Do you sit or stand going up hills?

smile when climbing....(Plus, people see you and think you are nuts - and that's always good for an internal giggle or two )

Speaking of people thinking you're nuts. I was watching the pros stick out their tongues in the TdF during hard climbs and sprints, and decided to try it, and it really helps open the airway! You have to stick it out hard enough to feel the pull at the back of your throat, try to touch your chin with your tongue.
