Well Done Mate 4k climbing with no training is an achievement to be proud of, as for walking a bit, dont knock it, there are better cyclist than you who have done the same

 

[Firestorm]

Well done, that's pretty impressive

Thanks very much guys, appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the write up.

Me too. If that's all your rides on Strava prior to the Etape, then you did pretty well. Imagine if you'd done some training......

Yeh, that's all my rides on Strava. I'm already looking forward to next year so I can see what I can do with some proper training!

Great achievement and great write up my legs are aching just thinking about it

 

[RudeNot2]

Brilliant :-) Enjoyed reading it so much so that I have just pre-registered on a whim :-0

More training required....

Well done massive step from a mid 20's ride to this but you did it.

I went from mid 30's to a 50 and that was difficult but like they say it's all in your head if you can overcome the demons telling you to stop you can do almost anything.

So whens your next one then?

Good effort, by no means a shabby start.
Get the training in and you will get even stronger.
