...helpful comments and suggestions.

(gundom66, you can come and pick up the bike...I've even just recently installed Look Keo Blade Carbon pedals-with the Ti axles. You can then tell me how they pedals ride. )

I know I have to rest...a little bit.

But if Fiorenzo Magni could ride in the Giro with a broken clavicle then maybe I can do the same, even if I have to climb like Fiorenzo did -using my teeth and an old dinner tube tied to my handlebars.
