At the current moment I have average about 35km/h for a 10km stretch. This particular road has a total of 60/70m climb so not much of a climb anyway. The maximum is 7% grade by the way. On my bike spins I tend to go in slow gears trying not to use the big chain on the front too much unless it is downhill or flat road decline of 1%. So I will train smaller spins with low gears and a lot of RPM between 90-110 it my aim. Current moment average on 88-92rpm. Best Regards Uffe hi, there

Problem is, I'm slow. I'll go all day at 14 to 16 mph, how can I turn stamina into speed? I love riding time trials, but I'm tired of getting smoked.
