Climbing up hills

I rode the Ay Up Yorkshire sportive last Sunday and tackled a few of the Yorkshire hills including Kilburn White Horse Bank, Rievaulx Abbey, Cod Beck, Murton Bank Hawnby. Loved it but like whats been said keep doing the hills and they do get a little less Dramatic.

I've basically been off the bike for 4 years, re-building my house. I started riding again 5 or 6 weeks ago. It took 3 of those weeks for the saddle to stop feeling like it was made of granite. I'm already doing hill reps. There is no better way to get your fitness back.

It is almost impossible to AVOID doing some form of hill reps round here unless you ride up and down busy valley roads all day!
