Chris L, My cadence starts out good but once the hill gets steeper, my cadence comes to a crawl no matter how hard I try to keep it going. A big frustration.

Easy Rider, I do lift weights. When I lift it is to failure, not reps so I can lift a good amount of weight. I'm not worried about bulk because actaully I would love some bulk. So after reading through the thread, sounds like my technique is way off. My supervisor who used to be a racer told me that with my weight I should be flying up hills. I wished that were true. Any other suggestions would sure be great.
One more question...do women have a harder time with hills than men ?
