Hi,
Got a bit of a training conundrum, unfortunately not being local very long I don't know the best roads to train on, so I thought I ask any racing snakes or seasoned old club riders where to go!
I need to find a 10 minute zone three hill climb loop, where I can climb it, ride over the top, rest for approx 5 mins on the way back round to the bottom and then climb it again...
Preferably on a quieter road, and within an hour or so of York!
Does such a road exist?!!
Because it's zone three - it needs to be not too steep - say between 4% to 7/8% and suitably long so I don't run out of climb...
Like for instance this week I have 240 mins to ride out there do 8 reps at 10 mins each and ride back...
any suggestions gratefully accepted, thanks!
