I was able to "ride by cadence" today

First time I actually saw where I was spinning. Tried to keep it around 85rpm today. As my cadence sped up, shifted to a higher gear. Downshifted when I slowed down...

I think I was spinning in the 60-70rpm range on the 50 mile ride. I was also not utilizing the clipless pedals properly...using them for nothing more than to keep my feet on the pedals. I was only peddling by pushing down on the pedals, and not for the "up stroke." I'm currently working on improving/correcting my technique. I must be doing something right, since I'm feeling that in my legs.

I want to ensure this isn't a "flash in the pan" before... -- EDGEMAN 08/31/2017 2:31PM

Yep, better to pedal fast against low resistance than grind away... -- hookie 08/31/2017 2:37PM
