Well I decided I needed to stretch my legs, my commutes not that long (1-2miles each way mainly climbing with short descents - different routes each way)
I ride a 50/14 fixed gear, today I did 8.3miles in 35minutes... which was crap but traffic lights, slow drivers (I ended up putting the power down and overtaking 4/5 cars in one sprint on the flat). The climbs and lights killed me today!!
I was going to do 20miles which I used to do on a 44/13 setup with steep climbs in Kingston which used to be a piece of cake.
I am not sure what happened today, when i got home my chest was thumping I could see my chest moving, had a headache and after sitting down I started seeing stars... also got a bit of lower back pain. I may raise my bars slightly as I dropped them quite a bit (a 1 inch drop)
Really has got to me today.... feel bloody weak :evil:
