so...if i can inquire...

I notice that on a particular 14 mile climb... I stand what seems every bend. the road gradient is steeper in the corners. since there are alot of turns... I'd guess I'm standing about 40 % of this climb. I mainly stand as a last resort... I'm tired of sitting and need to push through the turns. however... I almost always lose speed while changingto a standing effort...

is it better to increase my sitting efforts to maintain speed? or just get better at standing?!?

also... the amount of standing on this particular climb is, I think, because of all the varying gradients... any advice how to cope with this as it breaks my rhythm alot
