Indeed. Last weekend at PIR, I suffered on the mostly flat course with long straight stretches. Anywhere there was a short, steep climb I found I was able to stand up and pass several women along the way. An amazing experience, and one that pretty much cements my decision to race strictly singlespeed for the duration. beth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
