I found myself "soft-pedalling" up Norwood on the first UP of the ride. Hey, dummy! This is supposed to be "hill / cadence training," not "easy touring training."

I think I have been BAD about HOW I've been pedalling UPs for a couple weeks. The point is to re-train the legs and the BRAIN to keep the cadence higher. Eventually, the legs and brain did a bit better.

I doubt it will make much, if any, difference on my UP speed.
