Isn't it funny how when you speak to someone about needing lower gearing for the eastern Apps vs the Rockies out west, they give you a look like "this guy's an idiot",.....until they've done it. I swear some of those climbs out east go straight up, there's almost never a long sloping grade like out west where you can find a rhythm.

btw, Cycco that was some funny stuff, "kick your butt and take your lunch money"
