Hey Paul! Is it possible you are responding to what I didn’t say as if it is what I did say? I’m not saying switch to single speed, only that riding single speed occationally will help you understand your gearing. Since you have two years under your belt of fixed riding, a muscle memory reminder may help you “know what you know,” if that makes sense.
“I'm still unclear whether it is better to push tall gears, something I've often done, or train to spin at a higher cadence.” Yes to both. Grin. But in a way that is sustainable. Aerobic breathing and heart rate, anaerobic muscle push through legs and arms. You mention mud and rain. Riding in mud is eqivilant to climbing hills. The trick is (no matter the gearing) to have aerobic power, because anaerobic power is unsustainable for more than a few minutes.
