Hi,
I recently started commuting by bike. I ride 25 miles per day.
I live in an area full of hills, and I'm having trouble in an 1.5 mile hill that starts with a 12% grade and goes to 16%.
I'm struggling to climb this hill. I have to stop at least once. I am 38yo, 5ft8.5in, 170lb and 12%BF.
I recently bought a descent road bike, but it did not help much climbing this hill.
So, will it make a big difference if I lose 10lb (new weight 160)?
Thanks
