I also have a crazy objective to do some 50+ 50-75 mile gravel races this year. I don't know why, other than to just try. And possibly a masters TT or two.

And I am trying to swing a trip out west to climb Mt Lemmon, Onion Valley and the like, and the French alps the following year. At a 190#'s some extra top end and power buffer zone would be nice.

Big goals I know!! I get a bit obsessive from time to time.

I will read the info from Alan Couzens as well.

Thanks for all of the info - I am trying to absorb it all and meter my overzealous ways.
