The time trials in this area are anything from dead flat to large rolling hills with the occasional hill climb TT (in which case, I stick with the road bike).

WOW! Looks fast!
Do you run the AM Classics or have race wheels as well?

OT, I know, but what are you doing to that poor corgi in your avatar?

Andrea, How did y'all rate the road Saturday in terms of hills. That's a road I've ridden LOTS so I'm just curious.
Back when I first started, I thought it was tough. But not so much now.

I've got some Zipp race wheels, but those American Classics actually turned out to be pretty nice compared to my other training wheels. Originally Posted by Mr. SR500
