Crankin, hill starts still scare me so I just won't do them. When I see it must happen I stop early so I don't get scared about tipping over and then walk the rest of the way. Of course that is all theoretical as I've not been in real traffic this year

Indy I hope your back continues to improve. I've wondered just how hilly your Memorial Day ride is given the location. I figuded there must be some steep/long climbs.
