In just over a week I'll be having a go at the Fred Whitton Challenge - one of the hardest one-day rides in the UK. It's 112 miles and takes in 6 of the major passes in the Lake District (including Hard Knot Pass which has a 30% gradient!).
It's going to be pretty tough so on Saturday I'm doing a tester ride that I've worked out around Sheffield (I'm calling it the Savin Savage Centurion). It's 100 miles and takes in 6 of the hardest hills I can find.
At the moment, though, I can't imagine much harder hills than the final hill on the way to work! It's not getting any easier. Ridden in every day this week (still no car) on my new (old) going to work bike. Which is surprisingly fast!
