Hey, all:

MuddyTrails here, "reporting" from Granada, Spain. I just got back home from vacation in Galicia (gorgeous!) and thought I'd make it in time to grab my bike and watch yesterday's stage....

I own a small business, only 8 km from my home, but since I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, it feels uphill in both directions :o. Well, about two months ago one of me employees started...

@pll. The Vuelta will be in my backyard on Aug 23rd, going over Blancares Pass, where I often train, on the way to a finish in Sierra Nevada. If you start the Vuelta thread, I promise pix of that...

Thanks pll and KnottedYet for your responses!

Indeed, I didn't see anything on this board on handcranks, but I was sure someone here might know of the subject, at least to guide me. Turns out I...

Hola, Everyone:

I'm not sure if this thread belongs here, but I didn't know where else to put it.
