Did you read the part where he wonders how the 'steep hill on the northern end of Central Park' compares to the climbs they do in the Tour de France? That's the hill we do @ 20mph in the races on Sundays. The one that Hinault referred to as 'what hill?' when asked about it in the USA 20 years ago (I think he was doing it in the Tour DuPont or something).
Yeah, I when I read that part in the piece, I thought this guy is in for a world of trouble.

That said, I support the effort he's doing and the documenting it all for the world to read.
