I did a repeat ride tonight for the first time. Up to now I have been trying to find new routes and build up a small library of my favourites. I have a variety; short & hilly, longer & gradual, longer with a bloody big hill in the middle. That type of thing.
What I need to do is list these routes properly then work out a training diary. But that sounds very organised to me. Must do it though.
So, anyway I did a repeat ride. I wasn't trying to beat my old time. Honest. But I was pleased I went quicker, though not as much as I thought (which might be explained by my slightly inaccurate iPhone GPS route logging). I did feel stronger on the climbs as was able to sprint up a couple, which I couldn't do a couple of months ago.
