Greenhow Hill. Hmmmh.

Last weekend's ride was 50 miles including the right hand climb from Malham up to Fell Gate and Malham Tarn. Of course it is a matter of pride never to put my foot down but with a 29 cog I do wonder when that will first happen on climbs I used to do without concern - suggesting I am getting past it.

So do I do Park Rash yet again and risk stopping - or rest on my laurels with positive memories?

Campagnolo are a bit restrictive on options with lower gears so I think I might have to replace the whole derailleur - but what price vanity?
