Went out on Saturday last for a 2 hour bike ride in the worst weather. Windy, rainy, hills etc. But I found myself in a strangely peaceful place. I was in the small wheel and my wheels were spinning. It was all so very effortless and pleasant as I maintained a 22mph speed.
I've realised it's much better to cycle like that - which I feel I could do forever - than forever be grinding round on a big gear, having my legs scream for mercy.

Ah Ha, not only will you find it easier cycling but it will make running off the bike easier.
Cadence around 96-100 and don't be afraid to change down your legs will thank you

Sound advice - and it's paying dividends. Did an organised 63 mile bike ride yesterday around the lanes of Hets, Bucks, Beds. Weather was stinking - full on headwinds, lashing rain, but did a creditable 3 and a half hours. Only came out of the small wheel twice ! But legs felt really fresh. Will check on the IM NZ results - now that would be cool eh - coming out to NZ, seeing you guys and doing IM NZ - but you'd have to do it too !!!
