I started back on the bike last October splitting my time between the turbo trainer during the week and longer rides on the weekend and this year have completed several sportives, some fairly flat like Bristol to London and some hilly like Tour of Pembrokeshire.
This weekend I completed the Valley Velo which wasn't too long but a lot of steep climbs and found the first 80 km ok but completely running out of gas for the last 20 km.
I am taking gel's, banana's etc during the ride and plenty of fluid but my questions is I am not training hard enough or am I just rubbish in the hills?
Any advice would be great as I need to know what to focus on this winter.
