Welcome, skippy2309--but do drop your gearing. You'll be fine for a while, but knee injuries creep up on you without prior warning. Aim for around 70 gear inches for lasting joy or experience pain from pushing a gear that's much too high for you. You may know what you want, but at nearly 100gi, you risk damaging yourself.
Enjoy your riding!
