I see doubles more of an inconvenience. As you can see, Ive been training on the climbs while riding GMR with one hand!
No worries
Beanz,
I think you probably do have the ability. And maybe you've changed your mind, but you used to want to ride doubles; used to want that CA Triple Crown jersey. And while riding in the dark may be an inconvient truth, it's really kind of fun, in a different kind of way.
If you want more of a challenge, pick the doubles with a lot of climbing! They are quite an adventure, much more so than a century. And that's another part of the fun too.
Just try it
Beanz; I think you'll like it a lot more than you seem to think now.
