Augusto,
Give the race a shot, I think you?ll be spinning more than you like with
a 42/19. That?s around 59-60 gear inches. I?m fearful my 67 will be too
small on the downhills tomorrow.
Anyhow, it?s all about fun and learning.

I'm thinking of racing the fixed gear race tomorrow, my fixed gear bike
has a 42t chainring in the front and 19t in the back. It feels like it
may be too small of a gear to race on Tabor. What sort of gears are
people using up there? Is my present gearing way off (ie, should i not
even bother)or does it seem like it might work ok, even if its in the
more spinny side.
Thanks in advance for your feedback
Augusto

Too funny a post!
Cows and Bulls can both have horns. In fact it is having horns is a
recessive gene, not dominant, so for a calf to have horns, both parents
must have horns. Yeah, I knew growing up in a state with more cows than
people would someday pay off!
Now as for women having balls...Remember "The Crying Game"? :)

------------------------------------------------Cow's don't have horns.
Bulls have horns. Thus they are "Bull horn" bars.
Much like women don't have balls. Women certainly have the nerve to try
things that men would consider "ballsy." But to say a woman has the
balls to do something is inaccurate. Candi might have the fortitude to
race the fixed gear event, but she still has no balls.

We made a special exception for the fixed for the cowhorns. Done with
the
organizer, the chief official and the OBRA Administrator ;-)

"Q. Can I use my track bike?
A. Your bike must have at least one working brake.
Q. Can I use a bike that has cowhorn handlebars?
A. Yes. You can use a bike affixed with drop
handlebars, a flat bar, cowhorn bars, riser bars,
moustache bars, or even upright-curved bars, such as
the Dove or Albatross. The only type of bar that
might give OBRA reason to be concerned would be aero
bars, which aren't permitted in mass start events."
This info was not actually correct. The applicable rule is:
"9.8.2 Bicycles shall have a freewheel mechanism EXCEPTION: A fixed
gear and
single front brake may be used in time trial events or in races where
all
the competitors are similarly equipped. Freewheeled and fixed gear
bikes
shall not be mixed in the same mass start event.
9.8.3 Handlebar ends that point up or forward or that allow for
support of
the forearm are not allowed in mass start events."
In other words, if your bike only has one brake it must be on the
front.
Cowhorn or other bars that point forward are not permitted.
