Out of interest, how come you do this to yourself? Isn't it more... sensible? Practical? To ride a geared bike, rather than flipping a wheel and getting your hands dirty?
Or do you just like channelling pre-war cyclists? Fucking kudos to you for riding a cat1 climb on a fixed though. Hard work.
Descending a cat 1 climb on 41:26. Turns my legs to useless sacks of piss. Which is unfortunate. As I descend it before climbing it.
I guess if the hill is shallow and short enough to spin down.
I tend to do rides with long climbs/descents which only require swapping between 48:16 and 41:26 once or twice.
Doing a rolling terrain ride with someone on gears sounds problematic to me.
