I know I am pushing relatively light gears right now when I spin. I guess my question is, am I supposed to eventually work up to keeping the same cadence with a heavier gear. I am not really competitive, I am just trying to occupy my mind and build some skills while I am forced to use my trainer. We just got 8 more inches of snow and it is 19 out right now . If it sticks around, I may be able to go xc skiing this weekend. Man do I need to be outside!
