Anyone have a smallish (36-40) 110 3/32 chainring they'd like to lend me for the uphill sprints?
Or a geared bike?
Hills aren't my strong point, but what the heck, it's worth a try, right?
I guess I could rock the polo bike... that has the right gearing on it... but shitty ergonomics for actually pedaling hard.

denny, you can borrow my road bike... if langston ever gives me my wheel back. it's light and a pretty quick climber. downtube shifters rock!
i also have a 38t x 110bcd chainring i think, plus andre has a stack too i believe if you'd like to go fixed.
i pwned pj. diddy on the impromptu hillsprint up stone way last night, with nothing in my stomach but girl scout cookies and a pint of beer. that was... not fun. i didn't puke though, and so i rewarded myself by going to dicks for some fries and a burger.

Well, what are you gonna ride if I borrow your road bike?
Edit - oh yeah, you're gonna be at your party.
I think I might prefer fixed... but I'm an idiot.

Denny, the man that whooped our asses up Freemont last Thursday.

oh yeah, and i have a 23t 3/32 cog as well. so if folks want to do it fixed, we can help you out. personally, i would totally do it fixed with the right gear ratio if i were to do it at all. when i'm climbing i almost never use my gears correctly.
