Last year I rode my fuji track on hwy 58 at emerald isle, n.c., an arrow straight, ~23 mile long, dead level road. When I first got on, I was clipping along, marveling at my str0ngmo sw0leness, I was flying. Upon turning around for the return leg, I found out quickly that I had ridden too far and crawled back to the cottage...I almost wished for *gasp*... gears.
