My most recent was a 20 plus mile off road ride with some pretty gnarly hills where I didn't use the granny or have to get off and hoof it to the top. This particular ride has been a goal of mine for quite a while. I'm working toward a single speed and have imposed a gear changing moratorium on my self. At first I thought I would die but now it is cool to see just how far and high I can go. I've become exponentially stronger in what seems like no time at all! It's also fun to see the look on the faces and hear the comments of people when you pass them and they realize what ratios you are using.
