With only 37 miles ridden in the last 5 weeks my epic training is non existent, so it's about time something was done. So an early and very wet start was in order today to kick start the training.
I took the clubs Hilly route with my little adaptation to make it bang on 30 miles from Hobbs Towers. As usual it took me a few miles to get into it, Clove was slow but not too tiring, and Drum was the easiest I've ever known it albeit I was riding slow today. The aim of the day was to have a gentle spin on a hilly route, get the legs turning, to tell how leisurely it was compare it to my best time over the course, a full 19 minutes slower today.
I'll have a couple more of these before a 100k Audax a week on Sunday, once the children are back at school I'll get out of some distance hilly rides in preparation for the 2nd of October and the Autumn Epic.
