Whew buddy this bike is NOT geared for climbing, especially after doing 30 miles.
I live on the top of a ridgeline, so anywhere I go from here is downhill. That means at the end of any ride, I'm climbing those same hills. It's not a huge elevation change. Maybe 80-100ft. But it's steep AF. I ended up getting a different cassette with a 34 tooth gear so I had a 34/34 option for climbing.
