    Hi all! I'm pretty new to riding, and extremely new to this forum! I would like to increase my speed as well, so I read this thread with interest. I don't know some of the vernacular, though. Can someone explain the difference between "hammering" and "spinning"?

    Thanks!

    HuffandPuff is nickname we've given to one of the more challenging hill rides here in Vt. Close to the top there's a house with sign that says "Huff and Puff" - bet they are bikers! You guys are right about enjoy my ride - that is what it's all about! Had a great ride with my daughter yesterday, 25 miles, quite a bit of hill and we were proud of how well we did. Layed on the grass under a big tree at top of one hill, sat on picnic table by a stream later, went to great National Park up here and had a picnic. Wow, what a day! Off for quick ride this morning - another beautiful day - maybe I'll even leave that bike computer off!

    Huff and Puff, you sound fine to me.
    I'd be happy to do intervals with you...
    PM me if you want to ride.
