Maybe it's because I'm thin and light, and maybe heavier people see fewer differences between bikes.
Its the bike, of course.
Lemond Ti for the win. I did the full ride from home yesterday. The wind in the afternoon on the way back was a PITA. Just had to be realistic and gear down a bit. ...And take the "I get there when I get there" attitude...

Interesting. Wonder if its mostly walkers or runners? I actually didn't know what a "cairn" was before I looked it up. So that's what they call rock piles...
