Comments: Two words: weather window. That's what today was. Previously in Seattle it was majorly cold and tomorrow it's supposed to start raining. But not today; today was gorgeous.

For no good reason I decided to "ride big gears seated on hills to get strong" today... It was probably because Tom W showed up on his fixed gear which sports a 46x16, that's 78 gear inches to you and me. HUGE in other words.

ASIDE - I usually (read: always) ride a 42x18 which is 63 gear inches.

Not only was he riding it, we did some good hills today and he sat down for most of them. So, trying to be like Tom I stuck it in my 50x21 (71 gear inches) and tried to do likewise. It worked most of the time but not all the time.

Fun and tiring.

Oh, did I mention that doing mostly nothing over the Thanksgiving holiday does not help? Mark my words.
