Great spin through the Surrey Hills this morning.
I missed both my longer sessions this week so wanted to make up some kilometres.
Normally I would head out on a club ride on Saturday morning but yesterday’s forecast was miserable so I planned to skip it and work out a longer route with the same climb rate as this month’s Circuit of the Cotswolds.
This was to be my last endurance ride before the event so I wanted to see how I would fair over a course 75% of the length.
I managed to keep the power on and to pedal smoothly with controlled breathing on gradients up to 10%.
After that everything began to fall apart and by 20% I was pushing the pedals over one at a time.
Next weekend Mandy and I are planning a three-day trip along the coast from Brighton to Sandwich in Kent.
We will average around 60 km per day and the forecast looks promising (at this stage) but we’ve opted for B&Bs over camping.
