I did read that post, but I guess I missed the part in it where you compared the times. Heck I still can't find it. Anyway, thanks for the time spent for your reply, it's a nice contribution to the thread.

Edit: BTW I was on the sidelines last year for the TDG, and good ole Fast Freddy got off right in front of me and stretched his legs. He, and several other riders were begging for a push. http://www.satillacycling.com/images...20(Custom).JPG

Here he is after stretching, weaving from side-to-side to make it easier to climb. http://www.satillacycling.com/images...20(Custom).JPG
