40F and sunny. Another day riding geared, another day feeling faster than ever, and this bike has a computer so I can see I'm maintaining a cruising speed higher than I can do single-speed, and I am sweating harder now sitting down at my desk than when I get in riding single-speed, and yet again my gps phone says my avg rolling speed is lower (but at least this time I had a higher maximum speed).
I did notice that for a lot of uphill stuff while I was keeping the same general kind of cadence I always do, I was in a lower gear than my SS. So maybe I am spending more time in a lower gear that more than compensates for the bursts of using a higher gear.
Now to cool down, change clothes, and head off for ~5 hrs on the freeway in a company car. Puke puke puke
