"Trekin', you WILL get to the point where you can look at your rear cog between your legs when you ride without veering - it's second nature for me to take a quick look when I lose track."

yikes emily, I can't do it without running into a tree ;-)

I check the front ring. On the rear have learned to keep mental track by noting where i am when stopped and from there "I think I'm in the middle, I think I've got 3 gears left" sometimes I'm wrong 8-(

"Or, you can get a Shimano Flightdeck computer, which will show you on the LCD which cog you're in in back." ...and front, and cadence, and mph, and distance and how many days till Christmas and...you Shimano clad gals are so lucky. I looooooove my Campy but i miss flightdeck.

happy trails
