42 at the front and an xt 11-34. the Xt cassette pyramidal increments made a lot of sense compared to a road cassette. I would have enjoyed 40t and/or a 11-36, even 11-40 for the steeper stuff, but doubt it would avoid the hike-a-bike moments.
keeping in mind that climbing is my best - relative - feat.

just finished this in 3 days, it was and must be now almost completely dry overall, especially on the ridgeway.
4 of us on drop bar bikes with tyres ranging from 33 to 43.
