I rode Reid Rd this morning. Just one climb in my lowest gear. I pushed it but not as hard as I have in the past. I rode seated all the way when I think I could have got a bit of extra speed out of the saddle.
My previous fastest time in the lowest gear was 14:36 with most times in the 15 minute range. Now I might have to re-check next week with a few more attempts just in case I timed it wrong (I didn't) but my time this morning was 12:30. My fastest time ever is only 6 seconds less at 12:24 and that was in my 4th lowest gear and REALLY working hard!
Bearing in mind as well, this was in freezing cold conditions with 4 layers of clothing on. It just goes to show what dropping a few kilos does for hill climbing on the bike. Wonder if it'll transfer to the flat Toll Rd?
