I left work a couple of hours early yesterday to ride some dirt/gravel roads and crushed limestone like trails by my house. Ever since getting my cyclocross bike I have been looking for quiet country dirt roads and am pleasantly surprised to find this one so close to my house. Thank you google earth. I didn't see pavement or a car until the very end of my hour long ride. I did however see 6 big turkeys fly higher and longer than I have ever seen turkeys fly. They must have flown at least 50 feet high and a hundred meters long up into some trees. Lesson of the day is that country roads are steep hilly roads compared to near by paved examples. I need lower gears or a lower body weight.

105 long cage and a 12/34 would have you climbing up almost any hill. Gears are good, and good gears are great. "Spin low sweet chariot."
Oh ya? - two of my bikes have 24 gears, and I've used all of them. That's 48 gears!
