Cycling technique advice - it worked!!

There's something dodgy going on here. On Wednesday I returned to cycle in an area for the first time in nearly thirty years and what do I find? Some sneaky swine had been tampering with the gradient of the hills that previously had given me no problems at all. This is completely unacceptable and a disgustingly underhanded practice.

It's the EU common gradient policy...

Also a little known universal equation. Let G=gradient and A=Age.

As A becomes A+1, G becomes G+1.5

It's the EU common gradient policy...

There is NO point strugglng up a hill, because when you get to the top, there will be a litle old lady with a dog and a young mum with a pushchair chuckling at you.

Ta much, that's the site I was looking for, and having read the other thread on how to measure climbs, I'll just keep quiet from now on

I approach small to medium hills with a bit of momentum, change into a bigger (harder) gear, then grind to the top stood up, and when I crest the summit, drop it a couple of gears, sit down and spin away. Works for me.
