One of the club road Nazis does bike fits & has lots of happy customers. It's $275 for the first bike and $137.50 for the second. Worth it?

I have a "flat" course that has 1300 ft of elev gain and an 11% grade hill. It's all in the last 4 miles.
I also live on a hill, but it's no Mt. Doom.

So THAT'S why I can't shift in to the small chainring - the FD cage is broken! Damn. Oh well, no obvious signs of my neglect/incompetence, so it should be under warranty....

that is so strange. I did that with my 2 road bikes and they are identical. I even tried measuring but that's quite difficult to be precise. I swear the distances are identical but on one i get lower back pain after 3 hours and the other I can ride 7+ with no pain.

See, now I rode 48 miles this AM, 29 miles just now (double session today, haven't done that in a while) and I have so many endorphins running through my bike weenie brain that even if coasting, Gomer and banerjek formed a Fred Critical Mass resulting in a violent Fredtonation, it wouldn't phase me.

And seeing how the whole racing thing was Utter Fail for 2010, I have decided that 12K miles is doable. Stupid Road Nazis. I'll show them. I have a couple of races left in me yet anyway.
