Climbing Practice

After two hard days training with some 150 miles covered I decided to take the day off today as my legs didn't feel at their best this morning. The weather was good which was a shame but it would only have damaged my legs by over training if I went out.

Fortunately I got rid of the family for a week today so I can live like a cyclist - eat when I want to and get up at sensible hours. I may be cycling out to Clumber Park where they are staying for a week - cycling amusingly. I can cycle down one day, then cycle back the next day.

Tomorrow however I plan on doing some climbing specific training. I have devised a circuit with some nice climbs and I'll do it 4 or 5 times, making a total ride of 60 to 70 miles with the 10 mile ride there and back. I won't put a time constraint on myself as there is no average speed to aim for. The idea is simply to push as hard as I can on the climbs and relax and recover on the flats.
