Sorry, I meant clipless. I try to keep my cadence in the 70's. I do find myself grinding big gears sometimes but back down a gear or two once I realize it. Just seems like I could be way more efficient with the stroke than I am. There aren't any real flat stretches for any distance even though the kids that blow by me might say otherwise.

If I am hearing this right I should try to get into a lower gear and higher cadence (easier peddling) to get the feel and technique? Don't worry about speed at all.

Thanks
