math on a bike

in the game of gears, there are "gear inches" and these are things i cannot really explain. i can, however, relate these gear inches to one another in how hard they are to pedal, climb etc...i have been riding the single at 64.5 gi (36x16) and plan 2 ride this if the ground is dry at cheq...if i am wiped , not ready for or otherwise hesitant i will drop the gear inch to make the climbs easier on the lungs.

tonight i was happy 2 say that the 36x16 was a perfect gear for 2.5 hours of riding. its a silly game of math and wits to dial it in for one gear for the entire race. too much to try and forecast. we will see in the next couple weeks how it pans out. the other good measuring stick is how good do you feel after 2, 3, 4 hours of riding hard in the hills on a gear. this is getting annoying to type on a phone. see ya l8r.
