awesome han!
Thanks Merry :D
Wasn't shifting much this morning on my first ever hillclimb LOL Forgot my hrm at home and I need that in order to kick myself into working hard mode... So I pootled up this hill, doing a track standing start that had some people along the side waiting gasp, as they thought I was going to fall over LOL
Then I just spun up in a small gear, high cadence, lots of dancing and prancing around out of the saddle... While all the real testers were in the saddle grinding a big gear in the big ring LOL
Still managed 2nd lady... but am abviously more of a roady when it comes to climbing hills LOLOL
On a positive note: when I got home from work this evening I wanted to take the crosser up the hill, but was expecting a friend t come round, so went for... a little run in stead :) and I can still do it :) was powering up to the ridge without stopping, but now I can feel my legs and it was only half an hour :-O Just as well I don't have any serious races till 6 June now so I can get back into running without worrying about the DOMS :)
28 miles, road out and canal back. Still warm at 5 pm and loads of flies!!
Route
85 miles Keighley club run - Etape de Cafes. Keighley, Skipton, Earby, Gisburn, Bolton by Bowland, Settle, over the tops to Gargrave then home - quite hilly!
16 members went out on this, it was steady but my biggest ride since i did this last year, have lost some overall cycling speed (not been out much) but quite pleased considering. Bottom quite sore though.
First time on the bike for a couple of months. 24 miles on the road and unlike AS my arse isn't sore as mine is well padded :o:D
