@Almartino and i are currently in the Pyrenees with our bikes.
Due to me having an operation 6 weeks ago, neither of us are quite as fit as we would like to be (he stopped cycling in sympathy!). We managed the Col d'Aspin but we would like to do some of the bigger ones next year.
It seems to me that here we are looking at very long grim drags of mostly 8 - 10% but above 20km.
What sort of training would people suggest (we live in North Yorkshire)
I am light with big strong legs, reasonable stamina but naturally poor heart and lung fitness.
Al is almost the exact opposite - poor knees, heavier than he should be but with naturally good heart and lung fitness .
