Agreed to some extent re: two people of same fitness; although as you know some people prefer to spin and others grind, both arriving at same time. FYI - done the gutter thing, very embarrassing ;-) Thanks for your comment.

When fresh two people of similar fitness will turn the same gear irrespective of the range available... When struggling human nature dictates you will reach for your lowest. In conclusion, choose bigger, get there faster. At some point, however, you may actually fall off your bike into the gutter... Even Pantani needed a 23! A mathematical proof awaits. From my own experience…

OK so it's not the same as a mountain, but after a full days work it can feel like the Col de Columbia :), I used to live near there and I really want to get back to see if it's even remotely possible on a bike. Annecy to La Clusaz would be the initial challenge.
