    Wow ! What a nice climb Erick! I never heard of this one before, so it's on my bucket list now.

    Kudo's man! I used to love riding Mountain Rd but too many close encounters. Those 2 cars around that bend gave me goosebumps lol.

      Ya I try to avoid NMR myself but these damn guys keep putting it on the route!! Both times I’ve been this year have been sketchy right at the tracks 🙃

    I’ve been training high cadence for months on Zwift. I’m now happy to spin at 90-100 rpm on Zwift or outdoors without suffering the high heart rate that I was getting when I started working out at the higher RPM.
    I’m getting segment PR’s almost every time I’m outside on the bike now using the higher cadence.

    Hey you were out in my neck of the woods. I've only tried this climb once so far, it's a tough one. Not my favorite because it's narrow and busy. DeWitt road has a lot more room. Did the climb at Thirty Road yesterday.

      I think I did Thirty on this ride after hitting Niagara Falls and heading back to Oakville. If it was the one I was sooooo COOKED at that point that I was having my funeral up the climb. Then the Squad proceeded to smash across Ridge to New Mountain for 40min where we got a top 10 KOM and I nearly raged quit the ride and went home solo 😅😂🙃

    hello my friend
    Please share the information on what you used to collect the data and how you displayed it, please
    Cadence it king for me, I normally ride in the 90's, as it gives me a better control over my energy utilisation over a long ride, but after the ride I ran a marathon.
    I have recently changed to a short crank, which has increased my cadence, but also my heartrate. Personally i think short cranks are better when riding in a group, as it allows me to achieve better acceleration, when the speed changes regularly. Slightly longer cranks when I time trial over a long distance.
    when I mountain bike higher cadence in a smaller gear keeps me going all day
    I did make a change from what I have done most of my riding life, I changed to smaller front rings, wish I had done this years ago, it has opened up a wider range of gears that are available for me to use, this did take some time to adjust too.
    I do lack that explosive sprint power I used to have or maybe that is my age
    Some years ago I tried a lower cadence and push a bigger gear, this was not a natural; thing for me while a friend did about 85 rpm and could maintain a bigger gear and that worked well for him
    anyway the data displayed and the software you used, please

      Telemetry Overlay and there’s plenty of videos on UA-cam on how to use it from the creator of the software.

    Mountain Road Climb that's not even 5 minutes long? I feel you could attack that harder and sprint the end 😜 (sure i've seen you zwift holding over 400 for longer) KOM hunting.

      @DontGetDroppedCycling  26 днів тому

      I don’t think any climb in Ontario is more than a minute long 😂 This was in the middle of a 250k banger so had to save some matches. Def not getting any uphill KOMs IRL, need an ebike
