Before someone jumps all over you try and be a little more specific as hills and terrian vary.
Also techniques vary as some like to grind outthe big rings and others manitain a higher cadence in lower gears. -
Just stay in the gear ur in, as your cadence starts to drop start descending the rear gears. Once at half way i drop to the small front ring, then continue the first step.
