Ha! Actually, scented people refers to the layers of artificial scents
people accumulate unwittingly via laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, shaving
cream, and much, much more. They blow up in my brain and on the trail I can
literally smell them from more than a mile away. THAT'S what stinks.
Scented people? I'm sure my scent at the end of a 200k is always going to
be pretty bad.

Your writing is wondrous. I've run long distances (40 miles in a day,
anyway) and I've been interested in remote dirt road and single track
riding that is long distance. I've found some routes that work, and wight
he Quickbeam coming as a light, fast, go-far bike vs the Hunqapillar as a
ride
I would be surprised if a single speed were faster
than a geared bike on mixed terrain. The net weight differences will be small,
percwntage wise, whereas the gain in efficiency (maybe not the right word) when
changing gearing needs will be large. Don't ask me for specific numbers!
Either way,
So far on rides of up to 3 hours (all I've tested so far), I am definitely
faster on mixed terrain in poser SS mode on the Hunqapillar, which has
racks and 2.25 Smart Sams for beefy trails and backpacking on said trails.
And I'm not more tired either. I'm definitely getting stronger after just
