How to become a faster climber
Hi all, this is my first post but I've been reading for awhile and have picked up so much helpful advice.
I've been mountain biking with my husband off and on for a couple of years. I would say I'm an intermediate mountain biker. I'm very comfortable going FAST downhill but I still struggle on the climbs. I just go too dang slow. Do any of you have advice on how to become a faster climber? Could I be relying on my granny too much? Not pushing myself hard enough? When I ride in a group, others tend to fly up the hills, and I always find myself a little ways back huffing and puffing. I ride a Santa Cruz Juliana and it's a little heavy I think. Any advice, tips, or tricks would be so helpful. Thanks!
