You're not gonna need the rear brake, either.

Yeah, we hadn't invented wide-range road cassettes back then, and I was on Campy anyway. Fortunately I was just a few miles away. Best of luck to you, I hope you crush it!

That’s what, 7 or 8 repeats? I did similar about 15 years ago when I was training for Mt. W. My climbing setup was a 22t chainring (only) with a 11-25 cassette. The ride from my house to Big Blue was entertaining on that.

There are, but that’s not going to happen in all states. It’s just another way in which fundamental rights won’t be accessible to all Americans.

Having recently gone through a similar situation in my own family, I'll say this: take care of yourself, and find help. It's too big a job for one or even two people.

I do occasionally - and did for running, back when I thought running was a good idea - and that works fine.

Pros: multi-day battery life when not using GPS (monochrome LCD). Connects to all my bike gadgets. Upload is as easy as with my Garmin Edge bike computer. I have not had significant software issues.

For reference, this is a Fenix 3 from 2016 that I bought for a backpacking trip. Cons: it's bulky. I never did figure out how to turn off the phone alert vibration so it buzzes for everything that appears on the phone, even stuff where I turned off the phone vibe alert. /cont

For comparison, I pay $75/month for 1GB/1GB fiber from an ISP run by my city. This is a Very Good Deal as things go in the USA. There is no universal service requirement for broadband here. Rural internet access is a big issue, many areas have only satellite options.
