I've always ignored AAA rides as too hilly for fixed wheel - but I'm just figuring out the points system for the FWC and you get both the distance & AAA points combined?? So for a 2 1/4 AAA 100km, you get 3 1/4 FWC points...? That sounds much easier than riding 300kms on the flat (that's not that flat usually).
Soooo, what sort of gearing do people use on AAA-type rides? I'm more than happy on 44 or 42 x 16 for flat rides; if I stuck a 20t sprocket on the back would I be in the right ballpark?
