I spend almost no time in the tops. I end up going to the tops when
i'm tired and going uphill--otherwise, I'm on the hoods or just behind

headwinds, and descents.

laugh it up .. but there are a helluva lot more women riding mountain bikes
around here* than road bikes (even ajusted as a percentage for each group,
that still holds true. a higher percentage of mountain bikers are women
than road bikers).

not that i track such things, of course.

did i mention i just bought my first mountain bike?

* here is mountain bike crazy boise, idaho.
