I have been out for a 50 miler today.
The route I chose had quite a few hills on it.
Some of the hills were marked with the single arrow on the OS map, so a steep hill. Not sure what gradient gains a single / double / triple arrow.
Anyway I digress. Today was the first time that I have had no need to resort to the granny ring when climbing. I have had the bike (Trek 7.3 FX) since last August. During that time, I have done some quite long rides (including a 100 miler), but I always used the granny ring when climbing.
So I must be getting stronger / better.
