The Big Ring

Goin' fast. Ridin' in the Big Ring. Maybe there's a downhill. Maybe there's a tailwind. Maybe I'm cranking hard to get over a small hill. I shift to the big ring. It feels good to stand up, to pedal, to stretch. I power the pedals with a few hard cranks and then sit back and glide along, letting my momentum carry me. The right gear combination for the right terrain. The big ring makes things possible.
