Oh, no....Lisa!!! Please don't think I was questioning (or God forbid, slamming) your bike riding or questioning your gear choices! I've been reading about your riding for the past year and a half or so, and have been amazed and very impressed! I'm just used to a standard triple at 53/42/32, so to see a bike with a 26 (or a 24!) is ... well... it's "wow."
It's just my ignorance showing. Sorry!
