HILLS. How can i improve?

[totallyfixed]

Don't get too hung up on peak flows, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't do hills, dr_pink on here has a poor peak flow but if you saw what she did on the recent Shap hill climb it would give you a lot of encouragement.

Am I the only cyclist that works harder going DOWN hills than up them. I do work hard going up hills but any decent descent is another top speed run for me, in other words I go ballistic and see what speed I can reach. I weigh less than 60kg so I have an easier time of hills compared to other cyclists (even reasonably good ones).

I can do hills, just slowly.

I am going to ride the Tourmalet in July, but probably will break the record for the slowest ascent. But I will still get up it.......

As a large boned person, I have learned to hone my skills as a descender, few get past me going down. Everyone gets past me going up though. Which is fine. :-)
