This can be cables, or derailleur adjustment, or a tight link in your chain.
Pedal your bike backwards slowly (not while you are on it) and see if the chain jumps a little anywhere. If it does, you probably have a tight link

My bike did that, especially when I would stand up to climb a hill, i had to have the rear derailler cable replaced.

Sorry for not responding earlier - I was out of town for a few days. Thanks for the input. I'll check the chain and make sure the cable is lubed.

I had this problem when I rode both unloaded and loaded on my tour. When I was in granny gear, the gears would jump off the cog,leaving me with the possibility of a broken chain.
Turns out it was both crappy cables (got them replaced) and a bent derailler (had to buy a new one)--there were no problems after that, so good luck!

grease the chain not the cable. And be sure to wipe of excess lubrication.
