Allow me to reveal the secrets:
A) Lose a few pounds
B) Do interval training/including hill repeats
It's that simple. Power to weight ratio. More power/less weight = better climbing.
So what you're saying is that if I lose weight, train, and apply myself to the training, I should get better? Like DocRay's super secret training tip - if I turn the pedals faster, I will go faster?
Nonsense. Rubbish. Poppycock. Claptrap. Horsefeathers, sir. Good day to you, sir.
I said, "Good day."
