That 32 has to make a major difference with that big a climb. I have a 30/27 (chain ring/cog) on the Allez and a 34/28 on the Roubaix and the Allez is easier. 30/34 on the trike, heavier machine, it will climb but slowly. But I'm not "best friends" with gravity. BIG KUDOS to you!
Catching up: Thursday 18.5 on the Allez
Rain Friday (no ride, I was grumpy all day)
Saturday 17.7 on the trike
Sunday 16.5 on the Allez (I'll get the seat angle right eventually)
