I can see why! OTH, I hope that same hill makes for a nice cool-down on the way home. My own ride is more uphill in the morning, downhill at night...and I'm glad about that at the end of a 12+ hour...

They're not real skinny. They're 700 x 38mm and I run them at 60psi. I'd love to go narrower, but have to research again what my rims allow.

I am going to be riding a lot more this spring than...

I'd keep this one original. For sure. If not, it would lose its Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

How I envied those V-R-R-R-ooom motors when I was a kid.

True. Where I work, we have employee forums every quarter. I brought my desire for a bike rack up to our CEO and, lo and behold, we now have a rack near the front of the building, right by the...

Nah. Still here.

I liked the advice given by Bradtx the best....perhaps considering rides more in the 30 mile range rather than the longest rides of a given event. To me, that seems like a...

I like being part of the event, earning the T-shirt, the same as when I take part in a 5K or 10K run. Signing up gives me an incentive to ride my bike more leading up to the event. If you're...

Sigh.....you seemed to start off with a reasonable question (What cutoff is reasonable?) and then you end up with assuming I expect to be accomodated. I said it was a dilemma...not an outrage. Jeez.

You're probably largely right. I tend to be a back of the packer in 5K's and 10K's as a jogger, too. I guarantee that a better bike would shave some time off of a 100K or century for me, but the...

Street tires, 700x38 @ 60 lb or so. It's a fairly standard 21 speed setup. I like the bike, still, and haven't found anything in the lower end hybrid market that would justify replacing it.
