speed
I'm trying to find the thread a while back where someone asked this same q.
You can upgrade your bike BUT what about your legs? Have you tried doing intervals or short sprints? What about hamstring exercises & other strength training?
In terms of hills & intervals-make your own training type plan? I'm sure that being in the US, it would be at your fingertips...Last edited by crazycanuck; 05-30-2009 at 09:57 PM.

Definitely intervals and specific sprint work, e.g. standing start sprints after a 30 minute warm up at decent pace, sprint 6-7, about 200m, in the drops as fast as you can outof the saddle, recover about 1km spinning repeat repeat repeat. Strength work will help too but intervals and sprints still offer resistance training
