I'm not an expert, just out there riding. This is my first season with a cadence monitor. When I'm just moving down the trail my cadence is between 65 and 80+. Hills . . . I'm very lucky to stay above 50. We hit a nice, long, straight stretch of trail/road yesterday and I think I was actually spinning for the first time and did hit 90+ with my cadence at 18+ mph. It felt great and I would love to be there all the time, but it's not happening yet. It's definetly a hit or miss thing.

Spinning and high cadence are great. Don't knock yourself trying to hit the high number right now. Work up to it and enjoy the moments when you do hit it right. BikerHen
