Yeah. I'm debating what to do with my gearing - I've got a compact double on the litespeed with an 11-28 on the back of it. My carbon bike's got a triple with an 11-25, but I could put the 11-28 cassette on that bike. I should be able to do that big hill at the end with a triple & an 11-28 right?

But I'd really rather be on my litespeed for that long of a ride, but swapping all my components over to make the litespeed at triple would be a mild pain and probably the front derailleurs are the wrong size clamp on the bikes.

I'm not convinced that I can do that ride on a compact double.

I think I need to ride up Hamburg, Gambrill Park Road, and Coxey Brown a few times a day until the end of May. And maybe do the civil war century route a couple of times.

And I'd really rather be out kayaking a lot of these spring weekends.

Since the person that volunteered me for MOuntains of Misery doesn't actually plan on riding it with me, maybe I should just unvolunteer myself and do the wilderness road ride instead.
