Cadence is down to you but I normally ride at around 90 to 95 cadence on the flat or slight uphill. This will drop to around 70 on the steeper hills and less than that on the walls that i have to climb occasionally. I will get out of the saddle when the cadence drops too low and no more gears but this will only be for short periods.
