dude. forget the hat. my hat blew off at the race in baltimore last weekend. do you know how hard it is to find a brewers hat in philadelphia? just keep riding. ended up getting 9th. probably would have gotten lost if i had stopped and not finished or gotten a dfl. and i run 73 gear inches (50x18) all the time. if you can't keep up you have to learn how to spin faster. yeah. it's awesome.
