In recent years, I've mostly run 42/16, but now I'm running 42/17 which makes the hills less painful and is good practice for me at maintaining a higher cadence. If I switched to fixed, I'd at least go back to 42/16, I reckon.

We spent the second night of our cross country ride at the former military base in Port Townsend, WA, where a lot of that was filmed. It’s now a neat state park. It was one of at least three film connections during the trip. We spent a night in Dyersville, IA. No one rode out to the field of dreams. We also spent a night in Grand Rapids, MN. Home town of Frances Ethel Gumm, better known as Judy Garland.

My favorite gear is my endura cycling shorts - not bibs. Size M. Favorite gear on the bike? Garmin head unit and Varia. Gear on drivetrain? Who really cares?

You're saying I need to upgrade to 12 speed, right? I'll tell Mrs. GJ - "Hey, I don't make the rules!"
