And on that note, I'm not quite Donut material just yet. You guys have fun
It's not that bad, except for the long decents like the one down to Don Mills. I've done the 75 twice fixed and last year on a geared bike. This year is the 25km for me as it will be a family event with the little one in the trailer.
