Just starting getting back into longer rides on a geared bike-some useful advice here. I'm finding a hilly 33 miles (best local ride) is taking me about 2 hours, and to be honest the hills are killing me-granny cogging it the whole way up for the big climb, which leaves my legs pretty melted after.
Any good techniques for improving climbing performance? (a pint of guiness on a wee electric train might do the trick) I really wish I'd bought a turbo before christmas instead of being lazy and holding out for the better weather! ;/
