Don't forget to re-inflate your tires w/ helium, too... Shaving grams
will definitely trump aero on this one.

Normal bike normal helmet, It can get hot on that climb. It is too steep
for a TT bike as they say you get no advantage from the aero position
when you go below 16mph.

Ian McKissick broke the course record on his TT bike last year at the
Wa Hill Climb champs, but Crystal Mtn Blvd is a lot faster than
Timberline
