milky4130 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Are there anybody with training tips, on how to go as fast as 25kmph up Suikerbossie after already completing 80km's of the PnP Argus Cycle Tour route? Need to get revenge on those blokes that dropped me on that climb last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mob Posted October 7, 2008 Share Finish all your food and water and dog off your spares tubes and tools over Chappies!! And suck wheels all the way until you get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbaymike Posted October 7, 2008 Share milky....find a hill that is similar to suikerbossie.....longer if possible but with the same gradient. then you ride your heart out to the top after a long training ride. take your time....then go down and do it again...and again. you want to puke training like this but it helps....welcome to the hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemish Lion Posted October 7, 2008 Share Mmm... I'm afraid milky will overtrain at this rate Make sure you do enough recovery rides... Just find a 'fast' group to train with, so you have to put in that extra effort - its hard to punish yourself - just focus on their wheels and keep the vomit in TNT1 - I'm hoping by next year she will be...

Joe Low Posted October 7, 2008 Share Hi Milky I thought you were very tolerant getting a load of bs replies to a straightforward training question on the technical board. I was a bit embarrassed that there wasn't much constructive said. Maybe Jamis has something or someone else in the know will come through. The basic advice I hear is train at what you're weak at but they don't hand out PhysEd degrees for that. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
