So is there a prefered method or technique to hills in regards to pedaling? I find on the larger hills (and this is my first season of riding since I was a teen) I'll pull up with the hamstrings for the first part, then spin with the quads for the second. I'll only mash if I need to get my weight behind it if the quads have burned up. I know HTFU, but is one better than the other, or a question of trying to keep all the muscles fresh?

Nevermind, just read all the responses in between.
