6th bike ride in a row today. My tapering plan allows me to step it up on week 7, i'm at 25mls at the moment broken down into a 10mls warm up followed by a pint of ale then a 15mls hill ride. The way i feel in the knees it would be foolhardy to go for more miles so i'm going to alter my route and standardise on a more sustained road hill route with a shorter warm up. One of these two...

Storiths-Skyreholme-Greenhow-Thruscross-Storiths (22mls)
Storiths-Appletrewick-Hebden-Greenhow-Thruscross-Storiths (25mls)

There's the Bewerley loop down into Nidderdale and back up which adds 6m/900', down the B6265 and up the lane way. It'd be nice to get there because i've always wanted to do that climb. Fingers crossed, walk before you run.
