Not very good at hills, but know the feeling. There one I can't do and I think its the shape the steep bit is at the top

 

[RWright]

That hill has some steep grades on it but you will get it.

Cold solo run today but thankfully only light winds. 3 degrees at the start and didn't get my layering right as was cold for the outward half into the wind that was around. Better coming back thankfully, when it had warmed to a barmy 6 degrees! 1st 60 mile ride in the bag.

I still have such a long way to go though to get my fitness to where I need/want it. Will focus on interval type work for a few weeks as I was disappointed with my speed today.

Loads of PRs though, so well done

Also went out last Tuesday for the winter night training. Had the T6 Cree light delivered Monday from eBay so tried it out. Got to say I'm very impressed with ti and considering I only paid £18.99 delivered from a UK seller. The extra confidence you get riding at a decent speed in the pitch black back lanes with a good light is incredible.

That's a mountain, not a hill
