I ride Mt. Lemmon. That's not Mt. Lemmon.

drop into a lower gear, spam the cadence - watch everyone get left in the dust

@hrdclimber The gradient is 800 / 14000 = 0.057 or 5.7%.

Looks like Mount Lemon to me.

ok...i will ride smart from now on.... i didnt know lance had won king of mountain jersey's....

when he did those breakaways in the mountains...he was not spinning a high gear...he was taking the painnnnn...and more than anyone else can take as well...

@pmay222 Go for it. take the pain while the rest of us out sprint you at the end. Theres is a point where it's not just about being able to take the pain but also riding smart.

Lance didn't get king of the Mountain Jersey because you are only allowed to have one jersey and Yellow > KoM.... otherwise he would have had a bunch. obviously pmay222 you have no idea what you are talking about. Lance was one of the best climbers ever did you miss his breakaways on climbs, to win those tours?

[pmay222]

well...spin if you want...but drop out the bunch and your race is over.... if the pack is disappearing over the hill...nobody is going to wait while you spin in an easy gear.... how many king of the mountain jerseys did lance aquire...? i do not doubt this fella's knowledge.... but you just gotta TAKE THE PAINNNN if you want to hang on to the bunch
