I'm running a 53x18....use to run 53x16. Did 53x18 on the ride for the roses - no sweat.

Austin CM is OK. If school's in - there are about 20-30 people. If school's out, I've been 1 out of 4 people there. The upcomming halloween one should be great.
The guys from Bicycle Sport Shop try to put on an alleycat every month. They are pretty damn fun. Next one is the Thursday the 28th. I'll post a flyer and/or details when I know more.
