I took an evening ride last night and did a few of the tough climbs around the lake, all of which have a pretty decent percentage when it comes to vertical metres climbing. I get to the top of these hills, which are around 2 - 3 kms in length and averaging about 8 - 9%, pretty much knackered. I often wonder what it takes to be a pro rider in a grand tour doing climbs 5 times these in length after riding 150kms already and then backing up the next day and doing it all again! Absolutely incredible.
Beautiful ride last night, with the sunset on Mt Ainslie just stunning, 60kms, almost 1000metres climbed, legs happily exhausted, off to bed. Back up today? hmmmmm.....
