Climbing formClimbing form� Try to remain seated on
longer climbs, choosing an intensity and gear/cadence suited to the length & steepness of the climb, i.e., which lets you pedal smoothly and steadily all the way up; too small a gear/too high a cadence is better than too big/too low
� Climbing out-of-the-saddle produces more power in the short term, but should generally be reserved for shorter climbs and relief from the seated position on extended climbs
Climbing form (seated)Climbing form (seated)
� Weight shifted back on saddle, arms/upper body relaxed
� Hands on brake lever hoods or tops of handlebars (almost never on
