Day 3 on my new bike, doubting the 9 speed - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

So took the bike out today with a 32 mountain in the back and a 39 in the
front. I still had to grind up the hill, but not nearly as bad. However,
by the time I was done with my 13 mile ride my back was a little sore and
my knees hurt a little. I'm starting to unfortunately come to the
conclusion that perhaps I *need* all those little gears in between that
you get with a triple. Trying to figure out what to do now.
