I knew this before, but a couple of days in Derbyshire have just proved it :
I'm rubbish at going up hills.
There are lots of excuses (ridden a lot this week, wrong gearing, etc) but it is quite a realisation. I exploded on anything steeper than about 1:7 As the gradient rose, my speed slowed and my heart-rate went through the roof. I need to be a lot stronger for the Etape.
2 days in Derbyshire has proved "useful", but sole destroying.
