I really want to climb Monitor Pass and Mt. Rose this weekend, so I'm going to attempt to get a smaller chainring for the D7 today. My top end gearing will suck, but at this point I think the climbing is more important than the descending, since I bought that bike to take in rental cars on climbing rides.

My recumbent still hasn't sold, so no Bike Friday for me yet.

I'm going to climb both of these mountains even if I can't get a smaller chainring, but if I can get one I'm going to take a more difficult route up Mt. Rose. Video and pictures of both rides will be posted, of course!
