When you get into that range, what kind of gear are you pushing. I find that if I get over 100, I lose power. I seem to be most efficient in the low 80s to low 90s range (as measured by speed, not a power meter). That just seems to be my sweet spot. Granted, I'm not doing any training specifically aimed at raising cadence.Am I missing something?
