Yes, Ellicott City is hilly. Some times I feel bogged down on the hills around here. I am not a strong rider, that is why IH100 felt hilly to me. But I had a great time and seemed to get over the hills easily enough. I never felt bogged down, like riding at home. Nicely rolling in Indian Head!
I am new to century riding. So maybe it is the distance and not so much the hills that tires me out. I am sure that the skinnytubed/thinwall thing makes a difference, but not sure if I could tell. Not sure everyone could tell. I was mainly pointing out that some people don't seem to notice. But maybe they haven;t ridden anything else for comparison. Some people can tell. Some think about such things, some don't.\ I don't feel that big a diff between my 650b 42, 38, and 32mm supple GB?Compass tires, so I may not have a sensitive palette for tires. Even my Ram on 700c x 32's feels just as cushy as hetres on 650b to me. It is at the 28mm level that I can start to feel a diff. So I know I am not so sensitive to the tire widths. But I look forward to riding a skinny bike someday. I often have thought about a Boulder skinny All-Road. But congrats to Rene for the amazing custom bike! His changing setups are very interesting to read about! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
