DJR Posted May 2, 2020 Share Everything logical pointed to riding the MTB this morning, but then emotion took over. What better than a red hot blooded Italian on a foggy, wet and cold morning? Picked the route because if you don't have enough time or distance, you have to pick the steepest hill! Hell, I was so short of breath I wondered about Covid19 symptoms!

DJR Posted May 2, 2020 Share But luckily I soon enough climbed high enough for the shortness of breath to disappear like mist before the sun. The plan was to do hill repeats........and I did..........one of them! BenReaper, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Pikey and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted May 2, 2020 Share No ride photos from my “Ride in the ‘hood”, which ended on 55.35Km. A few things I realized I haven’t forgotten: 1. I can still ride without [emoji1588] [emoji1671] on the bars like before;2. The hills still hurt;3. I can still change a tube (puncture) in less than 5 mins - that’s right, punctured about 51km into the ride, with a not-so-nice (big) piece of glass wedged into the tyre being the culprit. I’m as unfit as I thought I would be, so planned a 25Km/h ride around my expectations. With all the turns and stopping for traffic, it’s easy to see why the ave. speed is affected.

Wayne pudding Mol Posted May 2, 2020 Share I picked the "straight up the steepest hill" route and regretted it Was so eager yesterday that my first hill was a pb despite some lockdown weight. Last hill was the slowest I’ve ever done. Today I paced myself and chose a flatter route Pikey and BenReaper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
