Thanks for the elevation profile, looks a lot like the rollers that
I'm use to at home, so I think I'll go with the QB. The only difficult
climb will be the one at the 33 mile point, which I think is after the
lunch stop.
Lunch is at 36.4, so it's before lunch.
I saw a very funny thing on that climb once, a few years ago. I'm
grinding up at my typical sub-10 mph pace and this young woman comes
blasting by me out of the saddle snarling something at me as she goes
by; gets about 5 or 10 yards ahead of me and suddenly cuts hard right
into a driveway just before the crest, wobbles to a stop, gets off -
practically falls off - the bike and flops down on the ground totally
exhausted and completely out of breath.
I'll use the low gear on that one. The climb before it is drawn out,
shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
The current forecast has a 90% chance of thunderstorms "in the
evening". Of course, that doesn't mean we won't see any earlier in the
day. In any event, I'm bringing a bike with fenders. You really don't
want to be riding an open-wheeled bike in the rain on rural roads in the
Amish country...
