I took this ride today. on my Pista SS 52 x 18. I don't think I will ever try this again.
I was curious if I could climb. 2000' feet but I just didn't have it.
I couldn't even get to 1500'. I think in a year or two my days of SS are over,
The only thing I will miss is that maintaining and repairing a SS Bike is so simple and economical compared toa Geared Bike,
But after today, I think it's time for a Geared Bike.
I'm curious how high other riders have gone here. and what a Geared Bike would do on this course
