Set a new all time best average speed for myself yesterday on a route I do about 14 miles with some hills on.
Shock and amazement Im into double figures 10.8 average mph.Im sure most of you will laugh at that but last time I did it it was 8.3 and I felt worn out.This time i enjoyed every minute of it. Even had a cheery wave from a couple of guys on road bikes as they overtook me,I only let them by as a courtesy,didnt want to show them up on a Halfords Hybrid.
I have just been out getting fingers dirty counting teeth on chain rings,my "Granny Ring" is a 24 which I use often on steep hills. Most of the bikes I look at in shops/ online with a view to upgrading at some point seem to have 28 teeth grannys. Will the better quality of the bikes help on the hills or would it be that much harder?
