| I must say, I'm not overly excited about racing tomorrow. Virtually no road saddle time and absolutely no group time this year... I'm going to get deposed in the first 5 laps, probably. I'll work for my buddy Joey for as long as I can. | |

Was the difference attributable to:
(a) Tires inflated to higher pressure.
(b) One or more fewer stops at the lights.
(c) MASSIVE INCREASE IN POWER OUTPUT. | C probably but maybe A when you factor the relative humidity with the dew point and road gradient. Definitely not B. | |

Thinking about riding my singlespeed mtn bike cause she will go too slow. | On the loop road? Not steep. Or at least not long and steep. Probably only four or so spots where a single speed might be an issue. And you might have to wait for her in those areas anyway.
There are a couple steeper descents where signs say you are supposed to walk down the hill.

| Not sure exactly. It's an "urban" bike instead of a road bike I guess, whatever that means. It's nothing special. Sub 40 - SCOTT Sports
Not 100% sure but that looks like the one | |
