Won't be doing much this week, given the high winds forecast, but hope to be up to 50 plus miles by next month.
BTW- Going up hills, I do find I use pull strokes a lot, as well as when accelerating. Just seems the right thing to do? Without clips, you must lose so much, and make the push stroke much harder in comparison, surely?
Without a doubt going up a slope unckipped - and I had enough slopes yesterday - is pure push work. I find the trick is to get down the gears and to do slow, powerful pushes as opposed to tearing away at it. I suppose I'll really feel the benefit when I can be bothered to start clipping in.
