I know I should be entering the 'tapering' period of my training regime, but this is ridiculous... 36 miles in a week is nowhere enough, even though one outing was a trip to Box and Leith Hills with Paul and the other a trip to Highgate with Darren for a full hill repeats. Paul and I decided we should do some hills so headed over for a 30 mile circuit, with two trips up Box Hill. Came at Leith from the North this time which was surprisingly easy, hit the top without realising... box hill also fairly straight forward - exactly 1.5 miles and 7% all the way up. Eight of those should equal almost a Tourmalet!
Then Darren and I did some hill repeats on the Hill east of Highgate West Hill, only half a mile in length but averageing 9% with 15% near the top. Debriefing in the pub afterwards Darren was all for joining us on the Etape.... even decided to have his bike serviced.
Weekend saw our yearly company awayweekend - this year just outside Lisbon in Portugal, a great weekend but no cycling and not the best preparation for the Etape...
