Wouldn't be my choice for a double-century, but I know Bike Fridays have done it!
Oh, and Happytime's ride started in Malibu and was in the Santa Monica Mountains, not in Santa Monica (the city). Just FYI. It was a fun ride!

I have the same problem with my Kent--horribly under-geared. I like it going up the hills of Westwood, but going down I don't even bother pedaling. If I switch to a 52t chainring, I think that'll solve everything, but I'm too poor and lazy to do that right now.
So, back to dates for the charity folder ride...I'm thinking Saturday, March 8 for it, or if that date isn't good for you guys, one Saturday in April. Last few weeks of March is a no no since I'll be in China. Is that enough time for us to round up as many folder-riders as possible?
