The longer the ride the higher the gearing - on my 303km daytrip I did 51x16/17 and didn't feel overgeared.

Y tho.
To impress ladies ;)
Jokes aside, I didn't know what to expect since the longest ride I ever did was about 60km. Also 50x17 is what I ride as a daily so I thought I had to go higher than that. But 50x15 was definitely a bit overgeared, 16t would have been perfect.https://www.strava.com/activities/1198035225/
That's before my friends convinced me to not go home by train

Yeah, was quite fun. Shoes seem to be properly worn in now and also nothing other than knees hurt. Pushing 50x15 was quite tough sometimes.
