Attacking Climbs on the Drops

[gbb]

Respect to you. When at my peak at about 50, I managed 18mph average quite regularly as a solo rider..usually 40 mile rides...you dont hang around at any point, push push push, attack the hills (inclines anyway)..and very few solo cyclists overtake you.

Respect to you more like @gbb. I normally average around the 18mph mark on this route but am 37, although only been cycling for 18 months. Hopefully can still do it at 50.
