Re: Black Mountain Up and Down advice

Up is easy, just gas it and try not to get caught behind the real slow ones. You will want the RPM's up 3500 to 4000, more wont hurt it.
Down is a bit harder, but I'd try to find a gear that would hold me around 35 to 40 with minimal brake. Whatever gear and speed you came up would be a good place to start going down, maybe even slower.
