I hope you have a blast and I look forward to the updates.
YES! Lesson learned. There were not a lot of hills. My 27 inch low gear was sufficient. HOWEVER! A couple of my Air B&Bs were on the top of some nasty local hills. I had to walk the bike. Wasn't easy. Yes! I should of least had a 32 in the back. not a 28!
