Does it qualify as mashing if...

[Mr. Bloom]

My usual cadence is around 80-85 and I am sure I get down to 50 or 60 on some of the 15-20% climbs around here.

My average cadence on the flats was 68 last year.

While my cadence counter isn't working right now, I still find that if I spin too much, my knees really, really hurt. By guess is that my average cadence on the flats is still at best in the low 80's
