FWIW, the markers are a lot easier to see this year than last. Anyone interested might be able to make a solo attempt after the fact.
I rode it this weekend too (on my geared bike). I made it up Brynwood St - which is 27% grade - on my lowest gear without bailing (35 gear inches) I am inclined to ride the De Ronde ride on my fixed gear which is gear currently at 65 gear inches. (39x16T).
Death, here I come.
