Wet and wild hill fest 50km/1000m.... headwind coming up the final ramp from Derbyshire Bridge to Cat and Fiddle was unbelievable... definitely a character building ride.
Just had a little work out round by timed route. 25k 400m climb.
65 mins this morning with 10k of steady climb into a brisk head wind.
Nice morning though, feeling more spring like.
Just done another 30mins on rollers @100-104rpm. Legs a little tender from this morning so this was just a recovery spin.
Gunner have a couple of pints now.
Well, I have been riding
Nice just under 3 hours with a mate on Friday... quite hard because of the pace and a whopping great big climb in it halfway. Legs hurt after that!
Yesterday had me commuting around London on my foldy by means of recovery as I had a long working day...
Today I went over the Gospell Pass from Llanthony, touched on Hay, Felindre, Talgarth, Llangorse, Bwlch, Llangynidr, Llangynidr Mountain from Llangynidr, Crickhowel, over the top to Llanbedr, Fforest Coalpit, Llanvihangel, HOME! That was just over 4 hours, just under 100 kms and God only knows how much climbing... one hell of a lot! But I was still able to sprint for the village sign and going at a steady 30 km/hr up my valley after all that, so well pleased!
I also managed the best climb of Gospell Pass ever... I was almost able to dance up it Think my slow, steep Spanish miles are starting to pay off Now I just need to build some more power and a little more endurance and I am ready to tackle the Fred Whitton in May
