In haste of getting out again tonight and beating the rain, decided on a quick route just to take in some hills again. Route was only short but had a good few climbs.
Leaving Rose Croft headed out over Balvaird and Mulbuie. Quite a good climb for fresh legs. Again, somethingwe keep saying we have to avoid. At the A835, took the cycle path over to Tore and then finally back from Tore to Muir of Ord the short way. Back in the Muir took the usual right and headed off back up Mulbuie and back round the way I started out the ride over Balvaird.
Turbo training on climbing is helping. Using the techniques, took the hill back in a higher gear keeping the work rate constant. Not as bad as dropping the gear to lowest. Impressed.
Managed to miss the worst of the rain. It was starting to fall approx 1 mile from home, so it wasn't too bad. The new road surface down the hill to home is slick, wet and ever so slightly dodgy tonight. Took my time as I cannot afford injuries at this point in time. 8 days till we leave and counting.
Anyway, on just under 14 miles in 46 mins. 17.5 mph average.
Cheers
Hindo
