Your're almost as crazy as I am! Is this a good or bad thing?
You're pics aren't showing up!
I'm trying to remember- I know you have a double - is standard or compact (hint: Chainrings have thier # of teeth stamped in)
It's a lot easier the other way. Or go up mountain instead. I think it maxes at about 8%.
That would be a tough one for a new rider! going up to Neely's Corner's would be a better idea, IMHO
Congrats and WooHoo!!!
