A tough 62 miles today taking in some local hills giving me over 4000 feet of elevation...Why did I change from a compact chainset

Nice ride... I'm looking forward to my little 67 mile jaunt on Sunday with a similar amount of climbing.

Been a lot of wind from a northeasterly direction recently and if you have that for Loch Ness you'll fly down the loch side, however it makes for a tough return to the finish line. With a bit of luck there will be our usual southwesterly and that will get you back to base with ease

Half the return is downhill so not so worried, it's the big hill climb that's the only concern, but contemplating putting the compact back on the bike which will make it a skoosh.

Compact chainsets are for girls

Just looked at the hill profile on Strava.. It's not quite as scary as I thought.. though it is 5 miles long and a Cat 2 hill
