At 130 lbs soaking wet I don't have that much weight to loose. I've been leaner in the past but my endurance suffered.
With a higher cadence I usually move slower. Some people can spin better than I can. I prefer to pound it up the hills.
Weight is not the issue for you, it your conditioning. Just keep on hammering it and the climbs will get easier. There is no big secret to endurance sports such as cycling for 99.9% of us out there. Just keep doing it.
