Hill Sprints

I've checked the bike race course in Switzerland again and 320m climb over 10K TWICE is way more climbing than I've been doing. I found a little 1km long hill nearby with a 43M climb over the distance. I went up and down it 10 times....nice way to spend an Easter Monday holiday. I managed it all in the big chainset and even had fun chasing down 3 other cyclists who took the same route, oh how they laughed when they saw me turn round at the top and go back down. I found the chase gave me a lot more oomph than just doing it myself. Its hard to be just as self motivated when you are not in competition.
