Notes
The hills killed me today. Out of the 13 miles the 10 constant long and short steep hills. Franc tells me is my bike that is not an up to-date which makes things difficult. I gave it all and on one occasion I had to stop for 30 mt and push the bike as it was so steep and the gears would not do it for me. I just realised how much I miss running when cycling as when I run I am the boss of the hills whether when cycling is the other way around. My quads really struggled but in a healthy way. I was delighted to reach home. However, I must remember that my legs are getting stronger for cycling and they get used to the action.
