Over the Hill

Did a ride yesterday focused on doing some timed climbs, to set some benchmarks for the future.

Here they are:

• Short Hill TT (Driveway>Substation) 9:58 283W av 166bpm max 177bpm 70rpm
• Fac>Ash (Footpath>Village sign) 4:56 286W av 159bpm max 169 bpm 67rpm
• Yew>Ash (Drive>First House) 5:47 285 av 158bpm max 167bpm 68rpm
• Ash Grind (Last Pothole>x-road) 8:06 272W av 156bpm max 166bpm 74rpm
•  

I set season best PBs from 2:40 330W > 10:27 270W.  

4 min was 319W. This gives some indication of the size of the task to get back to previous fitness. My all time best 4 min PB (398W) was done on the Yew>Ash climb back in April 2009. Then I managed
4:12 396W av 166bpm max 174bpm 83rpm 


So a way to go..
