My weekend rides, and my ride today, have been on the Cornish coast. Most of the roads here seem to be an endless succession of short steep hills, and not only did I bring my tarck bike I forgot to bring the bigger cog I had intended to fit.
I think I've learnt a lesson here (I really regret not bringing gears) but I've also improved my fixed climbing technique and spun faster than I thought I could manage on the many descents, so it's not so bad.
