On my ride last night my goal was to keep the cadence no less than 85 (except on the hill - 70), otherwise primarily between 88 - 95, couple times I was up to 100, so I shifted gears. I felt pretty good, but I'm wondering if I should be in a slightly lower gear but spinning closer to 85 - 90?

"Some people spin in easy gears, some people mash in hard ones.
Until recently I used to be a masher, thought the harder the gear, the better the workout - what a misconception! It's soooo much easier to spin in the easier gears!

Thanks gals!
