then a ride back to Sheffield via
long term goal for me winnats,
i am quite concerned that it is nearly turbo trainer time again. i wonder if in years to come that particular instrument of torture might go the way of bear baiting and corporal punishment and get banned. i think i might try illuminated mountain biking as an alternative.
i guess that's what those rides were like. the rest of them were probably treating it like a level 2/3 ride. for me, every hill was a hardcore interval, going into the 180s every time just to hang on. it's funny how pride can be such a driving force. as an aside, i tried one of those caffeine energy gels yesterday. after riding up a bloody awful hill on our second lap (on a fucking heavy stinky primo) i had the most awful cold sweat and near passing out experience. the gel thingy did a pretty good job of keeping me alive on the way down, because in my experience delirium and big rock steps don't really mix.
