Nice trooping there guys!

Almost forgot... I saw these, amongst some other pretty nuts looking bike/stuff:



Crazy looking things, Roval hubs of some sort - the guy who had the bike was a cool dude, we had a brief chat at one of the rest stops. I also saw a fully suspended mountain bike with tri-spokes on both front and back - had to wonder what he used the bike for.

I found exceeding 150rpm for more than a few seconds is really quite uncomfortable and a tad scary when not pushing... I unclipped and rested a few times on the downhills heh - one of them made me realise how easy it would be to blow out a knee.

Did anyone take photos? MattR?

Was good to meet ya there, Gurgus & gutbucket!
