Mt. Washington Hill Climb ...

Wanted to share my ride report for the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B59...it?usp=sharing

On August 16, I became the first person to cycle up Mt. Washington with double knee replacements ... and I'm stoked about it!!

New knees or not, that's pretty impressive!
What bike and gearing did you use?

I ride a 2010 Lynskey R230 customized ... it has straight bars/bar ends with Deore XT brakes and shifters, Ultegra (52- 39 - 30) triple, with SRAM Force (11 -32) cassette and Deore XT derailleur.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=402248 photo by Leo Kenney.

Congratulations on completing that tough climb, Mt. Washington is a hard, tough go with everything healthy. Making it with 2 TKR is really something to be proud about! Well Done Sir, Well Done.
