Hitting the Hills
Hill work today and man was it a killer got 4hrs in and nine climbs to speak off, did not worry about the total mileage but got 55 in. If your interested in seeing the elevation here is a link http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/pa/pottsville/321124966061584322I did various chunks on the hills first long climb I did some accelerations, the next climb I spun, you get the idea. The best one that shows me how much progress I have made last year was the fourth climb, I stood the whole climb shifting to make the gears harder if it leveled off then back down as it got steeper. Last year it took me 8 minutes to climb this hill this time it was just under 5 min. In ride fuel, I used three and a half bottles of perpetum, one cliff bar broken into thirds and two shots of gell, some anti fatigue caps, RCS, and eduruolytes. When I left it was 48 degrees but I know you can still cramp up so I figure it wouldnt hurt. Hard a** work out..gun
