Like some said above - it's all about your legs. I ride 50/14 on the road and do weight training (I'm not a God though... yet!). But yes, I think I will gear down for this even if it's just for the psychological impact of pushing a smaller gear.
However, the bigger the gear the less revolutions you'll be doing on the corners so less chance of pedal strike. Just something to think about!
