Road riding you should average round 85 -100 on flats and 70-85 on hills

 

MTB i cant say

 

 

 

Today i averaged for the first 30km 110 because of restricted gearing smileys/smiley7.gif" align="middle" /> amdretard2007-10-28 08:09:19

Am only interested in road cycling at the moment.  Does one get better the more one trains' date=' what is the best way to train to get to the higher cadences?[/quote']

 

was it the cannibal who said simply: "ride more"?

that is the plan' date=' but was wondering if there was anything in particular that i should look at doing when training[/quote']

 

seriously, buy a copy of mens health. work on intervals. lunges to strengthen the legs. put in loads of base kilos. not scientific, i know, but get a personal trainer and tell them what you want and get them to tailor you a plan

Self selected cadence is almost always the optimum (within reason) so don;t worry about it too much.

 

If you are down at the low end on the climbs you do then maybe consider a compact chainset to get up to ~70+

Already have a compact chainset, is the first ride after the shova, legs felt heavy for the first half of the ride, but have felt that i really struggle to keep the cadence high on hills.
