some good work on here, BWD 😉
ooOOoo:
Just try to find some [b]loops[/b] that have less climbing than descents, works for me.
...clearly you can also warp time and space too. 😉
...or do you ride inside Escher pictures?
mos - MemberWhat about losing some weight?
When i dropped from 16st down to 14.5st, i was monstering all the whippets that had previously left me on climbs for years.

that must be one of newton's laws - every something has an equal and opposite something - i went form 14.5 to 16....... it's all your fault!
make sure you use the gears to your advantage and in plenty of time; as above spinning an easier gear and going "slower" initially but being able to keep it up and then ride on once the climb is done is much more easily achieved if it's your lungs that have to recover, rather than your leg muscles.
Make sure your saddle is high enough!! Leg straight with heel on pedal at bottom of stroke. Therefore a hint of a bend when clipped in at bottom of stroke. Too low and your legs *will* explode quickly.
What's your age? 😯
And you have to love the burn.....
Since I hit my 40's...I've less time to ride...I've lost loads of power... lost my snap... and take longer to recover.. 😳
I think the BS theory is you loose 1% of your strength for every year past 30... 🙁
You need to find a loop with short burst climb and a killer descent... it's a win win.... 😀
