Also I'm going to be in my late 50' soon and I guess this level will fade away, just like my hair.
Dunno about where you live, but I just turned 60, riding in SoCal right around the San Gabriels, so serious climbing is unavoidable. I'm down in the low 60s gear inches, there's times when I could see going lower. That's on my ss cross bike. I used to ride a ss 29'r mtb and was down in the 40's gear inches for singletrack in the mountains. I'm one of those "gear for the climbs" people. I'll take the spinning out at this point in my life
