• Missed out on the 'still-got-1-gear-in-the-bank' mental support.

    The mentality will always be there no matter how many gears you have, even if you have a bigger sprockets/smaller chainring.

    As long you're able to keep spinning the cranks without feeling like you have to stand up, you're grand.

  • Well I definitely had to stand for the penultimate km. In addition to stopping about 10 times after Chalet Reynard.

    Maybe the gearing was too high after all.
