Well I thought it was time to up my route to over 30 miles from the 24 miles loop I had been training on. So I looked at the map and thought , if I go a bit further and take that road I can cut through to there and get back home that way. Seamed fine on the map and all was well till I arrived at Hayden lane, Warnford. This was the biggest hill I had yet tackled over 200m high and went on for miles...... well maybe a mile and a half or so. All I know is when I got to the top I thought I was going to die !!!! It was hard but the view was amazing and the weather was fab.
Off to Cornwall next week and taking the bike with me for a bit of training..... I'm sure there are plenty more hills there to tackle.
Cheers
Nic

Michelin Tyres
Those excellent folk at Michelin have kindly sent me a set of tyres in way of sponsorship! I can only say I'm extremely grateful. As for the tyres they are fantastic a marked improvement over the standard ones I had, at least 1-2 MPH faster on the flat, to me thats quite a bit.
Did my normal 25 mile circuit today which was a couple of minutes faster than before so that was great. Clocked 40 MPH download! now that was quite scary.
