We did a couple of climbs, and I felt like I had an unfair advantage. I joked with a couple of people that the bike shop had put helium in my tires. No joke, though, it was practically effortless.....and I didn't touch the inner chainring all day.

(what I really need is a thumbing nose smiley...)

- Jo, who got very friendly indeed with her small chain ring today, hee.
