Tested my new 47 t chainring climbing the MicroSoft hill today. The Surly stainless steel ring worked very well , my legs not so well. I was suffering "lead legs" climbing and even on the flats. I clearly needed another recovery day from the strength training. The carb restriction diet is also likely a contributing cause of the lack of zip in my legs. Anyway the 27.6 gear inches seems adequate for most hills, although this in no way makes me into a hill climber again. A mountain biker climbed the hill with me passed me and put about 400 yards on me before I reached the summit at overlake. That was depressing...
17.67 road miles, (1 mile of climbing)
