Ok, some side notes from the Big O, what I will use, what I wanna do different.I like the 2 x 9 with a 12 - 27 rear cassette. Seemed very well suited to my style of riding. I had to learn though when shifting to the middle ring to work my front Derailleur close to my middle ring with the grip shift so it would act as a chain guide in the rough stuff.
I love the aero bars! If your gonna be riding lots of straight dirt or pavement, the aero bars do help.
I love my mountain feedbags, very versatile, as a matter of fact, I felt my pack strategy was spot on, probably the same packing I will do for the CFiTT, probably a lil lighter and more refuel spots.
The place where I had my Etrex mounted was not working for me. I need to find a good stem mount for that thing so that it can be functional and practical with the Aero Bars on.
That being said, I have been asking around how they would handle a 180 mile straight effort and getting some interesting answers.
My focus for the next couple of weeks is preparation for my shot, I am working on doing everything I can to be as prepared as possible.
That is all, Now the some pics I borrowed from FE, I decided to put up all the shots I liked the most.
Laters,
LOS

The one thing notice about gps problem was that to low on the bars rob had a hell of a time reading the screen . but if you are going use the aero bars the gps is nested between the bars you should be able get a good view of the screen.Rob should put his up on a pedestal. Just a thought
