Cycling Cadence

Indoors this winter I'm working a bit on pushing harder gears at lower cadence to build up some leg strength.  But even when I'm not, I find it tough to get anywhere near 100 rpm on the bike.  I use a fluid trainer, so maybe it's the steepness of the resistance curve.  Maybe I just have to start at a really wimpy gear and then speed up, and it will get to the right level of difficulty.  Maybe I'm just not reading how to use the trainer just right.

One semi-warm day a week ago, I took an hour outdoor ride.  110 rpm no problem.  95 minumum.

Got up on rollers for a few minutes for the first time yesterday.  A bit wobbly and scary, but pretty cool.
