I was planning on commuting to work (5 miles) by Labor Day. Through late July and early August I had dusted off my 10 year old Pacific bike and was riding around the neighborhood. I had the bike in the hardest settings (is that high gear or low? lol)because I figured that would help me prepare for the commute. I was doing 7-11 miles a ride. Things came up and I missed my goal but I'm still planning on it for next Tuesday. Wish me luck!
That would be high gear, and watch how much you use the highest gears on your bike especially if you are not in shape - pushing too big of a gear can be hard on your knees. Good luck, man!
