lot on the bike as well.


I learned alot from the dairyland dare this year. I learned what real hills look like which psychologically has improved my riding around here. I go into these hills with a different mindset now. My fitness being no different i have improved my ride times.
