Good hiils on this route

Tuesday
Up & down Ben Lawyers in 2.02 hours (Fast walking running not on bike)
Just put this in as i could hardly walk when i got on the bike Thursday as my legs were burning from this climb.

Thursday

Friday

Hilliest route iv'e done to date must have been 8 miles+ off hills in total.
I was also knackered from Thursday & totally surprised myself that i did this route. From Stenhousemuir upto Avonbridge.

Saturday
Relaxing having a beer well deserved i think.

Hills kill me & still working out best strategies for maintaining speed & using as little energy as possible when tackling them. Will persevere & i don't think they'll get easier as the fitter i get the faster i'll want to go up them so i'll jsut be as knacked.

Excellent work I'm sticking to mostly 50's at the mo as I have my first 50 mile timed ride in September, I'm aiming for a top 10 finish, like you have only been going for a short time, my bike was delivered beginning of April.

Thanks
