Subject: RE: Fred Doucette's Half-Iron and Ironman Focused Group! -CLOSED!Have a great Christmas/ Happy Holidays everyone! Thank you Fred, Randy, Rene about making me less embarrassed about my "country mike bike". (everything about me is low tech! ) Fred, I took a look and looks like I have compact on the front 50/34 and I think my cassette is 12/25 or maybe even lower... I already stopped in the bike shop (didn't have my bike with me though! ) and said "hey guys I know I need what's called a 11/28 or at least a 12/27" so planning to get this. I know I will need it. (btw just to give you some ballpark the only number I have for my biking ability is that I had a rate of 18.3 in an olympic tri with rolling hills: in other words 40 kilometers in 1:21 ) Hey Randy I'm glad you are doing IMLP too! and btw you are a super writer..I have reread your story a few times because it is so funny Kate |
