Pyrennes Cycling blog: 4weeks today and il be a day in.

Time is clicking closer for the trip, and the improvements are not as big now, that last 10% i have in me for my peak is taking that bit of work to get im still around 80kg its hard balance to get ride of the extra bit of fat while still keeping myself fed and the muscles from going. Had my biggest climbing week last week as i hit the hills and eased off my flat work.

Last week was 337km 4,451 metres climbing, didnt have the big day in saddle i want so plan do that this week and just ease into the trip the weeks before now. New wheels i brought out at weekend flying delighted with them suit my riding style down to a tee and have helped me improve on the climbs so far.

Another 80km today which is good start week, no issues turning pedals but feel the weekend ride when pushing the limits a bit more. Cracking 95km ride on sunday, high speed of 27km per hour with good chunk of climbing thrown in delighted with how i climbed energy was good, and so the 100km days should be little threat to me in france and hopefully il handle the big days by holding myself back.

The people who have gone out and sponsored me thanks so much http://www.cmrf.org/sponsorshipPage/show/889 855euro at the moment, please if you haven't already please donate just 5euro from everyone who views this blog will see us well past the 1,000euro before i leave.

So with bike ready, the legs getting their, il watch the pros do it for 3weeks before we leave, the nerves are slight but im just amazed by my progress, im climbing alot faster than i thought i could, and have say iv been flattered by the comments on how i look younger than before, cycling might hurt your bum but its not half bad for the rest of me.

Also i broke 40,000 metres of climbing this months has been huge climbing month and im inside the top5 climbers on strava hopefully it will pay off.

View down to those i left behind.
