At some climbs, you have to ride down the course to get to the start from the signing on bit. I managed it on 25% descents on my 50-55% gear. The last thing I'd want to do, either just before an event, or in the long dark tunnel immediately afterwards, or during the intermittent vomiting and muscular spasms in my back for the next hour or so, would be to flip my back wheel around to another ratio. Fuck that.
