My general riding-gear has 16 teeth which before I upgraded to 48 teeth in the front constituted my Climbing Gear. Now I specifically climb on 18 teeth and bop around the bike-paths on 16. I planned on a mix of climbing & sprinting but the wind dissuaded any Airport laps.
I fought-off some insistent cramps at mile 19; I haven’t cramped on a ride in 8 years or longer. It means I need to pedal much more often.
