Thanks [MENTION=10856]1066familyman[/MENTION] . Think im gonna be a few more days yet (hopefully, rather than weeks) but look forward to exploring eastwards some more.
On the cadence note I went out with a friend recently who was keeping his heart rate at 166 as that's what he knew his optimum performance to be (he does tri and perhaps more appropriate on a flatter route) but it seemed he was concentrating more on that than the gradient ahead and reading the road, his speed seemed all over the place to me.
I really don't know, interested to hear other views, but possibly concentrating on cadence too much can similarly take the joy and consistency (for want of better word) out the ride as opposed to putting it in, time and a place for it like.
