Course as found on Strava (link)
that "St Elmo to Methodist church" segment is legit: 3.2 miles at 6% with the first 1.6 miles of that at 8%.
I'm thinking 50 x 11-36 to cope with that race day. Anyone else given thought to their 1x gearing choice?
On a ride last week, I thought about this climb when going up a climb out my back door while running my 50 x 11-32: https://www.strava.com/...2/analysis/3954/4638
When the grade broke 8%, I was really mashing and that's just not going to work race day, especially with the grade in Chattanooga breaking 8, 9 and even 10% at times for good little stretches.
honestly, though, I'd kind of like to just replace my 32 with a 34 so I can keep my 14t cog.
