Is it realistic to train for a 20% gradient by going up a 10% gradient at twice the GI of the lowest gear on my road bike ?
EDIT oops, that's a trigonometry fail, but other than that is it valid to assume that gaining 20cm of altitude for a pedal revolution is about the same effort at any gradient ?
