"The Race Across America is, in itself, an amazing feat. And it’s how the cyclists ride it and adapt to the conditions that make it so much fun to watch. Tinker Juarez has been riding the ENTIRE race in his big chain ring, that is he has been in a higher gear throughout the Rockies! Asked about this, Tinker says “It just feels right” and he’ll stay in the big ring as long as it feels good. He admits he will most likely have to gear down to his smaller ring when he gets to West Virginia, where he’ll face the steeper but shorter climbs of the Appalachians."
