Keep in mind that even on the day we do the shuttle and 7,000 ft of decent, that 26 miles of trail also has 2000 ft of climbing. 2000 ft of climbing is like doing LT 15 or 20 times.


Sheesh... I shoulda trained more...

HIJACK OVER!!
Ray's right (it feels weird to say that), you should really consider a granny gear. My typical ride involves 2000 ft of climbing and I can tell you my granny gear is my best friend at times. 26 miles of downhill... Egypt doesn't sound as cool anymore...
