Having only ridden geared one or two times within memory, a tip I find really useful is for the front ring, small if you're going up hill, big if you're going downhill (and if you're doing neither then lucky you and make the best of it!). Then the back should kind of take care of itself.

Rep! This is a unrelentingly brutal ride, I'm surprised you only resorted to the granny ring at the end! Apart from like box hill i probably used mine on every hill haha

I did the Surrey TotH yesterday. Was fupping hard and as my first ever geared bike ride ever really, I spent much time worrying about what gear I was in.
The Steamride looks boss but I'm away for that one. Which is convenient because I would fail at it anyway...
