I am riding with friends who are training to climb Donner Pass in 5 weeks. We climbed 2300' over 38 miles in the Texas hill country today. I rode my bike with the 30-inch gear for this climb, and took off the Grip Kings off to ride with touring pedals and toe clips. I ride with different shoes using the two different pedals, so each has their place.
