I rode PBP using a 72-inch gear, although in retrospect I would have geared a little higher.
Riding from CA to Kansas in 2006, I rode the first week in 72 inches (over the Sierras, across the mountains of northern Nevada, and over the Wasatch). I started gearing up after that. By the time we started crossing the flat eastern half of Colorado, I was in the 80s somewhere. By comparison, having a 44-inch gear to get into on the climbs yesterday was sheer luxury. --Eric N Sent from my iPad2 On Jan 16, 2012, at 12:51 PM, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Eric did P-B-P on a Quickbeam and rode across the US, west to east, on a > fixed -- climbed the Rockies in -- what was it, Eric, an 80" gear? > > He's not natural. > > On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 1:42 PM, Anne Paulson <anne.paul...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 12:31 PM, Eric Norris <campyonly...@me.com> wrote: > > I rode Patrick's former Motobecane down the California coast from San > > Francisco to Monterey and back this past weekend.
