I rode it solo a few days before. That ‘hill’ is really a set of steep ramps separated by flatter sections. Seems to go on for ever and impossible to get set into a rhythm. Tough, for sure, and a very sweaty experience for just 15kms!
@@nickdorey940 indeed. I did it couple of days prior as well. My legs definitely weren’t fresh for it and I tried desperately to find rhythm without much success. Luckily there were some who started too hard and I managed to pick up spaces in latter part. Next ride and race on Sunday come along
@ Thanks. I don’t race as a cyclist. I used to be a very serious runner, but when I had to give that up due to injuries, cycling took its place, but I decided not to race again, just to enjoy riding. I train hard to enjoy my riding more, especially in the mountains. ROUVY really is a great training tool. I am pretty brutal with myself at times, as you know!
