standing to pedal
So I want to ask the group about how long you can stand and continuously pedal? I guess another way to look at it is something liking climbing but this is not climbing question. For me to stand and pedal such as a long gradual rise of the road, which is the best conditions for out of the saddle to me, I can pedal about 30-40 reps then I get pretty out of sync. I can simply then stand a bit and coast and start back but to continuously pedal out of the saddle seems like there is a limit. I wonder if anyone else has any thoughts or how they ride.
The reason is that it seems to me that as I age I find standing to pedal harder to stay smooth and balanced for lengths of time. I don't watch much cycling but I have seen situation where riders are out of the saddle for a length of time. For me I could not imagine continuous pedaling for say even 1/2 mile.
