Early new years resolution... Get good at hills in time for next years sportives!
I have brought myself some cold weather gear for the road bike so I can still go out and train on the Secteur, but would getting a mountain bike and doing cannock chase over the winter improve my climbing ability?
I know that hills are all about putting down a high wattage for a sustained period, but would mountain biking provide that, and would the skills (by skills I mean extra cardio effort, pedel strake and so on, nor bouncing off boulder skills)
Also, is mountain biking a good fat burner?
