Went for a ride with Martin this morning. We started at the Elliott Centre and went into the valley from there. First we went left on the upper road to 3rd Avn dip and then back to Dodds Farm all the way to the Ice Rink and Up Brickmakers Kloof and back in at Settlers Park to Dodds Farm and up at little walmer and back to Elliott Centre.
It was a nice +20km ride. I felt a bit week today as well but still pushed it a little. My heart rate up Brickmakers was 167bpm.
I'm getting use to standing and climbing now but I can't do it for more than about 1 - 2min. Downhill is lots of fun and I'm becoming one with the big. During the climbs gravity and my weight is still against me. Just to give you and idea how it feels for me to cycle up a hill take a 25kg cement bag and put it on your bike. If you weigh 80kg's take two 25kg cement bags strap them to your bike and go for a ride..... hehehehe
