Hi all, my first post here.
Did the Sydney to Gong last year on my Mountain Bike with slicks - in a bit over 4 hrs, but have just invested in a road bike. I can't recall the hills very much from last year, but don't remember having any problems with them on my mountain bike.
I've got a 53/39 chainring and 12-27 cassette, and find there are quite frequent times riding the hills around North Rocks when I'm down on the 39/27.
What sort of gearing do other (average) riders use on the Gong ride?
