I am impressed by this comment.
Any way, 53/39 x 11-23 for most races.
I did swap the cassette for Snake Alley and use a 12-25. I can't wait to return to Burlington next year for my second trip to Snake Alley

Speaking of Snake Alley (and a minor thread hijack) I wish it was a little closer to RAGBRAI so I wouldn't have to finagle two trips back home. Kinda hard to justify a 1000 mile drive for one race

I have 50/34, and will use 11-23 or 11-25 or 11-27 depending on the course. I always drive the course before the race so I know the terrain and route and hills!
