My two cents' worth would be that you're geared too low. I suggest setting yourself up with around 70-72 gear inches. You can always go to the small ring (or flip the hub) if you come to a prolonged climb.
I rode PBP (lots of rolling terrain) in 72", and thought later that I could have used a slightly higher gear. --Eric Norris Sent from my iPhone 3G*S* On Aug 18, 2009, at 12:24 PM, johnb <jbust...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thoughts on gearing?
